Frustration-Instigated Career Decisions: A Theoretical Exploration of the Role of Frustration in Career Decisions

Angela M. Young

California State University, Los Angeles, amyoung4{at}verizon.net

From a career decision-making perspective, frustration may be an important catalyst for career change. Literature is discussed and used to develop propositions that present perceived frustration, not just as a state of discomfort but as an impetus for career change. Self-perception and achievement need are presented in relation to frustration to speculate about specific career decisions that might be enacted in a state of frustration. A framework is developed to represent career decisions based on proposed relationships. Implications are discussed for human resource development specialists, managers, and employees and suggestions are presented for conducting future research.

Key Words: frustration theory • self-perception • career development
