Main

Individual goals have a motivational quality, meaning the desire to achieve a specific outcome. Moreover, goals have a volitional quality meaning the will and the commitment for certain activities or results. Among others, occupational learning-, career goals as well as goals in private life can be distinguished (Abele, 2002[1]). Individual Goals play an important role in Social Cognitive Career Theory.
