Vocation has been studied from perspectives such as trait-factor, differential psychology, and psychometrics. These perspectives have assumed it to be the precursor of a unique and definitive career choice, resulting from matching personal characteristics with the requirements of a job. Vocation has also been conceptualized as the product of evolutionary stages, dependent on maturational processes. However, the changing conditions of the contemporary world of work make it necessary to reconsider vocationality from a dynamic perspective that transcends the exclusively psychometric view. This article proposes an alternative approach to vocation, based on the processes of identity construction propose by cultural psychology. Thus, vocation is assumed as a process of a narrative nature, in constant formation, based on the symbolic resources with which people interact. Vocationality emerges as a historical, situated, and distributed phenomenon, marked by occupational and educational experiences, as well as by interactive experiences with significant others.

La vocación ha sido estudiada desde perspectivas como las de rasgo-factor, la psicología diferencial y la psicometría. Estas perspectivas la han asumido como el precursor de una elección de carrera única y definitiva, resultante de alinear características personales con los requerimientos propios de un puesto de trabajo; o como el producto de etapas evolutivas, dependientes de procesos madurativos. No obstante, las condiciones cambiantes del mundo laboral contemporáneo obligan a reconsiderar la vocacionalidad desde una perspectiva dinámica que transcienda la mirada exclusivamente psicométrica. El presente artículo propone una aproximación alternativa de la vocación, sustentada en los procesos de construcción identitaria planteados desde la psicología cultural. Así, la vocación se asume como un proceso de naturaleza narrativa, en constante formación, fundado en los recursos simbólicos con los que interactúan las personas. La vocacionalidad emerge como un fenómeno histórico, situado y distribuido, marcado tanto por experiencias ocupacionales y educativas, como por vivencias interactivas con otros significativos.
