Abstract
The findings in the literature on
calling are contradictory, and some
details are poorly understood. To
clarify contested discourses, this
paper seeks insight into the process
of comprehending and living a
calling at work and clarifies the
conceptualizations, states, and
schools of calling. The authors
conducted a systematic literature
review and synthesized empirical
studies on calling guided by evidence-
based responses to the questions:
‘How do people discover and
embrace their calling?’ and ‘How
do they experience living their calling
at work?’. The general model
of occupational calling developed
through the synthesis demonstrates
the role of the individual and context
in conceptualizing and living
a calling and anchors on work as
calling and career development
theories.
