Abstract

Two existing measures of career motivation were used to collect data from a sample of Canadian managers and professionals recently displaced due to downsizing. Measurement models assessed the unidimensionality, reliability and discriminant validity of career motivation sub-domains while structural rnodcls were used to assess convergent validity. The career resilience construct received the most support but propositions about career identity end insight were also supported. The results clarify the riomological net of career motivation theory and produce an integrated, composite career motivation scale.
