英文摘要 |
The purpose of this study was to examine the career development experiences of 10 high-achieving individuals with disabilities. An informal, semi-structured, open-ended protocol based on the research questions was conducted, and data was analyzed using qualitative data analysis software-NVivo8 in a hermeneutics approach. The main findings of the study were as follows: (a) the vocational behavior model of high-achieving individuals with disabilities was conceptualized as an ecological system, which included personal factors and the environmental factors in their area; (b) personal factors were evaluated, including intelligence, education, family, disability, beliefs, and peer influences, among others; (c) environmental factors including the workplace culture, job structure, reinforcement system and so on were also considered. The model was heavily influenced by interior process actors (e.g. development, socialization, congruence, and self-determination) as well as exterior process factors (e.g. job opportunity, labor force, and policy). This study hopes to contribute to relevant policymaking and research in the future. |
