Abstract
The school-to-work transition is a major challenge for young individuals (Schoon & Silbereisen, 2009). The present paper offers a simplistic view through a systematic literature review of the personal resources that determine psychological well-being during the school-to-work transition as well as the environmental resources that moderate this relationship. The review was conducted using the theoretical background of the Demands-Resources model (Baker & Demerouti, 2017), the Person-Environment fit (Eccles et al., 1993; Eccles & Roeser, 2009; Swanson & Fouad, 1999), and the Conservation of Resources theory (Hobfoll, 2001). In the review, 14 articles were included for the analysis. In this study, evidence was found for several personal resources determining well-being as well as several environmental resources that moderate this relationship. It is concluded that during the school-to-work transition, individuals need several personal resources such as psychological and career resources to master their environment during their transition. Support from family, friends, and institutions improves the chances of a better adjustment and a better P-E fit following a school-to-work transition. A lack of resources is detrimental to an individual’s well-being. Several other implications and future implications are discussed in the paper.
