Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Anne Rowe directed considerable attention to the developmental period of early childhood in her work. Her approach focuses on the ways early home life and parental relationships contribute to career choice. Rowe's theory suggests that career choices match the level of needs those choices attempt to satisfy. With Maslow's hierarchy of needs in mind, Rowe's system stresses the influence of childhood on later career paths and presents three basic causes and effects lowest-order physiological and safety needs completely met but ack fulfillment of the needs for belonging, Emotional concentration on the child More often than not, children with overprotective, demanding parents and and self-esteem. Fulfillment of unmet needs is sought through adult vocations. Avoidance of the child when a child's physiological and emotional needs are neglected will likely grow grow up seeking occupations of material acquisition and solitary pursuit. Acceptance of the child Children an essential as part of a family that shares decisions and responsibilities finds many or most of their needs fulfilled and will probably seek careers that will satisfy the highest order needs. On an important note, Rowe's approach also supposes that each of the above is influenced by genetic endowment.
Eric:Attitudes, interests, economics and social conditions may be overcome by personal effort, but the individual must know how and when to make that effort. A Fields and Levels diagram, or matrix, outlines Rowe's approach and shows how interests and occupational types, that is, fields, combine with varying levels of responsibility, skill and ability. Possible occupations and careers are placed accordingly. Rowe's eight fields are Service, business, contact Organizations, technology, outdoor Economics, general, culture, arts and Entertainment. The corresponding levels are Professional, managerial and Above, semi-professional and Small Business, skilled, semi-skilled and Un-Skilled. Since mastery of tasks in one developmental stage depends upon having accomplished tasks in preceding stages, career maturity can be gauged by specific behaviors. Success with tasks tied to levels of career development can be a guide to what step should be next.
