Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati metrijske karakteristike hrvatske inaĉice VISA upitnika kao trenutno najadekvatnije mjere statusa profesionalnog identiteta koja ukljuĉuje tri dimenzije: posvećenosti, istraţivanja i preispitivanja posvećenosti karijeri. Upitnik je primijenjen na uzorku od 801 uĉenika prvih i ĉetvrtih razreda srednjih škola na podruĉju Grada Zagreba. Faktorskom analizom potvrĊena je predviĊena jednostavna šestfaktorska struktura, a pored toga identificirano je oĉekivanih šest statusa profesionalnog identiteta: postignuti, preuzeti, difuzija, moratorij, istraţivaĉki moratorij i nediferencirani status. Dobne i spolne razlike na skalama, dimenzijama i statusima identiteta uglavnom su sukladne teorijskim oĉekivanjama. Uĉenici ĉetvrtih razreda postiţu više rezultate na skali posvećenosti, a niţe na skalama fleksibilnosti i istraţivanja u širinu od uĉenika prvih razreda te ih ima više u preuzetom i postignutom statusu i difuziji, a manje u moratoriju. Uĉenice postiţu više rezultate na skalama identifikacije s posvećenošću i istraţivanja u dubinu. Pripadnici istraţivaĉkog moratorija postiţu bolji školski uspjeh od pripadnika moratorija. Uĉenici u statusu moratorija imaju najlošije karakteristike procesa odluĉivanja o karijeri, a pripadnici preuzetog identiteta najbolje. Ostali statusi identiteta nalaze se izmeĊu njih i ne razlikuju se meĊusobno, s iznimkom nediferenciranog statusa ĉije su karakteristike procesa odabira karijere nešto sliĉnije statusu moratorija. Istraţivanje je potvrdilo zadovoljavajuće metrijske karakteristike upitnika, što upućuje na mogućnost njegove praktiĉne primjene u profesionalnom savjetovanju.

Abstract (english)

Considering that VISA questionnaire is currently the most adequate measure of vocational identity status, which includes three dimensions: commitment, exploration and reconsideration of commitment, the aim of this study was to examine metrical characteristics of its Croatian version. The questionnaire has been applied on a sample of Croatian high school students who attended first and fourth grade (N=801). According to the data obtained from factor analysis, the designated six factors were confirmed. Expected six vocational identity statuses were identified: achieved, foreclosed, diffused, moratorium, searching moratorium and undifferentiated. Age and gender differences on scales, dimensions and identity statuses are mainly in line with theoretical expectations. Fourth grade students achieved higher results on commitment scale and lower results on flexibility and in-breath exploration scales in comparison to first grade students. Furthermore, they were more likely to occupy the foreclosed, achieved and diffused statuses but less the moratorium status. Female students achieved better results on commitment identification and in-depth exploration scales. Participants in searching moratorium status accomplished better school achievement than participants in moratorium status. Moratorium and foreclosed statuses respectively exhibited the least and most favorable characteristics considering career decision-making. The rest of vocational identity statuses did not differ and could be placed between the moratorium and foreclosed groups. The only exception were undifferentiated participants whose career decision-making characteristics were similar to the moratorium group. The results of our study confirm the validity of the VISA questionnaire and justifies its application for career consulting in Croatia.
