Zusammenfassung
The present study explores what mechanism might be responsible for the reported link between
presence of a calling in one’s career and life satisfaction. It is proposed that vocational identity
achievement acts as one important mediator of this relation and that the effects can be observed
even when controlling for core self-evaluations (CSEs). The study used a short-term longitudinal
design based on a sample of 269 German college students from different majors. The results confirmed
the mediation model, with calling predicting vocational identity achievement 6 months later
and identity serving as a stronger predictor of life satisfaction, all controlling for CSEs. However,
contrary to previous research, presence of calling was not directly related to life satisfaction and
even showed a negative relation when vocational identity achievement was controlled. The results
are interpreted to suggest a multifaceted relation between calling and life satisfaction.
