Deutschsprachige Version

Das Career Futures Inventory (CFI; Rottingaus, Day & Borgen, 2005 ) erfasst die drei laufbahnbezogenen Zukunftsfaktoren career adaptability (Berufliche Anpassungsfähigkeit), career optimism (Beruflicher Optimismus) und knowledge of job market (Arbeitsmarktwissen). Die Ziele dieser Studie waren (a) eine deutschsprachige Version des CFIs zu konstruieren und (b) an zwei Stichproben mit Erwerbstätigen mittels (c) unterschiedlicher Indikatoren des Berufserfolgs und anhand von Persönlichkeitseigenschaften zu validieren. Es konnte in beiden Stichproben (N1 = 153; N2 = 110) die 3-faktorielle Struktur des CFIs nachgewiesen werden. Zudem konnten Annahmen zur konvergenten und diskriminanten Validität in beiden Stichproben bestätigt werden, da die CFI-Faktoren in erwarteter Richtung mit Berufserfolg (z. B. Beförderungen, Karrierezufriedenheit) bzw. Persönlichkeitseigenschaften (d. h. Big Five) korrelierten bzw. nicht korrelierten. Eine Analyse der inkrementellen Validität zeigte, dass Arbeitsmarktwissen zusätzliche Varianz beim Gehalt über Kontrollvariablen und Persönlichkeit hinaus erklärte. Hinsichtlich Karrierezufriedenheit war dies für beruflichen Optimismus der Fall. Diese Validierungsstudie ermöglicht den Einsatz des CFIs im deutschsprachigen Raum.

Abstract Background University postgraduates’ mobility towards, and outside the EU is continuously increasing, creating a competitive context in which maintaining a high life satisfaction (LS) is a public health challenge. However, the relationship between LS and its determinants among this population are under-documented. Our aims were to measure LS indicators of mobile postgraduates (Intra EU: Who pursue part of their studies in Europe; Outside EU: Who study outside of Europe) versus non-mobile (pursue their studies in Luxembourg), and to analyze the associations between LS and career attitudes, socioeconomic characteristics, and health-related factors for each group. Method Six hundred and sixty-four (644) students obtained financial aid from the Luxembourgish government independent of their family’s socioeconomic situation. Contacted by post, they completed an online questionnaire. Analyses included a multiple linear regression model in which only significant relationships (p < 0.05) were used. Results Three groups were created: Mobile intra EU (n = 381), mobile outside EU (n = 43) and non-mobile (n = 66) postgraduates. Health satisfaction was positively linked to LS, in all groups. Among the mobile outside EU group, majority (63.2%) were men and 57.9% did not live alone - health was the only determinant which contributed to their LS. Among the mobile intra EU, majority (57.8%) were women, and 64.3% not living alone. Autonomy and career adaptability attitudes were positively associated with their LS (b: 0.210 and 0.119, respectively), whereas the worry factor was negatively (b: − 0.153 and -0.159) associated. The non-mobile, were the oldest of the three groups. Majority (51.6%) were women, and 93.7% did not live alone. Career optimism and planning attitudes were positively correlated to their LS (regression parameter estimates (b: 0.400 and 0.212, respectively). Conclusions Attention should be devoted to the LS of local and cosmopolitan students, as it seems to be a relevant health indicator. Overall, the farther the mobility was, the higher the postgraduates’ general LS (8.5/10) was; this indicator was higher than the LS indicator for the age group 25–34 years 7.53/10 (EU-28, in 2013). University’ services could promote the development of career projects and the promotion of health to enhance postgraduates’ LS. University policy makers need to ensure this for all students.

Career Optimism

This study aims to investigate the effects of mentoring functions on undergraduate student’s career adaptabilities and career self-efficacy levels and the mediating role of career optimism. It is suggested in the literature that some factors stimulate student’s career adaptability levels. Therefore, mentoring functions, career optimism and career self-efficacy are considered as predictors of career adaptabilities within the scope of the study. Accordingly, data which are collected by the survey method from 311 undergraduate students having an education on different field such as business administration, international trade and logistics, public management and labor economics are analyzed by using the structural equation modeling. The results of the study indicate that mentoring functions, which is labeled as role modeling, have significant effects on student’s career adaptability, career optimism and career self-efficacy levels. However, it has been observed that career optimism has a significant effect on career self-efficacy and career adaptabilities. On the other hand, it is seen that career optimism has a fully mediating role between the role modeling and career adaptabilities. In addition, career optimism has a fully mediating role between role modeling and career self-efficacy.

The Impact

Purpose This study sought to determine the contribution of personal factors towards career adaptability among fresh graduates who had been employed for less than two years. This cohort is considered as entry-level employees in organisations. Several dimensions of personal factors focused on the study were self-esteem, conscientiousness, spiritual intelligence and social support. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey. The study sample comprised fresh graduate employees (n=423) from four Malaysian public universities. Findings The regression model fitted the data; the personal factors significantly predicted fresh graduates’ career adaptability, F(4, 418) = 31.982, p < 0.001. Conscientiousness showed highest contribution compared to other variables, with social support being the lowest. Research limitations/implications Owing to challenges faced by fresh graduates as entry-level employees, continuous career adaptation in the working environment is crucial to achieving satisfaction and success in life. All stakeholders, especially in higher education institutions, play an important role in inculcating the requisite personal traits in undergraduates to enhance their career adaptability upon joining the job market. Originality/value This study was conducted with fresh graduates as entry-level employees in Malaysia. It is hoped that the findings of the study would provide a better understanding of the impact of personal factors on career adaptability of fresh graduates in Malaysia, so that the stakeholders involved could act accordingly to help fresh graduates enter the job market with the confidence to adapt to changes at the workplace.

The Relationship

The present study examines the antecedents of the career adaptability of people from a refugee background. Drawing on career construction theory, it specifically examines whether openness to experience fosters career adaptability through enhancing career optimism. In addition, it examines whether family social support moderates the relationship between openness to experience and career optimism, and moderates the mediated relationship between openness to experience and career adaptability through career optimism. Analysis of three waves of data from people from a refugee background seeking employment in metropolitan Australia found support for the hypothesized relationships. In particular, career optimism was found to fully mediate the relationship between openness to experience and career adaptability. In addition, family social support was found to substitute for low levels of openness to experience.

Black men currently significantly lag other groups in their participation in high status occupations. There have been several studies to highlight the challenges of Black people in the workplace but there is a lack of research that assess how college men think about their career futures (Barrett, 2004; Byars-Winston, 2010; Hoffman, Llagas, & Snyder, 2003). The current study aims to explore what Black college men believe about their career potential postgraduation during a critical time in the development of their careers. The constructs career adaptability, career decision self-efficacy, career optimism, and the impostor phenomenon will be used to identify strengths and internal barriers that both positively and negatively influence the psychology of Black men in relation to their career motivations, aspirations, and their confidence in their ability to successfully navigate the career landscape. Cluster analysis was used to identify groups of participants based upon the constructs measured and demographic variables. A six-cluster solution was identified in the sample that represented distinct profiles of career readiness. The clusters were labeled 'Impostor with low optimism and career agency', 'Highly prepared impostor', 'Comfortable', 'Not prepared', 'Very comfortable and highly prepared', 'Impostor'. Black Racial Identity measures suggest that positive esteem held for Black people corelates with high career preparedness and lower distress. The results from this study provides information useful for vocational practioners and university administrators who support the career development needs of Black college men.

Deutschsprachige Version

Im letzten Jahrzehnt wurden in lexikalischen Untersuchungen über diverse Sprachen und Kulturen hinweg sechs grundlegende Persönlichkeitseigenschaften identifiziert, welche im HEXACO-Modell der Persönlichkeit abgebildet werden. Die vorliegende Untersuchung behandelt eine umfangreiche psychometrische Evaluation der deutschen Version des 60-Item HEXACO-Persönlichkeitsinventars. Die sechsfaktorielle Struktur wurde anhand einer großen Stichprobe (N = 3240) bestätigt. Die resultierenden Faktoren verfügten über zufriedenstellende Reliabilitäten und waren praktisch unkorreliert. Überdies konnte Messinvarianz über das Geschlecht belegt werden. Anhand einer weiteren Stichprobe (N = 1012) wurde gezeigt, dass die 60-Item Version zu keinem bedeutsamen Informationsverlust gegenüber der 96-Item Version führt. Die Bestimmung von Korrelationen zu den Big-Five Persönlichkeitsfaktoren mittels einer dritten Stichprobe (N = 235) erbrachte durchweg erwartungskonforme Ergebnisse. Letztlich konnten anhand einer vierten Stichprobe (N = 31) hohe Retest-Reliabilitäten über einen Zeitraum von 7 Monaten belegt werden. Somit eignet sich die deutschsprachige Version des HEXACO-60 Persönlichkeitsinventars zur reliablen, validen und verhältnismäßig ökonomischen Erfassung der sechs Faktoren des HEXACO-Modells der Persönlichkeit.
