Abstract

Prema modelu Konstrukcije karijere kroz prilagodbu, kognitivne sposobnosti su jedna od
temeljnih osobina koje čine spremnost za prilagodbu te time određuju resurse za prilagodbu,
odnosno pojedinčevu profesionalnu adaptabilnost. Profesionalna adaptabilnost je samoregulacijska
kompetencija koja omogućuje pojedincima uspješno rješavanje nepoznatih,
složenih i slabo-definiranih problema kroz njihovu karijeru. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti razinu
profesionalne adaptabilnosti studenata u Hrvatskoj i ispitati njenu povezanost s kognitivnim
sposobnostima pojedinca. Drugi cilj je bio utvrditi model predviđanja profesionalne
adaptabilnosti i pripadnih faceta na temelju objektivnih i subjektivnih mjera akademskog
uspjeha, socioekonomskog statusa i vidjeti razlikuju li se modeli kod muškaraca i žena. U
istraživanju je sudjelovalo 299 studenata sveučilišta i veleučilišta u Zagrebu, većinom u dobi
od 19 do 25 godina. Kao mjera profesionalne adaptabilnosti korištena je hrvatska inačica
Skale profesionalne adaptabilnosti (Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, Savickas i Porfeli, 2012), a
prosjek ocjena na fakultetu korišten je kao aproksimacija kognitivnih sposobnosti. Također,
korištena je i subjektivna mjera akademskog uspjeha, te kompozitna mjera SES-a. Rezultati
istraživanja u skladu su s dosadašnjim istraživanjima. Pokazuju slabu do umjerenu povezanost
profesionalne adaptabilnosti i akademskog uspjeha kao pokazatelja kognitivnih sposobnosti.
Na temelju objektivnih i subjektivnih pokazatelja akademskog uspjeha i sociekonomskog
statusa kod žena smo uspjeli objasniti 10,8% varijance profesionalne adaptabilnosti, a kod
muškaraca 19,7% varijance.

Abstract (english)

According to the Career construction model of adaptation, cognitive abilities are one of the
basic traits which enable adaptive readiness and thereby determine adaptability resources or
career adaptability. Career adaptability constitutes a self-regulatory competency that enables
workers to successfully solve unfamiliar, complex and ill-defined problems throughout their
careers. The purpose of this study is to explore career adaptability of students in Croatia and
determine it's relation to individuals' cognitive abilities. The second aim of this research was
to establish a prediction model of career adaptability and its resources based on objective and
subjective measures of academic achievement, and socioeconomic status. Additionally, we
tested to see whether there was a difference between men and women in the prediction model.
Two hundred ninety-nine students from various faculties in Zagreb, mainly between the ages
of 19 and 25, have participated in this study. As a measure of career adaptability the Croatian
version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (Savickas and Porfeli, 2012) was used, and GPA
was used as a proxy for cognitive abilities. Also, self-reported study performance and
composite measure of socio-economic status were used. The results are in accordance with
previous research showing a weak to moderate relation of career adaptability and cognitive
abilities. Based on the objective and subjective measures of academic success, and
socioeconomic status we managed to explain 10,8% of the variance of career adaptability in
women, and 19,7% in men.
