Abstract

The present study aims to validate the Chinese version of the Work Volition Scales (WVS), an instrument that assesses three components of work volition: volition, financial constraint, and construct constraint. In Study 1 (N = 498), the WVS was translated into Chinese, and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted resulting in that three factors were consistent with the original scale. In Study 2 (N = 442), the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the bifactor model provided the most parsimonious fit to the data. The measurement invariance test then revealed that the WVS is equivalent across gender, age, education level, and job tenure. In addition, convergent and concurrent validity supported the finding that the WVS and three subscales are linked with related variables. The results support significant incremental validity in predicting career satisfaction, meaningful work, and life well-being. The findings suggest that the WVS is a valuable instrument for researchers and career counselors who seek to explore work volition among Chinese working adults.

中国职场成年人工作意愿量表的跨文化验证研究
本研究旨在验证中文版的工作意愿量表(WVS),该量表评估工作意愿的三个组成部分:意愿、财务约束和建构约束。研究1 (N = 498)将WVS量表翻译成中文,并进行探索性因子分析(EFA),发现三个因子与原量表一致。在研究2 (N = 442)中,验证性因子分析表明,双因子模型对数据的拟合最简洁。测量不变性检验表明,WVS在性别、年龄、教育水平和工作年限上是相等的。此外,收敛效度和并发效度支持WVS和三个子量表与相关变量之间存在关联的发现。结果支持显著的增量效度预测职业满意度、有意义的工作和生活幸福感。研究结果表明,对于研究人员和职业顾问来说,WVS是一个有价值的工具,他们试图探索中国成年劳动者的工作意志。

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.
