Abstract

This research was carried out with the aim of presenting a qualitative model based on the database theory to design a model for post-career pathology. The sampling method is snowball sampling. In the initial stage, the analysis of the data obtained from the review of the background and literature of the subject, as well as interviews with 19 career counseling specialists who are aware of post-career injuries, have been done. Then, based on the database approach, a qualitative model of occupational injuries was designed. The results showed that the subsequent injuries of the career path include three main categories of sustainable growth of the career path, self and scenarios of the career path. The category of sustainable career path growth includes five subcategories of auto-creative capital, career path adaptability, health, happiness and usefulness. The main category itself includes the subcategory of identity. The main category of career path scenario includes three subcategories of agency, reflection on life project and meaning. According to the findings of this research, it can be concluded that the nature of career path injuries in the post-modern world is different from the injuries of the modern and even traditional world. Paying attention to harmful factors can prevent injuries in the career path and help guide and advance the career path.
