Career success has different meanings for each level and condition of the person. Careers have a range at every level of life, from children, and adolescents, to adults. However, none of the studies reveals the meaning of career success at the adolescent level, such as students. Therefore, this study aims to understand the concept of career success from a student's perspective. What is the meaning of career success, and what are the characteristics of students who are successful in their careers. This research uses a qualitative case study design approach. Data were collected by face-to-face semi-structural interview technique. Participants in this study were 20 high school students (10 boys and 10 girls). Data were analyzed by the narrative analysis method. The study's results revealed that students gave meaning to career success, including objective and subjective, such as the ability to achieve self-efficacy, self-happiness and make others happy. Students' career success characteristics are grouped with abilities in knowledge, attitudes and skills. The research findings can be used to develop career success in adolescents, develop career success instruments and the purpose of career guidance and counselling services.
Career success is an individual's ability to achieve self and work success. There are various instruments to determine individual career success. However, there has not been a career success instrument specifically developed for adolescents. This study aims to develop and validate The Adolescent Career Success Instrument (ACSI) using the Rasch model analysis. Participants in this study consisted of 3 guidance and counseling experts for the constructed test, 4 students for the readability test, and 106 students (33 male students and 73 female students) from high school for the empirical test. ACSI reliability test results show that the item reliability is 0.90 in a good category, while the personal reliability is 0.85 in a good category. Cronbach's alpha value is 0.91 in the very good category. The results of the ACSI analysis using the Rasch model showed that 49 reliable items could be used to measure adolescent career success.
Hope is one of the dimensions of character strength needed in individual personal development. Various instruments continue to be developed to measure a particular hope. The hope scale instrument must be adapted to each culture and country. However, in Indonesia, there has been no research on the development and validation of the hope scale. This study aimed to develop and validate the Indonesian Hope Scale (IHS) using Rasch's model analysis. Participants in this study are 323 students (99 male and 224 female) aged 13-25 years. This study consisted of junior high school students, senior high school students, college students, and postgraduate students. The results showed that Cronbach's Alpha was in the excellent category with a value is 0.82. The item reliability value is 0.99, and the person reliability value is 0.82. The results of Rasch's analysis show that the psychometric characteristics of the 20 items from the Indonesia Hope Scale can meet the requirements and can be used to measure expectations by professionals.
