Hollands Theory of Vocational Choice

Holland's Theory of Vocational Choice suggests that people are most satisfied and successful in careers that match their personality type. He identified six types: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional (RIASEC). Each type reflects certain traits and preferences. For example, Realistic types enjoy hands-on work, while Artistic types thrive in creative environments. Holland believed that individuals naturally gravitate toward careers aligning with their type, leading to greater job satisfaction and success. Ultimately, choosing a career compatible with one's personality enhances motivation, performance, and happiness at work.
