The management functions of planning, controlling, organizing, and assessing are fundamental components of manager’s role. The literature review shows that there is variety of classifications about managerial style. In this article are considered some gender differences between managers as predictors of managerial behavior. This study is important because it reveals many of the often reflexive ways that gender differences, and the behaviors associated with them, are enacted in the organizations. Many the issues discussed in this paper are spontaneous, and reflect who managers are by virtue of the ways in which their professional realization took place. Women and men in organizations tend to have different communication and work styles. This provokes researchers to continue the debate about why such professional differences exist in the workplace. Gender-based group differences in organizations can create misunderstandings. Managers need to be especially aware of the potential for such misunderstandings in the work environment, both in their own actions and reactions as well as those of their colleagues and staff toward each other. The study shows significant gender differences in the manager’s professional sphere of activity and also in personality.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32-39</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincentas Lamanauskas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CAREER EDUCATION AS SELF-REALISATION SPACE CONSTRUCTION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career process studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career success</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">labour market</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.journals.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1083570</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In post-modern society where rapid economic, social and political changes take place, career planning and management becomes more and more urgent every day. The mentioned changes not necessarily are positive or providing only all-round benefit. The environment becomes turbulent, in general sense; therefore it is natural that career environment in fact, is chaotic as well. Nevertheless, career for many people is, undoubtedly, very important, because it is directly related to life quality. Professional activity satisfies almost all human needs: physiological, safety, social, attainment, self-realisation, independence, autonomy and other. The efficiency of the mentioned activity and the ability of the personality to construct his career are closely related things. 
 In the context of these changes and new requirements to man’s activity, has changed an attitude to career phenomenon. Therefore, career phenomenon becomes a research object for many science fields: educology, psychology, culture, economics, management and other. Because of that reason career process is considered interdisciplinary research object and its definition is understood differently and different career conceptions are distinguished. One can claim that this is methodological discourse field. From a practical point of view, it is important to find effectively running career management systems, guaranteeing personal and concrete organisation’s professional success.

Guidance plays a decisive role in the major decisions that individuals have to take throughout their lives. In Latvia the most often career guidance are implemented by school teacher - career counselor, career counselor, classroom teacher, in some cases the deputy director, school librarian. Lack of common vision to competencies, necessary for career guidance, lead’s to different specialist’s involvement in career guidance implementation. Scientific and empirically tested evidences of special training in career guidance and counseling benefits still needed.
 Empirical data were collected through student self-assessment questionnaires (n=1013) and analysis of group (n=633) and individual (n=699) counseling evaluation reports. 18 counselors were involved in the study. Data collected in the period from September, 2012 till May, 2013. 
 Results of the study show that career guidance practitioners with career counsellors qualification act effectively than practitioners without special training in guidance. Correlation analysis between career guidance practitioner’s previous education and students' comprehension about their career choice show positive correlation – Spearman’s rho = 0.624. This means that the higher career counselor’s qualification is facilitative factor of student’s comprehension about their career choice. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">62-70</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genutė   Kalvaitienė</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viktoras   Senčila</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MARITIME STUDENTS’ PROFESSIONAL CAREER PLANNING SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AS ASSESSED BY LECTURERS‘</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">maritime education and training</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">maritime student</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">professional career</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.journals.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1083581</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The particular dynamics of vacancies and movement of labour force, rapid changes of activity content are characteristic of maritime sectors and its labour market.

The sample of the study consisted of 127 Bulgarian teachers. Research tools include Organizational Citizenship Behavior Checklist (OCB-C) created by Suzy Fox and Paul E. Spector (2011) and Scale for satisfaction with coworkers (with subscales Support, Trust and Formal relationships) from Questionnaire measuring job satisfaction, developed by Radoslavova (2005). The results revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between OCB and the components of satisfaction with coworkers such as support, trust, and working formal relationships. By providing original data, this study may contribute to the development of knowledge on OCB in Bulgarian teaching context.

This study is based on the viewpoint that science teaching, even today, is so fragmented and decontextualized with the predominance of traditional methods such as lectures and textbooks which in turn favor an abstract approach of the contents, decreasing the students’ motivation and interest for science. The research is qualitative, involving 20 teachers of science and biology, 10 from Brazil and 10 from Argentina, who responded to a semi-structured interview. The results show that the interviewed teachers, both in Brazil and Argentina, understand the need to rethink and change the current structure of science education in the intention of renewing curriculum structure, pedagogical practice and encourage the training of teachers towards meeting the training needs of the contemporary world.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48-55</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stanislava Y.

The Government of the Republic of Lithuania have approved a number of strategic documents focusing on the development of an integral coherent system of vocational guidance. The aim of a vocational information centre (VIC) is to convey quality information about the world of occupations, promote self-knowledge of choosing the right profession while designing a personal career as well as provide the parents and teachers with the required information. Upon the formation of new tendencies towards vocational information and counselling services, the modern day man finds the need to obtain virtual information a crucial issue. Therefore, the conducted research has analyzed the abundance of data presented by VIC websites and suggested a model for information that matches with the needs of consumers.

To understand the specifics of women’s professional career, scientists seek to explain the relations of employment and careers. A career is defined as a position of employment, a sequence of roles, activities and experiences that combines the job, the career and the profession as well as the situation of being unemployed. It means that a career may develop not only upwards, but during its course women may end up in various situations and have various statuses of employment. Therefore, employment is associated with a professional career through the change of the status of employment. The research includes the research results on women’s career patterns. The research aim is to examine the ways of women’s career pattern. To achieve the aim, a survey of women was conducted. In the survey, the ways of women’s career pattern in Latvia were identified based on seven ways of women’s career pattern, as defined by D. Super’s Theory of Career Development. The paper concludes that the distribution of the given of women’s careers patterns are as follows: 38.5 % are parallel careers, 25.6 % interrupted careers, 15.4 % stable careers, 12.8 % traditional careers, 5.1 % instable careers and 2.6 % are stable housekeeper careers. The research results will contribute to the understanding of the ways of women’s career pattern. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16-23</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ana Cristina   Santos Duarte</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Héctor Santiago   Odetti</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RESEARCH PROJECTS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION DEVELOPED IN ARGENTINA: A BRAZILIAN POINT OF VIEW</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">educational intervention</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">projects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher training</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://jml2012.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1141410</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The constant and rapid changes that mark the contemporary world require adequate, and compatible with our own critiques against positivism, social practices from the universities. In this sense, the university has sought to establish partnerships and collective actions with the community and develop more direct research and intervention projects, especially with schools, to contribute to the improvement of the teaching-learning process.

The mentioned changes are not necessarily positive or providing only all-round benefit. The environment becomes turbulent, in general sense; therefore it is natural that career environment, basically, is chaotic as well. Nevertheless, career for many people is, undoubtedly, very important, because it is directly related to life quality. Professional activity satisfies almost all human needs: physiological, safety, social, attainment, self-realisation, independence, autonomy and other. The efficiency of the mentioned activity and the ability of the personality to construct his career are closely related things. Seeking to analyse university student position regarding career questions, a written form survey was carried out. The research was carried out between September and December, 2014. The research sample (265) was structured applying a consecutive ‘bunch’ system. The respondents from three Lithuanian universities Klaipėda, Vilnius and Šiauliai, were selected in the sample. Professional career parameters were evaluated: career conception, the importance of work values and abilities, study influence, promoting and limiting factors and personal traits. The research is grounded on a mixed strategy, when quantitative and qualitative research approach is combined. The obtained results, based on qualitative analysis, about professional personal career promoting and limiting factors and personal traits are presented in this research. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6-15</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caroline Ruiller</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beatrice I.

While RP is often used in training sessions, contributions on its evaluations have decreased since the beginning of the 1980s. Although RP as a training method had been criticized for several reasons, RP has the advantage to conciliate theoretical knowledge and practical construction of meaning, based on the learners’ experiences, games and the group as a place of creation and growth. In this research - based on the analysis of a reflexive exercise led by a trainer during 17 years of experiencing RP – it is argued that the socio-constructivist approach, by promoting awareness in the training process, allows trainers to develop relational skills and to gain behavioural flexibility in their sessions. The main results of our study indicate the need for learners to co-determine the parameters of the RP process (rules and security) in close collaboration with the trainer, in order to make this method effective.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24-36</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nikolay Ivantchev</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stanislava   Stoyanova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BULGARIAN STUDENTS' CAREER MOTIVATION AND CAREER CHOICE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career choice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career motivation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cohort study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">motivational types</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">university students</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://jml2012.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1215185</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Career motivation is related to career choice.

Present society is an information, creative society, in which a person has to learn practically all his life, to take over the knowledge, created in the world, to use it, to create new knowledge and to hand it over to others. Lifelong learning is necessary seeking to prepare employees to compete in global knowledge economy and to adapt to live in digital and high technology society.

It is expected, that teachers will educate active knowledge society members, will train the necessary abilities to achieve economic prosperity. Therefore, teacher’s satisfaction with his activity has a distinctive meaning educating young generation. Pedagogues’ work motivation and satisfaction with work affect the quality of their teaching subject and can have great significance to the pupils’ learning, to the high academic results of the pupils, strengthen their motivation and wish to improve. Therefore, this research deals with early, middle and late career pedagogues’ satisfaction and dissatisfaction with their professional career factors. It has been sought to ascertain how teachers understand their career, what aspects they distinguish in it, which of their roles they consider the most important, how they evaluate pedagogue status in society, which factors related with pedagogical activity raise satisfaction and dissatisfaction with their career. 
The obtained results allowed identifying, depending on pedagogue’s career stage, certain differences and similarities evaluating pedagogue status in society, the performed role content, satisfaction and dissatisfaction with pedagogical activity factors. It turned out, that especially many late career stage pedagogues accentuate low pedagogue status in society. Pedagogues identify low pedagogue status in society with the low pedagogue professional prestige. Early career pedagogues value pedagogue status in society most optimistically. As the main factor of satisfaction with pedagogical activity the great majority of early, middle and late career pedagogues name the possibility to realise themselves, as the most important factor of dissatisfaction with pedagogical activity - poor education system funding.

It is obvious, that certain competencies are being formed and form during that period. It is likely, that their significance is different, and also certain differences in terms of sex are possible. 
Research on student career problems in the latter years remain actual. It is likely, that analysing students’ positions on these questions, sufficiently objective initial information is obtained. Empirical research (N=265), carried out between October to December, 2014 showed, that six most important career management competencies are significant for students.  Carried out career management competency internal structure analysis showed, that problem solving competency (SI=0.89) is the most significant one, the leadership competency (SI=0.74) is the least important. However, evaluating according to significance index, one can claim, that all discerned competencies are sufficiently significant. It has been stated, that problem solving, social, change management and self-awareness competencies are statistically more important for female students than male.

The results indicated that some personality traits were interrelated. A group of relationships between the personality traits included neuroticism, communicative self-control, and physical aggression. Another group of relationships between the studied personality variables included compatibility for team work and readiness for risk-taking. Indirect aggression was a linking variable between aspiration level on the one hand, communicative self-control and physical aggression on the other hand, and also with readiness for risk taking. Frustration tolerance was not related to the other studied personality traits in the athletes. The period of sports experience, and age both predicted athletes’ compatibility. The period of sports experience also predicted athletes’ readiness for risk taking and indirect aggression. The importance of these findings for reducing traumatic experiences in athletes was discussed. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41-50</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Levette S.

Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore the correlationship among dysfunctional career thoughts, dialysis variables and demographic characteristics of persons diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis in the Bahamas. The aim is to investigate the correlation among dysfunctional career thoughts and dialysis variables, and demographic characteristics (e.g. age, education, marital status). Persons living in the Bahamas on dialysis diagnosed with ESRD were recruited from a local hospital. Results revealed an overall effect of the participants’ characteristics on dysfunctional career thoughts was significant. Participants’ age between 19 and 28 had a positive correlation with the dysfunctional career thoughts. Accordingly, participants with junior high school certificates significantly have a negative effect on dysfunctional career thought.  In addition, further results showed the marital status of participants, especially related to their non-married status, which appeared significant though this significance was weak. Implication for integration of career counseling and nursing implication for persons on dialysis have been developed.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15-25</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincentas Lamanauskas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE FOURTH/FINAL-YEAR UNIVERSITY STUDENT FUTURE PROFESSIONAL CAREER: UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career understanding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">professional career</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">quantitative analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">university students</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://jml2012.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1230779</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">University study period is not only professional qualification and certain competence acquisition.

From the first days of the studies it is necessary for the students to start planning career, analysing career questions they are concerned about. On the other hand, every student’s individual career understanding, personal motivation to foresee vision and strategy in the direction of successful career is very important.  Therefore, it is obvious, that it is important to analyse students’ position on their professional career questions. 
The aforementioned question solution requires reliable and adequate information. The research on university student career problematics latterly remain very urgent. It is believed, that analysing student positions on these questions it is obtained quite objective primary information. The empiric research (N=185) carried out between January-May 2016 showed, that the fourth year student career understanding basically is adequate, however, there exist understanding differences according to sex factor. Student career understanding structure has been revealed.

The aim of the research was to identify job searching habits of long-term unemployed social benefit receivers in the context of career counseling. 89 long-term unemployed social benefit receivers took part in the survey. They were asked to fill a questionnaire about their job searching process – where and how they are doing it. None of the respondents have mentioned career counselor as a professional that they are seeking help from. The results show that long-term unemployed social benefit receivers prefer to search for job with friends or relatives’ help; they don’t have any CV or motivational letter ready to submit and they don’t want to attend any courses about preparing these documents. Most of the long-term unemployed social benefit receivers haven’t visited any job interview during the last two months. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8-14</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE ROLE OF COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL PREPARING STUDENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL LIFE-CAREER</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career choice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career planning</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">education career</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">labour market</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">work world</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://jml2012.indexcopernicus.com/abstract.php?icid=1230776</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Career choice is one of the most important steps in person’s life.

The development of skills related to career adaptability and self-efficacy in the planning of a career could help students who are finishing Upper-secondary School (Lykeio) to approach creatively their career aims, and to deal effectively with the transitions or unexpected events by applying appropriate actions. The present study employed the survey research strategy in order to examine the level of the career adaptability and self-efficacy in the planning of a career with male and female students (N = 240) of Upper-secondary Schools (General Lykeia - GEL) and Vocational Upper-secondary Schools (Vocational Lykeia - EPAL) in Greece. Specifically, it examined the level of skills which students declare that they possess regarding the type of school, their gender and the educational level of the parents. The finding that the levels of career adaptability differentiated not only as regards the gender of the students but also the studies of the father and the mother has presented particular interest while the students who study at the General Lykeia were found to have higher scores in the areas: “career interest” and “curiosity” in the Career Adapt-abilities Scale (CAAS) compared with students who study at the Vocational Lykeia (EPAL).  Finally, the motif of the scores in the B’ Class of Lykeio showed that the students of EPAL excelled in all the skills apart from the factor “career interest” while correspondingly in the C’ class of Lykeio students of the General Lykeio (GEL) excelled in all skill categories.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal"

unemployed social benefits receivers are entitled to many educational activities to help them with reemployment in Latvia. Long-term unemployed social benefits receivers attend different educational activities but remain unemployed. It is important to understand why it happens and what kind of additional support long-term unemployed social benefits receivers need. Current research took place in Riga Social Service, long-term unemployed social benefits receivers were interviewed in order to collect data about their experience in adult education and their opinions about the process. The informants were asked to reflect on their future perspective in the aspect of job searching, taking into consideration their freshly obtained education. Interview transcripts were decoded and categorized in 5 distinct categories. Results show that only educational activities can’t solve unemployment problem and employability skills training program should be created. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22-29</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PROFESSIONAL SOCIALIZATION AS SUCCESSFUL CAREER PRESUMPTION</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">human activity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">professional socialisation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/453-1516300677.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Work is regarded as the most important and even the most essential human activity, however, the type of working activity, changes, unemployment influence person’s and society life.

A survey design was employed for the research. A sample of 99 vocational and adult education lecturers from universities and colleges of education in Edo State participated in the research. A structured questionnaire, validated by two experts was used for the collection of data. The Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of instrument, which yielded a coefficient value of .78. Thirty items questionnaire was administered to the respondents by the researchers, with the help of two trained research assistants. The data were analysed using mean, standard deviations and t-test statistics. The findings of the research showed that career development services have a role to play in developing student’s lifelong learning self-efficacy. It showed that there was no significant difference between the mean ratings of vocational and adult education lecturers on the role of career development services in developing student’s lifelong learning self-efficacy. These findings showed that vocational and adult education lecturers have the same perception on the role of career development services in developing student’s lifelong learning self-efficacy. It was therefore recommended, among others, that government through curriculum designers should integrate career development services into vocational and adult education programmes. This would help to instil confidence and positive attitude on students and working adults so that they can continuously learn new skills that would stimulate them for lifelong learning activities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30-45</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renata Vaitulionienė</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CAREER EDUCATION IMPLEMENTATION IN GYMNASIUM FROM THE STUDENTS’ POINT OF VIEW</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career choice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career competencies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gymnasium students</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2019/453-1554094192.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Career planning becomes one of the most important processes in a young man’s life, during which a decision is made, influencing his further life.

Professional guidance, career education and career planning services are important for education system and labour market and their close interrelationship.  Career management as a lifelong lasting process in our contemporary society becomes very urgent due to many reasons. First, labour market demand change is becoming more rapid. People more often have to change the type of activity and organisation. Second, at this moment labour market needs new quality workers, not only able to acquire a certain level professional education, but also to adequately react to organisational, regional, national, global, social and economic environment dynamics, able to establish and implement strategies how to choose, master, coordinate work and other social roles with personal life values and ambitions. New requirements appear for human activity, a new career conception. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically provide career services to people, seeking to help them plan career and be successful professionals. Professional consultation service importance reflects in various European Commission and Lithuanian documents. In many documents it is emphasised that professional consultation services is the most important teaching and occupation policy element. Professional consultation has to play a crucial role encouraging learning availability, mobility, to raise learners’ motivation, to increase occupation and to decrease unemployment.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default"

successfully progress in achieving the objective of vocational and technical education, it is necessary to determine the students’ satisfaction levels with the programmes as it relates to their career decision efficacy. This research, therefore, determined the demographic predictors in the relation between academic major satisfaction and negative career thoughts. The research was guided with four hypothesized research questions. Cross-sectional design that embedded a correlational survey was employed. The participants were 622 vocational education undergraduates selected from a public state-owned university in South-west Nigeria. The students’ demographic variables (e.g. gender, academic level of study, age, and subject areas of specialization), academic major satisfaction scale, and negative career outlook sub-scale were the main constituents of the questionnaire that was used for data collection. Data analyses were performed using mean, standard deviation, bivariate correlation, and regression analyses. Results depicted that the students’ satisfaction with their academic major significantly predicted their negative career thoughts. It was also found that gender, academic level and subject areas of specializations were the demographic variables that predicted satisfaction with one’s academic major, as well as negative career thoughts. Intervention studies were therefore recommended for career behaviour modification among vocational education undergraduates.    </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6-14</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial Board</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">END PAGE</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">end page</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2019/453-1554094225.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">End page, BJCEM, Vol. 6, No. 1, 2018</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Other</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kristina Gelažauskienė</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalia   Augienė</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincentas Lamanauskas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">STUDENTS’ CAREER EDUCATION IN GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS: PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION, PROBLEMS AND IMPROVEMENT POSSIBILITIES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltic Journal of Career Education and Management</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career choice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career competencies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">career education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">general education school</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2019/453-1554094136.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">School has to guarantee the effective development of career competencies, which are necessary to consciously and successfully create and manage your career and, respecting student’s inclinations, values and abilities, to help him cognise himself, the activity world, and to choose future career.

For the education system, young person’s independence, career management competence development must be urgent. An appropriate personal career management and ability to make decisions must become education priority. Already at school young people have to be taught to consciously and purposefully make a career choice. Career education specialists, providing qualitative professional information, consultation, and career education services, can help them.  
Having carried out an individual interview, career education specialist opinion was analysed about students’ career education organisation in gymnasiums. The research results showed that various career education services are provided in educational institutions and this has an impact on students’ professional self-determination. However, according to all inquired informant opinion, they are insufficient, because students’ expectations are not completely satisfied. Besides, career education services are provided not systematically, and specialists are not provided the possibility to qualitatively provide services, proper financing is not allocated. Career education specialists think that in order this work is performed systematically and become useful for students, first of all, an attitude to this career position has to change, full time positions established in education institutions, for the work is carried out consistently and systematically.

Numerous studies convince us that not only the well-being of a person depends on the chosen work, but also his attitude to himself and life in general, therefore, the right and timely professional choice is very important. Research about factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions in Ukraine shows that self-determination is an important factor in the socialization of young person, and the factors that determine students' career choices become an actual problem of nowadays. The present study involved full-time and part-time students of Institute of Philology and Mass Communications of Open International University of Human Development &quot;Ukraine&quot; in order to examine the factors of career self-determination of students of higher education institutions (N=189).  
Diagnostic factors of career self-determination of students studying in the third and fourth year were carried out using the author's questionnaire. Processing of obtained data was carried out using the Excel 2010 program; factorial and comparative analysis were applied. Results of the study showed that initial stage of career self-determination falls down on the third and fourth studying year at the university, when an image of future career and career orientations begin to form. At the same time, the content of career self-determination in this period is contradictory and uncertain, therefore, the implementation of pedagogical support of this process among students is effective.

A successful career gives a possibility to be acknowledged in society, to occupy a certain social status. Therefore, a rational, consistent, conforming to abilities and interests career choice means not only professional behaviour development, but also a grounded attitude to other aspects of one’s own life. In nowadays society, rapidly changing the activity world, changes occurring in the labour market, the old professions disappearing and the new ones appearing, it becomes more and more problematic to choose a promising career, corresponding to the society and person’s individual needs. Career choice - is a continual, long-term process, in which career education process occupies an important place. Educational influence of career education upon the youth has significance for the whole life: choosing a profession, making important career decisions, seeking appropriate education, planning professional career, integrating in the labour market, realising their inner potential, going through professional success and fullness. Therefore, one has to look at a career education process as a systematic phenomenon, a complex of devices and activity directions covering the whole school’s educational activity and the whole personality development. A carried out scientific literature and document analysis and the conducted research results allow us to form a systematic attitude towards career education and to distinguish structural parts of career education system. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4-8</style></section></record></records></xml>
