职业使命感应该对个人和组织产生积极的影响，但当前的理论发展受到对什么构成或不构成使命的概念不一致的困扰。本研究使用聚类分析来识别来自不同专业的 407 名德国本科生中存在呼叫的基本和可选组成部分。三种类型的呼唤融合在一起：“消极的职业自我中心”、“亲社会宗教”和“积极的多样化工作取向”。所有类型都可以被描述为实现的职业认同（高承诺/高自我探索）、高职业信心和职业投入。没有定义特征的是工作或宗教的中心地位、对特定工作价值观的认可或核心自我评价的积极性。结果表明，使命需要强烈的自我探索，并且可能是有益的，因为它们与身份成就相对应，可以促进职业信心和参与度，但不一定具有亲社会倾向。对未来的研究、理论和实践提出了建议。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
A sense of calling in career is supposed to have positive implications for individuals and organizations but current theoretical development is plagued with incongruent conceptualizations of what does or does not constitute a calling. The present study used cluster analysis to identify essential and optional components of a presence of calling among 407 German undergraduate students from different majors. Three types of calling merged: "negative career self-centered", "pro-social religious", and "positive varied work orientation". All types could be described as vocational identity achieved (high commitment/high self-exploration), high in career confidence and career engagement. Not defining characteristics were centrality of work or religion, endorsement of specific work values, or positivity of core self-evaluations. The results suggest that callings entail intense self-exploration and might be beneficial because they correspond with identity achievement and promote career confidence and engagement while not necessarily having pro-social orientations. Suggestions for future research, theory and practice are suggested. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
