Gottfredson's theory deals with how individuals eliminate career options based on societal and self-imposed constraints (circumscription) and eventually compromise based on the reality of available opportunities.

Lent, Brown, and Hackett's Social Cognitive Career Theory

Its relevance in career planning lies in understanding how one's belief system influences their career trajectory.

Expectancy Theory suggests that individuals will behave based on the expected outcome and the value of that outcome to them.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
While not a career development theory per se, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs provides insights into human motivation which can extend to career aspirations.
