“…This is an expected result considering similarities in occupational engagement among various cultures (e.g. Arabic, Khasawneh, 2011; Spanish and Chinese, Vuyk et al., 2019). University students typically engage in occupational behaviours, such as internships and field research, as well as attending classes.…”

“…Jung (2011) assessed the validity and reliability of the Korean version of Cox's 14-item scale (Kim et al, 2018). Vuyk et al (2019) created Spanish and Chinese versions of the 9-item OES-S. The OES-S, thus, has been able to translated for use in collectivistic cultures.…”

“…The original OES-S was developed in an individualistic culture, although validity and reliability studies have been conducted in collectivistic cultures (Vuyk et al., 2019). Turkey involves both individualistic and collectivistic culture characteristics (Yıldırım & Barnett, 2017), although it was defined as a collectivistic culture in Hofstede’s (2001) study.…”

“…To measure occupational engagement levels of university students, the 14-item, unidimensional Occupational Engagement Scale -Student (OES-S) was developed by Cox (2008) and later revised to include 9 items (Cox et al, 2015). Vuyk et al (2019) tested the psychometric properties of the revised 9item version of OES-S in Paraguay and Chinese cultures. A confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated an acceptable fit for the 9 items.…”

Young adults pursue a career path in the face of many barriers, such as financial worries and parental influences. Engaging in occupational behaviours enables them to know themselves and the world better, and also provides them with opportunities to have experiences that help them decide on a career. This study adapts the Occupational Engagement Scale-Student (OES-S) into Turkish and examines its psychometric properties in a university sample. Participants consisted of 304 university students (149 females and 155 males). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original unidimensional factor structure of the OES-S. For discriminant and concurrent validity, significant relationships were found between the OES-S and subscales of the Career Decision Scale. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha) was .80. The results indicated that the OES-S could be considered as a valid and reliable tool to measure the occupational engagement of young adults.

The aim of this study was to validate the Turkish version of the Career Exploration and Decision Self‐Efficacy (CEDSE) Scale with Turkish undergraduate students. Results show that with the sample of Turkish undergraduate students (N = 202) the Turkish CEDSE Scale had a two‐factor structure with 12 items. The CEDSE Scale's two‐factor structure was validated by a sample of Turkish undergraduate students (N = 255). Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis verified the measurement invariance of the CEDSE Scale across gender groups. The Turkish CEDSE Scale produced positive relations with measures of vocational outcome expectations and career decidedness as well as strong positive correlations with career decision‐making self‐efficacy. The CEDSE Scale scores produced statistically significant beta coefficients predicting vocational outcome expectations and career decidedness. The results support the concurrent and criterion‐related validity of the CEDSE Scale. Calculations of Cronbach's alpha, McDonald's omega, and stability coefficients yielded evidence for the CEDSE Scale's reliability.

Is intuition better than rationality? The effect of pre-decisional strategy on occupational interest forecasting in Chinese college students

PurposePrevious studies showed that the unconscious-intuitive strategy resulted in a better choice for it is more predictive of actual interest. This benefit may be influenced by occupational engagement, for the dual process of career decisions takes it as a tool for multidevelopment and optimal adjustment. Thus, we replicated (and extended) the study of Motl et al. (2018) through two experiments to identify the role of three pre-decisional strategies and then explore the combined effects of occupational engagement and these strategies. The purpose of this paper is to address these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe authors replicated (and extended) the study of Motl et al. (2018) through two experiments. First, both studies adopted generalized linear mixed-effects models for statistical analyses to distinguish random and fixed effects. Second, Study 2 used a computer-based process-tracing program called “Mouselab” to explore the effect of the pre-decisional strategy self-generated on participants' interest appraisals over time.FindingsStudy 1 found that engagement helped promote participants' interest experience when decisions as usual and the intuitive strategy did not produce optimal choices. Further, people with more prior knowledge about situations no longer achieved as many benefits from their allocated strategy (i.e. rational strategy) as those with less. Study 2 failed to find adequate advantages of the intuitive strategy. Specifically, people with less search depth (the heuristic-intuitive strategy) were more interested in their choices. Nevertheless, when the strategy was manipulated as variability of search (VS), it only found the promotion of engagement, but it neither found the interaction between engagement and strategy nor did strategy itself.Originality/valueThe present paper provides mixed support for adaptive career decision-making. Career counselors can use occupational engagement levels as a reference for pre-decisional strategy selection and coach clients to adopt a proper decision-making process/method to make interest forecasts.
