In this study, the Career Adaptability and Optimism Scale (CAOS) was developed for the purpose of evaluating the career adaptability and optimism of the individuals who making the transition from school to work. The participants in this study consisted of three separate groups, totalling 577 individuals, whose responses who utilized for the for pilot, validity and reliability studies. The participants were senior students studying at state or private universities in 2009-2010 spring and 2010-2011 fall terms (N=281) as well as individuals who were recently graduated from different universities within the preceding 2 years (N= 296) but not working now. A uni-dimensional structure having a quite good adaptability index has been obtained regarding the 18 itemed CAOS during the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the validity studies. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of CAOS was .93 and test-retest reliability was .85. There is a meaningful relation r=, 60 (p<.01) between the Vocational Outcome Expectations Scale (VOES) of CAOS. These results have been assessed as the indicators that the scale is valid and reliable.
Özet
Bu çalışmada okuldan işe geçiş dönemindeki bireylerin kariyer uyumu ve iyimserliğini değerlendirmeye yönelik “Kariyer Uyumu ve İyimserliği Ölçeği (KUİÖ)” geliştirilmiştir. Ölçeğin pilot uygulaması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları üç farklı grupla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını 2009– 2010 bahar ve 2010-2011 güz döneminde devlet veya vakıf üniversitesine giden lisans son sınıf (N=281) öğrencileriyle, farklı üniversitelerdenyeni mezun ve bir ya da iki yıl önce mezun olmuş (N=296) fakat bir işte çalışmayan lisans mezunları olmak üzere toplam 577 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Geçerlik çalışmaları kapsamında yapılan açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre KUİÖ’ye ilişkin 18 maddelik, tek boyutlu ve oldukça iyi uyum indekslerine sahip bir yapı elde edilmiştir. KUİÖ’nün Cronbach alfa katsayısı .93 ve test–tekrar test güvenirliği ise .85 olarak bulunmuştur. KUİÖ ile Mesleki Sonuç Beklentisi Ölçeği (MSBÖ) arasında r=.60 (p<.01) anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunun göstergesi olarak yorumlanmıştır.
