• W2108442942 abstract "VOCATIONAL CALL AS AN ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY TO CAREER DECISION: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY Research has suggested a relationship between religion and career decision. However, little is known about the process through which religion influences career decision, particularly for those who view their careers as a calling. Furthermore, most of the research on calling and career decision has been with Protestants. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to extend the knowledge of vocational calling with lay Catholics as well as explore how this population experiences and discerns a call to a career. The study used a phenomenological qualitative methodology. Seven participants who reported experiencing a call from God to a career engaged in face-to-face interviews. Among the key findings were that the participants defined a calling as using one's gifts to serve God and His people, and the participants had a sense of being pulled toward their calling. Although the participants' definition of calling was rooted in Catholicism, a significant finding was that most of the participants had a period in their lives of questioning their faith. The questioning of their faith was a difficult and painful process for them because they were raised Catholic. As a result of questioning their faith, some of the participants did not initially follow their calling even though they had known their calling quite early. This led most of the participants to feel a sense of unhappiness, along with an ongoing sense of being pulled back. Returning to the Church led these participants to follow their calling as well. However, some continued to struggle to determine which area within their calling to follow. Prayer was one of the resources the participants used to either find their overall calling or the area within the vocation to pursue. Two of the participants combined their faith with information they received from a career center to find their calling. Following the calling led to a sense of happiness, although some participants reported stress due to initial disapproval from family members. The study will assist psychologists and career counselors in understanding the process through which the participants experienced a calling as well as helping religious clients in discerning their vocation. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There have been many people who have helped me through the journey of completing this study. First, I am indebted to the 7 participants. I appreciate your time and commitment to the study. Learning about your tribulations and perseverance to follow your calling is truly inspirational. I am also grateful to my two research assistants and my peer debriefer. Thank you for your hard work and your eagerness in assisting me in this project. Thank you to the members of my committee. Your assistance and support helped me to complete this study. To my advisor, Dr. Foley, it was a pleasure to have worked with you throughout my master's and doctoral studies. You were committed in helping me complete this project with your countless hours spent reviewing the study and providing me with suggestions. You taught me so many lessons as a researcher and clinician and in life in general. I am grateful for your guidance and will miss working with you. I am also thankful to Dr. Beitin, who assisted me in analyzing the data. There were moments when you were busy and you made the time to help me interpret the data. I appreciate your dedication. I would not have made it through this journey without the support and love of my family. Mommie and Papi, you both made many sacrifices in order for me to reach my goals in life. You both spent many nights standing by my side and encouraging me as I was working on this study. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have you as my parents, and I love you both very much. I am also thankful to my brother, who paved the way for me to attend college and graduate school. You made me believe that I could attain my dreams; I love you.
