Using the hope-centered career inventory (HCCI)—Italian version with healthcare professionals

Abstract

To address twenty-first century challenges, Niles, Amundson, and Neault (2011) developed the Hope-Centered Model of Career Development (HCMCD) from which they derived the Hope-Centered Career Inventory (including domains of hope, selfreflection, self-clarity, visioning, goal setting/planning, implementing, and adapting). The current study tests the psychometric properties, structural, convergent, and discriminant validity of the Italian version of the HCCI. Confirmatory factor analyses in a sample of 536 healthcare professionals supported the validity of the measure among healthcare professional, confirmed the model of hope-centered career competencies, and reinforced the importance of hope for an effective career self-management in the current work context.

Developing Norms for the Hope-Action Inventory with a Substance Misuse Sample

“…The HAI has previously been assessed with samples of unemployed job seekers (Amundson et al, 2016;Clarke et al, 2016), individuals in career transition (Niles, Yoon, Balin, et al 2010), university students (Amundson et al, 2013;Yoon et al, 2015), healthcare professionals (Santilli et al, 2020), refugees (Yoon et al, 2019), and individuals with histories of problematic substance use (Currie et al, 2023). Previous research assessing the psychometric properties of the HAI, or its predecessors, have reported good model fit, adequate internal consistency reliability, and supportive evidence for construct validity, including once for problematic substance users (Currie et al,2023;Schreiber et al, 2013;Schindler et al, 2014;Yoon, 2017;Yoon et al, 2015;Yoon et al, 2020).…”

Using my career story to foster reflective capacity, hope, and narrative change

“…Reflection further involves individuals having the capacity to examine their thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, circumstances, and emerging self-concepts embedded within their unique life contexts (Niles, Amundson, & Neault, 2010). Regular engagement in self-reflection provides a solid foundation for and increases the probability that new information will be considered in subsequent career planning (Santilli et al, 2021).…”
