Structural validity and measurement invariance of the Psychological Career Resources Inventory Short Form as a predictor of career satisfaction

ORCID Icon, ORCID Icon & ORCID Icon
 

Abstract

The present study had two objectives. The first objective was to assess the structural validity of the Psychological Career Resources Inventory – Short Form (PCRI-SF) and for measurement equivalence across ethnic (white and black) and gender groups in the South African work setting. The second objective was to assess whether the PCRI-SF predicts individuals’ career satisfaction. The article presents the findings of two studies that corroborate the PCRI-SF as a valid and reliable measure of individuals’ psychological career resources as attributes of their career self-management behaviour and as predictors of their career satisfaction. The PCRI-SF further exhibited measurement equivalence for white and black people and men and women in the South African organisational setting. The findings indicate that the PCRI-SF is a valid and reliable measure of individuals’ psychological career resources as attributes of self-regulated career management behaviour and as meaningful predictors of career satisfaction.
