Abstract

Bu araştırma, ihtiyaç algısı ve ihtiyaç tatmini kavramları üzerinden Kariyer Yenilenme Gücü (KYG) Modeli’ni geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Model, hayatta kalma, sevgi ve aidiyet, güç, özgürlük ve eğlence ihtiyaçlarının kariyer geçişlerini yönlendiren temel ihtiyaçlar olduğunu öne sürmektedir. Modelin yapısını ve işleyişini incelemek için iki nitel çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ardından, Kariyer Yenilenme Gücü Ölçeği geliştirilmiş ve yapısının doğrulanması ile güvenirliğinin belirlemek amacıyla açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Son olarak, Kariyer Yenilenme Gücü ile Kariyer Uyum Yeteneği arasındaki ilişki, kanonik korelasyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Nitel bulgular, ihtiyaç algısı ve ihtiyaç tatmini arasındaki sürecin üç aşamadan oluştuğunu ortaya koymuştur: anlamlandırma, keşfetme-güçlendirme ve harekete geçme. Ölçek geliştirme sürecinde, toplam varyansın %73,5’ini açıklayan üç faktörlü bir yapı belirlenmiş ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) sonuçları iyi bir uyum göstermiştir. Kanonik korelasyon, KGY ile Kariyer Uyum Yeteneği arasında %59’luk örtüşme olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bulgular, kariyer geçişleri sırasında ihtiyaçlarını karşılamalarına ve kariyer gelişimlerini ilerletmelerine rehberlik edecek sağlam bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.

A new perspective on career transitions: Developing Career Renewal Power Model

Abstract

This research aims to develop the Career Renewal Power (CRP) Model, which explains career transition processes through the concepts of need perception and need satisfaction, based on Glasser’s Choice Theory. To investigate the structure and functioning of the model, two qualitative studies were conducted. Subsequently, the CRP Scale was developed, with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses conducted to validate its structure and reliability. Finally, canonical correlation analysis examined the relationship between CRP and Career Adaptability. The qualitative findings revealed that the process between need perception and need satisfaction comprises three stages: sense-making, discovery-empowerment, and action-taking. Scale development identified a three-factor structure explaining 73.5% of the total variance, with confirmatory factor analysis results indicating a good fit. Canonical correlation analysis showed a 59% conceptual overlap between Career Renewal Power and Career Adaptability. These findings provide a robust framework for guiding individuals through career transitions, helping them satisfy their needs and advance their career development.
