Abstract

The aim of this paper is to evaluate how different perceptions about that occupational call can impact one’s personal and professional lives and also its psychological health, specifically on the Brazilian socioeconomic context. The sample was divided into three groups: the ones who have an occupational calling and respond to it, the ones who have an unanswered calling and others who doesn’t have an occupational calling. A survey was answered by a sample of 274 participants. Data was analyzed on ANOVA and then a Duncan test was made to put in evidence which groups difference themselves. Part of the results were considered consistent according to the previous Calling literature and the Self-determination theory. However, differently from studies taken place in other contexts, our results point that there were no meaningful differences between the groups which have an unanswered calling and the ones which have no calling at all. The main contribution of this article it to explore a singular context among the existent literature
