Preferred term

holland's theory of vocational choice  

Definition

  • The theory of vocational choice developed by John L. Holland is one of the most widely researched and applied theories of career development. Based on the premise that personality factors underlie career choices, his theory postulates that people project self- and world-of-work views onto occupational titles and make career decisions that satisfy their preferred personal orientations.
