Reconsidering the Support for Holland's Congruence--Achievement Hypothesis.

Schwartz, Robert H.; And Others

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v33 n4 p425-28 Oct 1986

Questions the support of John Holland's hypothesis that person-environment congruence relates positively to achievement. Evidence is provided in a study that Holland claims supports his hypothesis, in Holland's (1985) book, in Holland's (1968) data, and in the authors' finding of a negative relationship between the annual incomes and conventional scores of accountants.
