İşgücü piyasalarındaki son değişimler ve belirsizlikler, istihdam talebinin ve gerekliliklerinin ertelenmesine yol açmaktadır. Bu durum, üniversite öğrencileri arasında kariyer kaygısını önemli bir sorun haline getirmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Tsai ve arkadaşları (2017) tarafından geliştirilen Kariyer Kaygısı Ölçeği- KKÖ’nin (Career Anxiety Scale) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve geçerlik-güvenirlik açısından psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Türkçe KKÖ’nün formunun, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini değerlendirmek amacıyla dört farklı gruba (N = 619) uygulanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve psikolojik iyi oluş ile eşzamanlı geçerlik analizi ile test-tekrar test güvenirliği analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Dilsel eşdeğerlik ve ifadelerin açıklığı sağlandıktan sonra yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, ikinci düzey dört faktörlü yapının 356 lisans öğrencisinden elde edilen verilerle kabul edilebilir uyum indekslerine sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Korelasyon analizleri, KKÖ ve alt boyutlarının belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlükle pozitif, psikolojik iyi oluşla ise negatif yönde ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. İç tutarlılık katsayıları .70 eşik değerinin üzerinde bulunmuş, test-tekrar test korelasyon katsayısı ise .88 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, kadın üniversite öğrencilerinin hem toplam kariyer kaygısı hem de alt boyut puanlarının erkek öğrencilere kıyasla daha yüksek olduğu; buna karşın akademik alanlara göre toplam kariyer kaygısı ve alt boyut puanlarında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadığı gözlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu ve kariyerle ilişkili kaygıyı anlamaya yönelik gelecekteki araştırma ve müdahalelere sağlam bir temel sunduğunu göstermektedir.

Recent changes and uncertainty in labor markets delay the demand and requirements of employment. Thus, career anxiety has made an important issue among university students. The aim of this study was to adapt the Career Anxiety Scale (CAS), originally developed by Tsai et al. (2017), into Turkish and to investigate its psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability. The Turkish version of the CAS was administrated to four different groups (N= 619) to examine its validity and reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis, concurrent validity with intolerance to uncertainty and psychological well-being and test-retest reliability were conducted. After ensuring the linguistic equivalence and clarity, the results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the second-order four-factor structure had acceptable fit indices with the data of 356 undergraduate students. Correlation test results showed that the CAS and its subscales had positive relationships with intolerance to uncertainty, and negative relationships with psychological well-being. Internal consistency values were higher than .70 cutoff value and test-retest correlation coefficient was .88. In addition, it was observed that female university students scored higher than male students on both total career anxiety and its subscales, whereas no significant differences were found in total career anxiety or subscale scores across academic fields. The findings of this study indicate that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument, offering a foundation for future research and interventions focused on understanding career-related anxiety.
