The Bruce and Jane Walsh Grant in Memory of John Holland supports scientific, scholarly, or applied research and/or educational activities investigating how personality, culture, and environment influence work behavior and health (mental and physical).
John Holland was a renowned vocational and personality psychologist, and a pioneer in the field of vocational psychology. Holland’s Theory of Vocational Choice inspired the creation of the Holland Codes (otherwise known as Holland Occupational Themes, or RIASEC), which refer to the idea that careers and vocational choice can be based upon personality types. Each letter or code stands for a particular “type”: Realistic (doers), Investigative (thinkers), Artistic (creators), Social (helpers), Enterprising (persuaders), and Conventional (organizers).
