Validación de un modelo de medida de la auto-eficacia en la toma de decisión de la carrera
Abstract
The purposes of this research is to adaptate and validate a career decision-making self-efficacy scale based on Taylor and Betz (1983), Career Decision-making Self-Efficacy Scale. It is a Likert scale with 30 items, the process adaptation and validations included one expert studio, two pilot studios and a confirmatory research which is presented in this article. The measure model was validated with a sample of 2.783 Spanish students aged between 14 and 18. The scale has an Alpha 0.91 coefficient. After making an exploratory analysis and tests the five factors, we did a confirmatory analysis using the Structural Equation Model methodology, with AMOS 4.0 programme. The results of the study support the theoretical hypothesis on which the model is based. We have a valid scale to assess career decision-making self efficacy to be used by researchers and counsellors to deepen knowledge in career counselling field through the Career Social-Cognitive Theory. Implications for counselling and future research are also discussed.Downloads
