“…In the pursuit of establishing CAAS as a globally applicable instrument, researchers have explored its reliability across diverse cultural contexts. Studies, for example, Porfeli and Savickas (2012) , Lee et al (2021) , conducted a cross-cultural study involving participants from different samples. The outcomes not only supported the reliability of CAAS across different cultures but also underscored its adaptability as a reliable measure in diverse socio-cultural settings.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Career Adapt-abilities Scale (CAAS) and analyze the relationships between sociodemographic variables and career adaptability using the MIMIC model with DIF.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, the CAAS, consisting of four sub-scales—concern, control, curiosity, and confidence—each comprising six items, was administered to 620 undergraduate students from 34 universities in Thailand. Among the participants, women constituted 66.77%, while men accounted for 32.58% (Mean Age = 20.33). To explore the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on specific CAAS item responses, a Multiple-Indicators, Multiple-Causes model with Differential Item Functioning (MIMIC-model with DIF) was employed.ResultsThe findings revealed robust internal consistency and reliability in the CAAS. Both the four-factor and second-order factor models exhibited excellent fit indices, emphasizing the significance of each item within the measure. Sociodemographic characteristics did not demonstrate a significant direct effect on the four CAAS subscales, it is worth noting the exception regarding paternal education. Paternal education was found to have a statistical significance impact on two specific CAAS items: “looking for opportunities to grow as a person” and “becoming curious about new opportunities.”ConclusionThese findings underscore the intricate influence of paternal education on specific aspects of career adaptability, suggesting that certain dimensions of career adaptability may be shaped by factors extending beyond the conventional sociodemographic variables examined in this study. Future research could delve deeper into the complex interplay of sociodemographic factors and individual attributes to provide a more holistic perspective on career adaptability in Thailand.

“…Career adaptability is important in the face of changing online learning systems to faceto-face learning systems. This variable is believed to be important in the formation of student achievement motivation, because its existence is proven to be able to increase the formation of positive responses in the face of various difficulties [29] environment, makes a person more open to new experiences and situations, more aware of the existence of his career, more successful and more satisfied than others [30]. Specifically, research has also proven that the better the career adaptability, the better one's motivation [31] especially the self-efficacy aspect of motivation [39] because of the existence of this aspect of motivation.…”

This research involves all students of Generation Z who study in West Kalimantan as a population. The questionnaire was designed in google-form and distributed using snowball sampling technique through WhatsApp, Telegram and Line social media, resulting in 6,721 responses. The selection process from the total responses decided 5,178 respondents were eligible and fit the research targets, while 1,543 others were dropped because some were studying outside West Kalimantan and some were still in high school. The age of the respondents spread from 19 to d. 23 years old and by gender, 1,890 of them were male and 3,288 were female. The campuses where they study are spread out at Tanjungpura University, Widya Dharma University, IKIP PGRI, Polnep, Panca Bhakti University, Kapuas Sintang University, Muhamadyah University and other campuses in West Kalimantan. The collected data was processed using WarpPls version 6. The results of data processing and testing stated that all research hypotheses were acceptable. Acceptance of the hypothesis is the basis for researchers to draw conclusions that emotional intelligence variables and career adaptability variables are positive and significant shapers for achievement motivation, emotional intelligence variables are positive and significant shapers for career adaptability, career adaptability variables are a partial mediation in the relationship between emotional intelligence and achievement motivation in generation Z students in West Kalimantan when facing face-to-face lectures after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…We chose the SPES because we wished to explore career adaptability's relations with students' self-perceptions of their employability. Similar to Lee et al (2020), who compared the CAAS across nations, the present study compared the measurement properties of the Indonesian version of the measures with an Australian sample. Comparing and contrasting measurement models across different cultures provides an additional source of evidence of validity.…”

“…A notable feature of the career adaptability literature is the availability of the CAAS in different nations and languages, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, including China (Hou et al, 2012), Korea (Tak, 2012), Taiwan (Tien et al, 2012), and the Philippines (Tolentino et al, 2013). More recently, researchers have compared the CAAS across nations, South Korea and Japan, and found acceptable measurement properties (Lee et al, 2020). The present research adds to the vocational psychology literature the first evidence of career adaptability's utility in another Asia Pacific nation, namely Indonesia.…”

There is emergent evidence of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale's utility in the Global South. The present research provides evidence about the measurement properties of a Bahasa Indonesia language version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale and comparator measures, the Career Futures Inventory-Revised and the Self-perceived Employability Scale, using a sample of students (N = 277) enrolled in Indonesian college degrees. Furthermore, for the purpose of cross-cultural comparisons, the measurement properties of the Indonesian version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale were compared with an independent dataset (N = 387) using an Australian English language version. The Indonesian version had acceptable measurement properties. Keywords College students • Career Adapt-Abilities Scale • Career adaptability RésuméMesures de l'adaptabilité et de l'employabilité de la carrière en indonésien Il existe des preuves émergentes de l'utilité de l'échelle d'adaptabilité de carrière dans les pays du Sud.
