Abstract (in English)

Effect studies and quality measurements of Youth Guidance is in the Act on guidance. The youth Guidance Centers must have a system for quality control and quality assurance which contain:

• An annual plan for following up the results of quality assurance raises .
• Transition rates of transition between primary and secondary education , or other activity
• An annual user survey , which includes those who receive guidance from UU

Ministry conducts an annual user survey of students in public schools 9 and 10 pm. for examination by users benefit from UU 's guidance.

The User Survey has been made since 2009. The response rate from the participating schools is high ( 65-67 per cent . ) And over half of all students responding to the survey ( in 2012 the response rate was 57% ) .
The key question is whether students are getting the guidance in relation to making choices of education. There can hardly establishes a clear relationship between guidance and effects, but it is possible to make some contexts of supervision contribution to the overall effect .

Abstract (in English)

This review has looked at guidance and counseling in the transition from primary and lower secondary
school to upper secondary education, from upper secondary education to higher education, and of employed
adults, i.e. ’transition guidance and counseling.’ It contains only studies that deal with guidance and
counseling in which the effects are documented.
It appears from the foregoing section that, on the basis of the 39 studies included in this review, we can say
that what contributes most to guidance and counseling as a feeling of clarification and decision-making
competence is a combination of many forms of intervention (guidance and counseling activities) that are
part of a curriculum.

Abstract (in English)

Relationships between the statewide implementation of comprehensive guidance programs and the school experiences of high school students were explored. Data from 22,964 students attending 236 Missouri high schools were analyzed by using hierarchical linear modeling. Schools with more fully implemented model guidance programs had students who were more likely to report that (a) they had earned higher grades, (b) their education was better preparing them for their future, (c) their school made more career and college information available to them, and (d) their school had a more positive climate. Positive program effects were found after removing differences due to school enrollment size, socioeconomic status, and percentage of minority students in attendance. Results highlight the important roles school counselors play in promoting the central educational goals of their schools and support a comprehensive guidance program focus for university counseling faculty who train school counselors.

Abstract (in English)

Twelve studies published between 1983 and 1996 that met the definitions for admissible studies established by Baker and Popowicz (1983) for a meta-analytic review of the effects of career education interventions were submitted to a similar meta-analytic integration. Effect sizes based on Glass's (1976) formula were determined for the current sample and were combined with the Baker and Popowicz (1983) sample, providing a sample of 30 studies and an overall effect size of 0.39.

Abstract (in English)

Research by Right Management has revealed an key advantaged to providing employees with career development opportunities. Career development not only equips employees to perform, but also inspires them to perform. It motivates them to make the most of the skills and capabilities they acquire. In a study of organizational effectiveness involving more than 28,000 employees in 10 business sectors and 15 countries worldwide, we found that providing career development opportunities has a marked positive impact on employee engagement and a range of other factors directly related to organizational performance.

The impact of organisational support for career development on career satisfaction

The impact of organisational support for career development on career satisfaction

Abstract (in English)


Purpose – The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between organisational support for career development (OSCD) and employees' career satisfaction. Based on an extended model of social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and an integrative model of proactive behaviours, the study proposed that career management behaviours would mediate the relationship between OSCD and career satisfaction, and between proactive personality and career satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach – Public and private sector employees (N=90) participating in career development activities completed a survey regarding their proactivity, OSCD, career management behaviours and career satisfaction.

Findings – OSCD, proactive personality and career management behaviours were all positively related to career satisfaction and career management behaviours mediated the relationship between proactive personality and career satisfaction. There was no support for the career management behaviours mediating between OSCD and career satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications – This study provided support for the extended SCCT model by testing a subset of its proposed relationships using a cross-sectional approach. The sample surveyed (employees participating in career development activities) and the large proportion of full-time employees, may limit the generalisability of the findings. Future longitudinal research could more fully test the relationships proposed by the extended SCCT model and include a greater representation of part-time and casual employees.

Practical implications – The results suggest that there are benefits for organisations and individuals investing in career development.. First, from an organisational perspective, investing in OSCD may enhance employees' career satisfaction. Second, employees may enhance their own career satisfaction by participating in career management behaviours.

Originality/value – This study integrated the predictions of two models (an extension of SCCT and a model of proactive behaviours) to test the influence of environmental (OSCD) and individual difference (proactive personality) variables on career satisfaction. Exploring how organisational and individual variables together influence career satisfaction provides a more balanced approach to theoretical development.

Abstract (in English)

The issue of unemployment remains high on the political agenda. However, there is evidence that employers can be wary of employing people who are out of work. Employer practice is key, both in terms of providing employment opportunities to job seekers, and in providing space for low-skilled people to develop their skills and cement their attachment to the labour market. This report discusses the role of career guidance in mediating between job seekers and employers to allow both to achieve their objectives.

Abstract (in English)

An emerging interest in group guidance, collective forms, and integrative approaches is evident in Denmark and serves to contest a conventional individualistic mode of delivery. The latter being criticised for being both resource heavy and in risk of contributing to feelings of failure in those who are less successful with educational outcomes or employment. By showing how guidance activities can develop within the community generally, the book puts forward a decentred perspective. Career guidance is not an objective in itself; it is a means to support a person's participation in the economic society through education and work. The author shows how the participants in career guidance modify and change practice, thereby creating new possibilities for themselves and each other.

Term

Quantitative and qualitative evidence

Definition

Numerical information is used to provide quantitative evidence, while qualitative evidence is based on observation and judgement and deals with meanings. Qualitative evidence is usually provided by experts or people considered by virtue of their training or work experience to be appropriately qualified to make such assessments.

Comment

For a guidance service, numerical evidence might be, for example, the number of clients using the service, their ratings of satisfaction with the service, or the number who obtained employment; while qualitative evidence might be provided by interviews with clients about their experience of using the service carried out by an independent researcher.
