University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies Releases Whitepaper on Career Perceptions and Emotional States of American Workers

Educator/employer collaborations offer potential to increase job satisfaction

University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies announces the release of a whitepaper examining the correlation between career perceptions and emotional states of Americans related to employee engagement: “Career Perception of American Workers and Their Emotional States.”

Drawing upon data from the 2021 University of Phoenix Career InstituteCareer Optimism Index study, Louise Underdahl, Ph.D., a Research Fellow with the Center for Educational and Instructional Technology (CEITR) at the University of Phoenix, provides in this whitepaper the magnitude and ramifications of employee engagement on local, national, and global economies, and demonstrates how educator/employer partnerships can utilize workforce dynamics to inform self-efficacy and career growth.

“The Career Optimism Index data point that 43% of workers either “hate” or “don’t think too much of” their jobs should be a wakeup call for employers, especially in the time of the Great Reshuffle,” states Underdahl. “Educator and employer partnerships can break down barriers to career advancement, help American workers reconnect with their careers, and reclaim that 43%.”

Underdahl completed her doctorate with the University of Southern California. She is currently a reviewer at the College of Doctoral Studies’ Dissertation to Publication Workshop, and has been co-leader of College of Doctoral Studies Alumni Special Interest Group since 2019. Underdahl is a recipient of multiple faculty recognition awards at University of Phoenix including a 2021 recipient of the Phoenix 500, the Distinguished Service Award for Scholarly Leadership in 2019, and the Faculty Excellence Award in 2018.

Underdahl has been teaching at the University since 2004.

The full whitepaper is available at the Career Institute webpage or as a direct link here.
