Calling, careers, and career counselling

This article opens a special issue of the British Journal of Guidance and Counselling on “Calling, careers, and career counselling”. Calling constitutes a topic that has progressively attracted attention across various fields, including vocational psychology and organisational behaviour, deserving in-depth study in reference to guidance and career counselling. We will briefly introduce the aims of this special issue and present the eight articles included. The hope is that this special issue can make a concrete contribution to a more in-depth study of the complexity of calling, also identifying new complexities and future paths for research as well as intervention.
