• Work as a Calling in China (2015, background): “This research has revealed that a sense of calling is perhaps surprisingly prevalent, with more than a third of most college student and employee samples reporting that they view their careers as a calling (e.g., Duffy & Sedlacek, 2010; Wrzesniewski, McCauley, Rozin, & Schwartz, 1997).”
• Listen to Your Heart? Calling and Receptivity to Career Advice (2012, unknown): “…their occupations (i.e., university students) or who are already in their occupations (i.e., working adults; Bunderson & Thompson, 2009; Dik, Sargent, & Steger, 2008; Duffy & Sedlacek, 2007, 2010; Hirschi, 2011; Steger, Pickering, Shin, & Dik, 2010; Wrzesniewski, McCauley, Rozin, & Schwartz, 1997).”
• Calling and Career Preparation: Investigating Developmental Patterns and Temporal Precedence. (2013, background): “As such, the presence of a calling facilitates a career choice that implements one‟s self-concept into the work role (Duffy & Sedlacek, 2010).”
• The Development and Initial Validation of a Career Calling Scale for Emerging Adults (2015, unknown): “In terms of prevalence, career calling is a salient construct for more than 40 % of university (Duffy & Sedlacek, 2010) and first-year medical students (Burges, Manuel, & Duffy, 2013), which is similar to the rates found in adults (Bunderson & Thompson, 2009; Wrzesniewski et al., 1997).”
• Calling and Life Satisfaction Among Undergraduate Students: Investigating Mediators and Moderators (2012, background): “Drawing on numerous studies which have linked calling to life meaning (e.g., Duffy and Sedlacek 2010; Steger et al. 2010), and life meaning to life satisfaction (e.g., Steger et al. 2006), we hypothesize that calling relates to greater life satisfaction among undergraduate students, in part,…”
• Development and Validation of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire (CVQ) and Brief Calling Scale (BCS) (2012, methodology): “Using data from over 5,000 college students, Duffy and Sedlacek (2010) found that more than 40% state that having a calling to a particular line of work was mostly or totally true of them; no substantive differences were found across gender or ethnicity.”
• Self-Regulatory Processes Mediating Between Career Calling and Perceived Employability and Life Satisfaction in Emerging Adults (2015, unknown): “Second, career calling, which is associated with life meaning (Duffy & Sedlacek, 2010), might stimulate more general motivational and emotional self-regulatory processes, and be less connected to specific, career-related strategies.”
