Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">This Q study explored the systems of influence on 24 male career counselors’ practices in Qatari public schools along intrapersonal, relational, and contextual dimensions. Results revealed three perspectives, which differed on the basis of the loci of supports. Accordingly, relationships matter most for F-1, professional goals and values matter most for F-2, and work conditions matter most for F-3. There was also a high level of consensus among factors, revealing shared viewpoints on the supports and constraints to participants’ practices. These results are discussed in light of the status of career counseling and the importance of research emerging from the Global South.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10775-025-09740-8" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10775-025-09740-8</a></p>
