No, the correlation is only moderate to low. [This should be somewhat concerning since they purport to measure much the same thing]
|

age range 15-25
Efforts that individuals make to get additional occupational information, choose career alternatives, decide on an occupation and being work |

1. Stabilizing - settling down in a job and being able to meet job requirements
2. Consolidating - "becomes more comfortable with job" "wants to be known as a dependable producer" [really for all personality types and what about mental illnesses??] 3. Advancing - moving ahead into a position of more responsibility with higher pay. [this wouldn't be value congruent for some types of people] |
|
|
What (and when) is the maintenance stage?
|
Age range = 45 - 65 years
Individuals are not advancing but are maintaining their work status. [Really -- most CEOs I know are in this age range. this whole schema is very long-in-the-tooth. In 1957 or in blue-collar occupations, this might be accurate, but not in professional occupations in this century.] |
I don't think it this has any universal validity. Most C-level people and SVPs that I know are in this age range. This whole schema is very long-in-the-tooth. In 1957 or in blue-collar occupations, this might be accurate, but not in professional occupations in this century.
|
|

|
Holding - individual is concerned with holding on to his/her position
Updating - individual seeks new knowledge to continue to hold his/her job Innovating - making progress in one's profession by learning new skills or making contributions to the field. Like Updating on steroids. |

|
Age 65+
the post career years (traditionally) Decelerating - slowing down one's work responsibility Retirement planning - financial planning for retirement -- can include a return to the crystallization stage tasks Retirement living - salience of work role decreases |
too much emphasis on the doddering old dude who can't do as much as he used to. too little emphasis on value shifting as a result of experience. or simply wanting new challenges. again -- this has a assembly-line mid-last-century bias
