Individual Goals
Contents
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.
Conceptualizations
Occupational learning goals
Occupational learning goals target the incentive to carry out certain activities for gaining more knowledge and further cognitive individual self-development.
Career goals
Career goals are purpose goals, meaning goals to achieve more income or promotion.
Goals in private life
Goals in private life can be broken down further into relationship goals and leisure goals. Individual goals may change depending on the individual situation in the life course.
