Kariyer Geleceği Ölçeği (KARGEL):Türk Örneklemi İçin Psikometrik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Year 2012, Volume: 4 Issue: 38, 169 - 179, 29.09.2012

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireylerde pozitif kariyer planlama tutumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Rottinghaus, Day ve Borgen (2005) tarafından geliştirilen Kariyer Geleceği Ölçeği (KARGEL)’nin Türk örneklemindeki psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. Ölçek, kariyer uyumluluğu (KU), kariyer iyimserliği (Kİ) ve iş piyasalarına ilişkin algılanan bilgi (AB) adı verilen üç alt boyuttan ve 25 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmaya Ankara Üniversitesi (n=384, % 69.19) ve Samsun Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi’nde (n=171; % 30.81) lisans eğitimi alan 555 öğrenci katılmıştır. Ölçeğin psikometrik özelliklerini inceleyebilmek amacıyla iç tutarlılık, madde ve faktör analizi ile ölçüt bağıntı geçerliği çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık analizleri sonucu elde edilen değerler KU için 0.83 Kİ için 0.82, AB alt boyutu için 0.62 ve toplamda 0.88 bulunarak ölçeğin yeterli güvenirlik düzeylerine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Yapılan madde ayırt ediciliği ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, ölçeğin orijinal üç faktörlü yapısının Türk örneklemi için uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Bunlara ek olarak ölçeğin geçerlik düzeyini kontrol etmek amacıyla yapılan ölçüt bağıntı korelasyon analizleri, ölçeğin çalışma grubunda yeterli değerlere sahip olduğunu ve pozitif kariyer planlama tutumlarının, aktif ve olumlu başa çıkma becerileri ile pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu anlamda ölçeğin Türk örneklem grubu için kariyer psikolojik danışmanlığı uygulamalarında kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu düşünülmektedir.
