Anne Roe Career Development Theory Pdf To Excel

1904-1991

Roe's Career Development Theory (1956) is very individually focused:

Biology

believed that intelligence and temperament are more determined by heredity than are interests and attitude

Sociology

Economic limitations, race, gender, and cultural or social attitudes beyond individual's control
Career not determined by genetics, more frustrations or satisfactions in life.
Careers determined by degree of satisfaction being met
The more intense the needs, the more need to be successful

Psychology

Based on the psychological needs that develop from the interaction between child and their parents/caretakers

Osi- pow (1997) agrees that prior research on Roe’s (1956) theory is flawed but he argues that other problems with Roe’s theory preclude meaningful investi- gation. Osipow argues that more recent formulations about career choice development and behavior have greater promise (Osipow & Fitzgerald, 1996) and he advocates their investigation. Roe’s classification system has proven particularly useful to career counselors in the influence it has had in the development of career assessment instruments and in its overall contribution to the mapping of the world of work.

Ann Roe's work is foundational to career counseling because it emphasized the importance of family relationships in the development of personality, which eventually led to career choice. Following the psychodynamic influences of the times, she emphasized the role of early childhood experiences and parenting styles as the precursors to adult personality.

Central to Roe's theory is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Physiological needs must be satisfied before other needs can be met
Safety needs: shelter, good health, avoidance of danger

occupational needs: security needs come first before other interactions and benefits

Belonging and love: caring for and being cared for
Esteem needs: need to feel important and respected
Information needs: to perform job well
Understanding: must understand and interpret great amounts of information
Beauty: in the arts and entertainment field, it is essential
Self-Actualization: need to be all that one can be (Roe finds this more important than information)
