adolescents, wellbeing, career wellbeing, hedonia, eudaimoniaAbstract
The theoretical understanding and empirical measurement of adolescents’ career well-being is limited to the hedonic dimension of well-being. Although valuable, a more integrated framework for assessing adolescents’ career well-being that includes an eudaimonic well-being perspective is needed. Arguments in this paper are premised on three research questions: What does career well-being mean from the eudaimonic perspective of wellbeing, and how is this different from the hedonic definition of career wellbeing? How can eudaimonic career well-being be measured or operationalised among adolescents? What are the practical implications of an integrated framework for assessing adolescents’ career well-being?
