Description
Summary:This article presents a systems model of the development of work adjustment that counselors working in federally mandated one‐stop career centers can use to conceptualize, assess, and facilitate consumers' work adjustment. The vectors comprising work adjustment (defined as the interaction of the person and the work setting) are work role behavior, task performance, and worker satisfaction. The model suggests influences on and probable sources of difficulty in each of these vectors and consequent interventions to address these problems.
