Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je validirati hrvatsku inačicu upitnika Karijera kao poziv te utvrditi njegovu povezanost s radnom angažiranosti i profesionalnom adaptabilnosti te dodatno s uspjehom na studiju, socioekonomskim statusom i spolom. Karijerni poziv je novi konstrukt i predmet recentnih istraživanja u psihologiji izbora i razvoja karijere. Karijerni poziv je razvojni i dinamičan konstrukt koji predstavlja istaknut i samoodređen cilj višeg reda generirajući značenje i svrhu za pojedinca. Javlja se prije nego se pojedinac zaposli i razvija se kako osoba sazrijeva (Praskova, Creed i Hood, 2015). Karakterističan je za populaciju mladih na pragu odraslosti kojoj pripadaju mladi ljudi od 18 do 25 godine, a upravo se to prijelazno razdoblje iz adolescencije prema ranom odraslom dobu smatra jednim od ključnih razdoblja za donošenje odluka o karijeri.
Upitnik se sastoji od 15 pitanja te sadrži tri podljestvice: Orijentiranost prema drugima, Osobno značenje i Aktivan angažman. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 299 studenata s različitih fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, a rezultati su ukazali na trofaktorsku strukturu, jednaku onoj kakva je u engleskoj inačici upitnika. Pouzdanost je zadovoljavajuća (α = ,88) te je nađena statistički značajna visoka pozitivna povezanost karijernog poziva s radnom angažiranosti i profesionalnom adaptabilnosti. Karijerni poziv je u statistički značajnoj, umjerenoj i pozitivnoj korelaciji s uspjehom na studiju, dok sa spolom i socioekonomskim statusom nije statistički značajno povezan. Hijerarhijskom regresijskom analizom utvrđeno je da su radna angažiranost i profesionalna adaptabilnost dobri prediktori karijernog poziva.
Metrijske karakteristike hrvatske inačice upitnika Karijera kao poziv su zadovoljavajuće te se potiče korištenje upitnika u praktične svrhe, na primjer prilikom profesionalnog usmjeravanja srednjoškolaca. Budući da je ovo prvo istraživanje karijernog poziva u Hrvatskoj, potrebna su daljnja istraživanja kako bi se proširilo znanje o ovom novom konstruktu.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper was to validate the Croatian version of the Career calling questionnaire and to establish its relations with work engagement and career adaptability, and additionally with self-reported study performance, socioeconomic status and gender. Career calling is a new construct that is recently proposed and studied. Career calling is a developmental and dynamic construct that represents a prominent and self-determined goal of higher order by generating meaning and purpose for the individual. Career calling occurs before an individual is employed and evolves as a person matures (Praskova, Creed and Hood, 2015). It is typical for emerging adults, young people aged 18 to 25, and this transition period from adolescence to early adulthood is considered to be one of the key periods for making career decisions.
The questionnaire consists of 15 questions and contains three subscales: Other-oriented meaning, Personal Meaning and Active Engagement. The total of 299 students from different faculties of the University of Zagreb participated in the research. Results indicated a three-factor structure, which is the same as in the English version of the questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was excellent (α = ,88). Career calling correlated highly and positively with work engagement and career adaptability, and moderately and positively with study performance. On the other hand, career calling did not correlate with gender and socioeconomic status. Using methods of hierarchical regression analysis, it was found that work engagement and career adaptability are good predictors of career calling.
The metric characteristics of the Croatian version of the Career calling questionnaire are good and encourage the use of the questionnaire for practical purposes, for example in the career counselling of high school students. Since this is the first study of a career calling in Croatia, further research is needed to expand knowledge on this new construct.
