When individuals seek career counseling, they have stories to tell about their working lives. The aim of career construction theory is to be comprehensive in encouraging employment counselors to listen for a client's career story from the perspectives of actor, agent, and author. Taking multiple perspectives on career stories enables counselors to offer clients a fitting intervention, whether it is vocational guidance for action, career education and coaching for agency, or career counseling to construct meaning.

Der Krankenhaus-Report, der jährlich als Buch und als Open-Access-Publikation erscheint, greift 2023 das Schwerpunktthema "Personal" auf. Nicht erst seit der Covid-19-Pandemie sind die Probleme der personellen Ausstattung und Personalverfügbarkeit im Krankenhaus, insbesondere in der Pflege, im Fokus der Diskussion. Der aktuelle Report analysiert die Ausgangslage und erörtert diverse Handlungsansätze mit Blick auf die Verbesserung der Personalsituation. Weiter diskutiert werden aber auch Fragen eines grundlegenden Reformbedarfs des Systems und der Finanzierung der stationären Versorgung, die auf der Agenda der aktuellen Gesundheitspolitik stehen.

With the lifting of most COVID infection control measures, the year 2022 offered citizens significantly more opportunities to engage in politics, after the previous two years had been characterized by far-reaching restrictions on public life. In addition, global political events such as Russia's attack on Ukraine and the protests against the authoritarian regime in Iran had a mobilizing effect on the German population, which is reflected in an increasing number of demonstrations compared to the previous year. The aim of the Weizenbaum Panel is to observe long-term developments in political participation and to analyze the digital transformation of civic action. The longitudinal study on political participation and communication, which has been conducted annually since 2019, looks at political participation and civic engagement in Germany. In addition to the changing role of digital media for people's political actions, this year's report investigates authoritarianism as a driver of anti-democratic participation, so-called "dark participation" on the internet (pp. 10-12), and the effects of social inequality on political participation (pp. 14-16). The annual Weizenbaum Report presents selected findings from the representative longitudinal survey, which was conducted for the fourth time from October to December 2022.
