Question

How would vocational types be useful for understanding varied work environments?

Answer 1

According to Holland, a congruence between one’s vocational type and work environment, can improve their success and satisfaction at work. People with the same or similar vocational types are likely to be placed together which can result in them enjoying working with each other. Additionally, people with the same vocational type tend to create a work environment that rewards thinking and behaving like that type. When individuals are in an environment that supports their job personality, the natural outcome is that they act and feel more effective.
