"This article seeks to explore chronic career indecision in light of career
development theories and action research perspectives, aiming to delineate
some intervention strategies. Firstly, the issue of career indecision in
general is examined, and research in this area is then utilised to fuel a
discussion of chronic career indecision in particular. Attention is drawn to
the antecedents of chronic career indecision, including personality factors
and social and situational factors, and the psychological, interpersonal,
and general well-being of chronically undecided individuals is then examined.
Secondly, concepts are reviewed from three career development
theories, namely the life-span life-space theory, the cognitive information
processing theory, and the narrative approach, as they relate to chronic career
indecision. Finally, along with an action research perspective, several
intervention strategies are proposed which career counsellors may find
helpful when working with chronically undecided individuals." (author's abstract)... view less
