This study aims to carry out an initial evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Career Engagement Scale, first introduced by Hirschi et al. (2014), in order to assess the general extent to which individuals engage in different career behaviours. After translating and creating an Italian adaptation of the scale, an evaluation of its factorial structure at a confirmatory level and its internal consistency was performed. A sample, comprising 314 Italian university students and graduates, was involved and they completed an online questionnaire containing the Italian version of the Career Engagement Scale. The results confirm the monodimensional structure of Career Engagement, in line with existing literature, and report excellent internal consistency values. Whilst encouraging, the results need to be analysed in further depth, with additional validation analyses with more heterogeneous and larger samples. Nevertheless, this initial evaluation suggests that this scale may be an agile tool in Italian research contexts (e.g. for evaluating the general impact of career behaviours on career outcomes) and practical settings (such as career counselling and development programmes).
Questo studio intende svolgere una valutazione iniziale delle caratteristiche psicometriche di una versione Italiana della scala di Career Engagement, originariamente introdotta da Hirschi et al. (2014), per misurare il grado generale con cui le persone si impegnano in diversi comportamenti per lo sviluppo di carriera. Dopo aver tradotto e realizzato un adattamento italiano della scala, è stata effettuata una valutazione della sua struttura fattoriale a livello confermativo e della sua consistenza interna. I partecipanti, 314 studenti universitari e laureati Italiani, hanno completato un questionario online contenente la versione italiana della scala di Career Engagement. I risultati confermano la struttura monodimensionale del costrutto, in linea con la letteratura esistente, ed evidenziano ottimi indici di consistenza interna. Seppur incoraggianti, i risultati necessitano di essere approfonditi ulteriormente con altre analisi di validità, coinvolgendo campioni più eterogenei e ampi. Tuttavia, queste evidenze iniziali suggeriscono l’utilizzo della scala come strumento agile da poter utilizzare in contesti di ricerca (e.g. per valutare l’impatto generale dei comportamenti di carriera su misure di esito) e di intervento (e.g. counseling di carriera e attività di orientamento al lavoro).

Abstract
This study aims to carry out an initial evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Career Engagement Scale, first introduced by Hirschi et al. (2014), in order to assess the general extent to which individuals engage in different career behaviours. After translating and creating an Italian adaptation of the scale, an evaluation of its factorial structure at a confirmatory level and its internal consistency was performed. A sample, comprising 314 Italian university students and graduates, was involved and they completed an online questionnaire containing the Italian version of the Career Engagement Scale. The results confirm the monodimensional structure of Career Engagement, in line with existing literature, and report excellent internal consistency values. Whilst encouraging, the results need to be analysed in further depth, with additional validation analyses with more heterogeneous and larger samples. Nevertheless, this initial evaluation suggests that this scale may be an agile tool in Italian research contexts (e.g. for evaluating the general impact of career behaviours on career outcomes) and practical settings (such as career counselling and development programmes).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
