NEETs' Professional Integration
2015 - 2019
Applicant: Prof. J. Rossier, Prof. K. Massoudi, Prof. V. Pomini, Prof. C. Bonsack
Influence of maladaptive personality traits, career adaptability, and self efficacy on the professional integration of marginalized young adults in the State of Vaud
Les difficultés d'intégration des jeunes adultes peu qualifiés représente un défi pour nombre de sociétés modernes et le terme NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) est utilisé pour signifier une population de jeunes adultes vulnérables, sans emploi et pourvus d'un niveau de qualification professionnelle faible, qui courent le risque d'une marginalisation socioprofessionnelle et d'une dépendance durable de l'aide sociale. En suisse, comme dans l'ensemble des pays de l'OCDE, les responsables politiques reconnaissent aujourd'hui la nécessité d'agir afin d'endiguer ce phénomène et différents programmes d'aide à l'insertion sont proposés.
L'objectif global est l'étude du rôle de certaines ressources personnelles (sentiment d'efficacité et capacités d'adaptation de carrière) en tant que facteurs modérateurs de l'impact des traits dysfonctionnels (évalués selon une approche dimensionnelle des troubles de la personnalité) sur les tentatives d'insertion professionnelle d'une population NEET inscrite dans des mesures d'aide à l'insertion. Le projet prévoit l'étude de l'évolution des caractéristiques des bénéficiaires à travers la mesure, l'évaluation de l'effet de ces caractéristiques sur l'insertion professionnelle effective des bénéficiaires (suivi à 9 et 18 mois), ainsi qu'une comparaison avec un groupe de contrôle, présentant des caractéristiques similaires en termes d'âge et de niveau de formation, mais non inscrit dans une mesure d'aide sera également évalué.
Personality and Work Success in Switzerland: A Representative Analysis with Particular Focus on Gender and Psychological Type of Work
2015 - 2018
Applicant: Prof. A. Hirschi, Prof. J. Rossier
Les gens choisissent différentes professions en se basant en partie sur leurs caractéristiques personnelles. De telles différences individuelles en lien avec le choix de carrière et les comportements et accomplissements organisationnels sont les schémas comportementaux relativement durables des gens - leurs traits de personnalité. Le présent projet vise à mieux comprendre comment les traits de personnalité sont liés au choix et au succès professionnel, en se focalisant spécifiquement sur les effets du genre. Tout d'abord, en se basant sur l'Enquête Suisse sur la Population Active (ESPA), le projet permettra de dresser une analyse représentative de l'état actuel et des développements historiques du marché du travail suisse, en termes du nombre de personnes qui occupent des postes de type réaliste, investigateur, artistique, social, entrepreneurial et conventionnel (RIASEC), en incluant les différences dans la répartition des genres selon les différents types psychologiques des activités. Ensuite, en nous basant sur les données du Panel Suisse des Ménages, nous explorerons de quelle manière les traits de personnalité prédisent le type RIASEC de la profession exercée par une personne et si la relation entre les traits de personnalité et le type de travail diffère entre les hommes et les femmes. Finalement, nous examinerons de quelle manière les traits de personnalité d'une personne prédisent le succès professionnel en termes de satisfaction au travail, salaire et niveau de connaissances requises au travail. Nous explorerons également si la personnalité a un effet différent sur le succès professionnel pour les hommes, en comparaison des femmes. En bref, ce projet nous aidera de manière significative à mieux comprendre la structure du marché du travail suisse d'un point de vue psychologique et à enrichir nos connaissances relatives au lien entre les traits de personnalité, le genre et le succès professionnel en Suisse.

- 2015-2018 : Professional transitions and pathways: Impact of personal characteristics and resources, and cultural background in middle-aged adults.
Ce projet recourt à une large perspective psychologique et observe les rôles des ressources environnementales et du contexte culturel afin d'étudier les effets directs et modérateurs/médiateurs 1) des caractéristiques individuelles (telles que la personnalité, la force de caractère ou la croyance en un monde juste), 2) des conditions et des exigences professionnelles (par ex. le stress au travail, la discrimination sur le lieu de travail, l'insécurité de l'emploi), et 3) des ressources individuelles (telles que les capacités d'auto-adaptation, d'auto-efficacité ou d'autorégulation) sur les transitions et les parcours professionnels des adultes et sur leur épanouissement. L'approche longitudinale auprès d'un échantillon d'adultes d'âge moyen (25 à 55 ans), avec et sans emploi, se concentre sur l'identification des vulnérabilités et des ressources psychologiques - ou facteurs de résilience - qui permettent de les surmonter, afin de prédire les parcours professionnels objectifs et subjectifs.

Requérants: Prof. Jérôme Rossier & Dr. Koorosh Massoudi (for Switzerland), Prof. Gedeon de Bruin, University of Johannesburg (for South Africa)
Cette étude vise à évaluer les effets modérateurs de la personnalité et de la culture en lien avec sur le « demands-control model of job strain » de Karasek. Ce modèle stipule que le « job strain » au travail se manifeste surtout dans les situations où on retrouve : des exigences de travail élevées, un contrôle et une autonomie faible au travail et un faible support social au travail. Les conséquences du « job strain » sont coûteuses, notamment à cause des maladies physiques et mentales qui y sont souvent liées. L'objectif de cette étude est d'évaluer les caractéristiques individuelles qui pourraient être considérées comme de facteurs protécteurs et de vulnérabilité au stress professionnel en tenant compte de l'influence du contexte culturel et des stratégies de coping des individus en comparant une population d'Afrique du Sud et de Suisse

Koorosh Massoudi Holder of a doctorate in psychology from the University of Lausanne and specialized in the management of stress, I am a teacher and researcher at the Institute of Psychology. At the heart of my activities is an inquiry into the paradoxical nature of work, as a vehicle for creativity, self-fulfillment and human solidarity, but also as an unbridled race that sometimes leads to conflict, suffering and exclusion. In addition to my research on health promotion and the prevention of psychosocial risks at work, I teach psychological assessment methods and counseling techniques. I am also a consultant to individuals and companies. |

Ivan Leandro Canzio
In 2015 I obtained a Bachelor degree in Sociology at the University of Alicante (Spain), and in 2019 I completed the Research Master in Sociology and Demography at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, in Barcelona. Although my research interests at the beginning were health inequalities and housework division, during my Masters’ I ended up becoming passionate about labour market and employment issues. In my thesis I study non-standard employment (in particular, temporary employment) and subjective and objective job quality, under the supervision of Felix Bülhmann and Jonas Masdonati. Having the advice of a sociologist and a psychologist helps me to evaluate these work-related aspects simultaneously from an individual-based and a context-based perspective. At the same time, I try to take advantage from my personal experiences as a non-standard worker during the recession years in Spain to study the topics that I work on today.

Marine Cerantola Recently graduated with a master’s degree in counseling and guidance psychology from University of Lausanne, I currently work as a teaching and research assistant and doctoral student. Throughout my studies, I’ve had the chance to work as a student assistant and to do an internship at the CePCO. My master’s thesis focused on involuntary career changes from a social psychological identity perspective. These different experiences gave me the opportunity to discover the field of scientific research and to develop and increase my interest in the latter.
|
Caroline Frésard After a career in teaching literature and on-the-job psychology studies, I completed a Master's degree in Counseling and Career Counseling Psychology at the University of Lausanne. My master thesis focused on the relationship between marginalization and decent work, as well as the attitudinal variables that moderate this relationship, such as proactive personality, career adaptability, critical consciousness and work volition. I am currently working as a doctoral student at the SNSF on involuntary professional reconversions with a qualitative approach. My areas of interest are identity processes, and narratives generated by professional transitions. |
Nimrod Levin I am currently a final-year doctoral student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and University of Lausanne. I completed bachelor studies in Psychology and in the Amirim Interdisciplinary Honors Program, and two master’s level studies in Computational Neuroscience and Vocational and Counseling Psychology. While my doctoral project focuses on developing psychodiagnostics methods for the differentiation of types of career clients, my research interests encompass the cognitive, personality, and emotional mechanisms involved in career decision-making, intervention research and assessment, individual and cultural differences, and psychometric theory. In addition, as a practicing psychologist and researcher, I led several social impact projects aimed at supporting the personal and vocational needs of traditionally marginalized groups, such as African refugees in Israel, LGBTQ individuals, women in STEM, and members of the Jewish community in Germany.

André Oliveira Borges After studying political science and psychology, I obtained a Master's degree in counseling psychology at the University of Lausanne. Through my training, I had the opportunity to work on different research topics, notably the school-to-work transition and the educational pathways of emerging adults. In addition, I have also worked as a counseling and guidance psychologist with young adults in pre-vocational and educational training. These experiences - both in research and practice - have naturally contributed to develop my sensitivity and interest in the study of vulnerable or marginalized populations who may face obstacles in their efforts to access qualifying training and decent working conditions.
|
Milena Sampaio Greve After ten years of experience in psychotherapy and career counseling, both in a private office and educational institution in Brazil, I continue my trajectory through the continuous relationship between practice and research, engaging in the PhD and working as research and teaching assistant in CePCO-UNIL. I hold a Master in Psychology from the University of São Paulo- Brazil where I studied the career construction of young adults in São Paulo. Under the direction of Prof. Koorosh Massoudi at University of Lausanne and the co-direction of Prof. Marcelo Ribeiro from University of São Paulo, I develop my thesis about the access to decent work of young people who face difficulties in their transition from school to work and the possible contribution of career counseling in group to that process. My research contexts are Switzerland and Brazil. I am interested in research about decent work, decent education, social constructionism, Psychology of Working Theory, critical consciousness, and career counseling interventions.

Sabrina Tacchini After several years as a job counselor, I chose to return to the University of Lausanne to work as an assistant and PhD student. Taking into account planetary boundaries and the important question of the living in our professional choices and ecological transition towards a more sustainable future will be the main theme of my thesis project. Indeed, I would like to understand these new ecological professional reconversions in order to deepen the possibilities of interventions in counseling and vocational guidance. I am also interested as a practitioner in ecological suffering, mindfulness, positive psychology, and individual and collective resilience.

Stéphane Bonzon Holder of a Master degree in vocational and counseling psychology from the University of Lausanne and a Master degree in career management from the University of Geneva, I am interested in career development in the context of digital transformation, uncertainty and search for meaning. I am particularly interested in effectuation, which makes possible to act and create value in uncertainty, similar to what entrepreneurs do by transforming the environment. I write and communicate about its contributions, especially in the field of vocational and career psychology. I have been working for the State of Vaud since 2011, where I successively helped adolescents and then young adults in their career development and construction, as well as with their professional integration.

Laurence Fedrigo I own a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at the University of Lausanne (with a one-semester exchange at University Laval, Québec). My master’s thesis focused on the adequate evaluation of refugees’ academic and professional aptitudes during the counseling process. I later worked in the promotion of foreigners’ professional integration and fight against racism. After these experiences, I wanted to deepen my understanding of the integration process of newcomers in Switzerland in order to propose a new career counseling intervention. As a result, I am now a PhD candidate in Counseling Psychology and a teaching assistant at the CePCO. My research interests also encompass the relationship to work and access to decent work. |
Philippe Handschin After obtaining a Master of Science degree in cognitive and clinical psychology and working in the field of professional reintegration with refugees, I am now completing a doctoral thesis on the professional integration of young adults without training and in a situation of rupture with the professional world.

As of 2017, I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lausanne on the career transitions and pathways project within the NCCR LIVES. |
Robin Zufferey After a Master’s degree in Career Counseling Psychology at the University of Lausanne and a professional experience as a career counselor, I worked as a research assistant at the University of Lausanne on a project regarding work engagement. Because of my strong interest in research, I started a doctoral thesis and became a teaching assistant. My research interests are the relationship to work, the meaning of work, and career shocks. Parallel to these activities, I am conducting a research project on the vocational certification of adults in the Lausanne area. |
