John Holland's theory of kinds and person-environment interactions is the theory I decided to use for this week's conversations. This theory is founded on four tenets:
(1) Most people can be classified into six different personality types:
- realistic,
- investigative
- artistic
- social
- enterprising
- conventional
(2) Environments can be classified into the same six types
(3) People seek environments that will allow them to develop skills, express opinions, and accept challenges and roles; and
(4) The interaction between a person's personality and environment affects behavior .
Holland also includes the idea that our choices of careers, hobbies, and academic subjects are influenced by our interests, which in turn might change some of our personality traits. Holland believed that the majority of people will eventually fall into one of the six categories based on this .
While this theory might effectively depict how a person's work environment affects them and vice versa, it neglects to take into account the influence that ethnicity and culture can have on careers. The fact that people from different cultures are given different possibilities in life and that they have additional factors that can effect professional choices, in my opinion, is something that this theory unwittingly overlooks. For instance, it is well documented that BIPOC have much lower incomes than white people and report more instances of unjust hiring, compensation, or promotion practices .
Lower levels of poverty, access to education, and location all contribute to this. Imagine helping a BIPOC person who has just landed their ideal job but is already experiencing discrimination or receiving unjust compensation. Although Holland's theory suggests that there should be a perfect fit between environment and personality, it ignores the possibility of social conflict in the workplace. I believe this theory can be changed to be more multiculturally appropriate.
According to the recommendations in our textbook, we should take the time to consider how our client's cultural background may have impacted their career in the past in addition to being aware of it. Prejudices must also be recognized if we are to properly advocate for clients when it is necessary.
As a career advisor, I think this theory can still be useful if we can take everything into account while applying it.
