This study aims to explore the trends in positive psychology-based career coaching through a scoping review of relevant topics and proposes desirable research directions. To achieve this goal, a scoping review was conducted using a six-step process outlined in the literature review method, selecting a final set of 12 articles from domestic academic papers and domestic theses until November 2023. All 12 selected articles utilized positive psychology's strengths discovery as a key component in career coaching programs and measured the effectiveness of these programs. Among them, 11 articles employed non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental designs, while one article utilized a single-group pre-post design. The majority of the studies (75%) focused on students, including elementary, middle, high school, and college students, with the remaining 17% dedicated to researching career interruptions in women. The most frequently measured dependent variables were self-efficacy (6 articles) and career maturity (5 articles). As a result of this research, three main recommendations are proposed. Firstly, the study suggests conducting diverse qualitative and quantitative research on positive psychology-based career coaching. Secondly, it recommends conducting research targeting participants at various life stages. Lastly, the study proposes exploring career coaching research that applies various concepts from positive psychology.
