Abstract

Informed by three interlocking perspectives, namely, recognition theory, psychosocial resources, and the expanded notion of work, this study evaluated the effectiveness of a career support service project characterized by experience-driven interventions on reengaging a diverse group of youth aged 15–21, who were not in education, employment or training (NEET) in community contexts and on enhancing their psychosocial resources. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant pre- and post-intervention changes of 660 NEET participants in relation to their psychosocial resources encompassing career adaptability, social support and career engagement. All participants reported that they successfully achieved status-based and/or non-status-based recognition over three to six months after case closure. The results of multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) further revealed that the four categories of interventions provided by the project significantly influenced the participants’ composite psychosocial resources when controlling for their gender, educational attainment, length of duration as NEET, presenting problems, and pre-intervention scores. Moreover, the combined package of interest development plus career counseling and guidance ranked the most effective intervention. This study sheds light on developing career support services for NEET youth in diverse community contexts.

摘要

本研究以认知理论、心理社会资源和扩展的工作概念这三个相互关联的视角为基础，评估了以经验驱动的干预措施为特征的职业支持服务项目的有效性，以重新吸引 15-21 岁的多元化青年群体，那些没有在社区环境中接受教育、就业或培训（NEET）的人以及增强他们的社会心理资源。重复测量方差分析 (ANOVA) 的结果显示，660 名 NEET 参与者在干预前后的心理社会资源（包括职业适应性、社会支持和职业投入）发生了显着变化。所有参与者都报告说，他们在案件结案后三到六个月内成功获得了基于地位和/或非基于地位的认可。多变量协方差分析（MANCOVA）的结果进一步显示，在控制了参与者的性别、教育程度、NEET持续时间、提出问题和预习后，项目提供的四类干预措施显着影响了参与者的综合心理社会资源。 -干预分数。此外，兴趣发展加上职业咨询和指导的综合方案被评为最有效的干预措施。这项研究为在不同社区背景下为 NEET 青年开发职业支持服务提供了启示。NEET 持续时间、出现问题和干预前评分。此外，兴趣发展加上职业咨询和指导的综合方案被评为最有效的干预措施。这项研究为在不同社区背景下为 NEET 青年开发职业支持服务提供了启示。NEET 持续时间、出现问题和干预前评分。此外，兴趣发展加上职业咨询和指导的综合方案被评为最有效的干预措施。这项研究为在不同社区背景下为 NEET 青年开发职业支持服务提供了启示。
