Sažetak
This article describes Donald Super's theoretical contributions to understanding people's careers. In his attempts to shape a comprehensive career theory in the 1950s through the mid-1990s, Super complemented the traditional individual-difference approach to vocational guidance with three additional perspectives: (1) developmental perspective focusing on the life course of vocational behavior and stressing continuity in career development ; (2) phenomenological perspective emphasizing the role of self-concept in the development of an individual's career ; and (3) contextual perspective bringing forward the importance of multiple social roles and their interaction across the life-span. It is concluded that, together with his followers, Super has had, and continues to have, a major impact upon career development research and counseling.
