Abstract

Teachers have a key role in adolescents’ career development. Nevertheless, few studies examined their effect on career outcomes. The present study has two objectives. First, to test the factorial structure of the Italian version of the Career-related Teacher Support Scale (CRTSS) with Italian adolescents. Second, to test how career-related teacher support leads to career decision self-efficacy through career adaptability. In Study I, 469 adolescents were asked to complete the CRTSS. A first-order model, a second-order model (hierarchical), a bi-factor model (hierarchical), and a single-factor model were compared to check the best model solution. Additionally, the measurement invariance was examined across male and female. Results reveal the superiority of the second-order (hierarchical) model and the invariance between males and females. In the Study II took part 228 adolescents. A structural equation modeling approach assessed the relationship between career-related teacher support, career adaptability and career decision self-efficacy. A mediation model showed a significant indirect effect of career-related teacher support on decision self-efficacy through career adaptability. Practical implications for interventions were discussed.

与职业相关的教师支持量表：在意大利青少年中进行验证并评估职业适应性对职业决策自我效能的影响

教师在青少年的职业发展中起着关键作用。然而，很少有研究探讨教师对职业生涯结果的影响。本研究有两个目标。首先，在意大利青少年中测试意大利语版职业相关教师支持量表（CRTSS）的因子结构。其次，测试与职业相关的教师支持如何通过职业适应性提高职业决策自我效能感。在研究 I 中，469 名青少年被要求完成 CRTSS。对一阶模型、二阶模型（分层）、双因素模型（分层）和单因素模型进行了比较，以检验最佳模型解决方案。此外，还对男性和女性的测量不变性进行了检验。结果表明，二阶（分层）模型更优越，且在男性和女性之间具有不变性。研究 II 共有 228 名青少年参加。结构方程模型方法评估了与职业相关的教师支持、职业适应性和职业决策自我效能感之间的关系。中介模型显示，通过职业适应性，与职业相关的教师支持对职业决策自我效能感有显著的间接影响。讨论了干预措施的实际意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
