the adult career concerns inventory: Development of a short form

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and test a short form of the Adult Career Concerns Inventory (ACCI; D. E. Super, A. S. Thompson, & R. H. Lindeman, 1988), a measure of career stage that is based on D. E. Super's (1990) theory of career development. Participants were 260 college students who completed surveys. Examination of Cronbach's alpha indicated adequate reliability for the ACCI—Short Form. The multitrait‐multimethod matrix was used to compare the short form method with the long form method across the 4 career stages. Results indicated adequate convergent validity.

40/1 - L’Inventaire des préoccupations de carrière : une mesure de l’adaptabilité à la carrière

“…Notons aussi que la version anglophone peut être administrée gratuitement sur Internet (Glavin, 2009). Enfin, une version brève réduite à 12 items a été développée récemment, mais n'est disponible qu'en langue anglaise (Perrone, Gordon, Fitch & Civiletto, 2003).…”

“…Cette adaptation a également été mise à l'épreuve et jugée adéquate pour la population française (Gelpe, 1996) administrée gratuitement sur Internet (Glavin, 2009). Enfin, une version brève réduite à 12 items a été développée récemment, mais n'est disponible qu'en langue anglaise (Perrone, Gordon, Fitch & Civiletto, 2003).…”

The Indirect Effect of Employee Entitlement: A Career Stage Perspective

“…The results from this cross-sectional design suggest that relationships among employee entitlement, organizational justice sub-scales, WE and CWB are not different across career stages. Although there is no single method consistently used for measuring career stage (Bilz, 2008;Hess & Jepsen, 2009;Levinson et al, 1998;Perrone et al, 2003), and the method used in this study may have insufficiently measured career stages accurately, the self-selection method in conjunction with the adult career concerns inventory to measure career stage in this study has been shown to be effective (Chaney, 2012;Pappas & Flaherty, 2006). The small sub sample in one of the four career stages (disengagement, N=64) raises concern as it may not be sufficiently large enough to provide meaningful analysis, and although this is also a limitation that must be taken into consideration, the primary groups of interest are exploration and establishment as they represent the two initial career stages and subsequent adjustment to the work environment.…”
