This study evaluates the empirical applicability of the career construction model of adaptation (CCMA) by collecting evidence about the validity of the Student Career Construction Inventory (SCCI) from a sample of Turkish high school students and examining the relations between adaptive readiness, adaptability resources, adapting responses, and adaptation results. To test the model, we conducted two studies with samples of high school students in Ankara, Turkey ( n 1 = 251; n 2 = 694). In the first study, the SCCI was translated into Turkish and psychometric properties of the inventory were assessed. To validate the four-factor structure of the SCCI Turkish High School Form, two different levels of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to 251 participants. The results of CFA demonstrated that the data for the SCCI Turkish high school sample fit the theoretical model very well. The internal consistency of the SCCI was determined as 0.72 for crystallizing, 0.75 for exploring, 0.85 for deciding, 0.73 for preparing, and 0.90 for the total. In the second study, the CCMA, consisting of four dimensions (adaptive readiness, adaptability resources, adapting responses, and adaptation results), was empirically tested by using the SCCI, which had been tested for validity in the first study. The results of serial mediation analysis supported the CCMA, indicating that adaptive readiness indirectly influenced adaptability resources, adapting responses, and adaptation results.
In the 21st century, young adult people who are prepared for the world of work are expected to be individuals who have the responsibility to manage their careers and have career adaptability skills. In this regard, it seems useful to understand the factors that may affect career adaptability. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the happiness, social support, and future time orientation can predict career adaptability of young adults. The participants consisted of 525 students (389 female and 136 male) who were enrolled at different faculties of a university in Ankara, Turkey. The instruments that were used in the study were the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire–Short Form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Attitudes Toward the Future Scale, and a Personal Information Form prepared by the researchers. The results showed that happiness, perceived social support, positive attitude toward the future, and planned attitude toward the future were significantly positively related to career adaptability. These results indicated that individuals with a high level of happiness and positive and planned attitudes toward the future, and those who receive positive social support from their social contacts such as parents, friends, and significant others, are more career adaptive. The results were discussed in the context of the relevant literature.
The literature contains quite a few theoretical and case study articles with respect to the development and use of solution-focused brief therapy. However, very few of these studies focus on the effects of using solution-focused therapy principles and techniques in career counselling. This study is aimed to examine the effect of a five-session solutionfocused brief career counselling on reducing a university student's career indecision. A university student who had a career indecision problem participated in the research. The career counselling process was assessed by using pre-to post-test result changes of the counselee. In order to measure the career indecision level of the counselee, Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire was used. The Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire was administrated before the beginning of the first session and after the termination session as a pre-and post-test. At the end of the five-session solution-focused brief career counselling process, the results demonstrated that the client's career decision-making difficulty level was reduced. The findings of the study were discussed based on the results of the research in the relevant literature.
Bu araştırmanın temel amacı Ergen-Ebeveyn Kariyer Uyumu Ölçeği'nin (Sawitri vd., 2012) geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin Türkiye'deki ergen öğrenciler üzerinde incelenmesidir. İlk olarak ölçeği oluşturan maddeler Türkçeye uyarlanmıştır. Türkçeye uyarlanan maddeler psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik, ölçme ve değerlendirme ve Türkçe alanlarından uzmanlar tarafından incelenmiş, alınan dönütler kapsamında gerekli düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin Türkçe formu Ankara il merkezinde üçü lise, üçü ortaokul düzeyinde olmak üzere altı farklı okulda öğrenim görmekte olan toplam 494 ergen öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğine kanıt sağlamak amacıyla doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Yapılan birinci ve ikinci düzey DFA sonuçları birlikte değerlendirildiğinde; ölçeğin orijinal formunda yer alan iki faktörlü yapısının araştırmanın çalışma grubu olan Türk ergen öğrencilerde de desteklendiği görülmüştür. Ölçeğin ölçüt geçerliğine kanıt sağlamak amacıyla Kariyer Seçiminde Aile Etkisi Ölçeği ile ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliği, Cronbach Alpha katsayısı ile iç tutarlılık, test-tekrar test tekniği ile de kararlılık bağlamında incelenmiştir. Yapılan inceleme sonucunda Cronbach Alpha katsayısı değerleri tamamlayıcı uyum alt boyutu için .77, benzerlik uyumu alt boyutu için .73, ölçeğin bütünü için ise .82 olarak bulunmuştur. Test-tekrar test güvenirlikleri ise tamamlayıcı uyum alt boyutu için .84, benzerlik uyumu alt boyutu için .79, ölçeğin bütünü için ise .89 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde Ergen-Ebeveyn Kariyer Uyumu Ölçeği'nin ebeveynler ile onların ergen çocuklarının kariyer beklentileri arasındaki uyumu ölçen 11 maddeden ve tamamlayıcı uyum ve benzerlik uyumu olmak üzere iki alt faktörden oluşan, teorik ve uygulamalı araştırmalarda kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.
