Super's Career Development Theory

Super's Career Development Theory suggests that career choice and growth are ongoing processes shaped by an individual’s self-awareness and life stages. It emphasizes that people continually develop their careers by reflecting on their abilities, interests, values, and experiences, adapting their goals as they gain new insights and circumstances change. The theory highlights the importance of personal growth, social influences, and life roles (like student, worker, or family member) in shaping career decisions over time, encouraging a lifelong, developmental perspective on career planning and adjustment.
