The career adapt-abilities scale-Nigeria form: Psychometric properties and construct validity

This study examined the psychometric properties of Career Adapt-Ability Scale (CAAS) in Nigeria. The CAAS consists of four subscales, each with six items that measure concern, control, curiosity and confidence as psychosocial resources for coping with occupational tasks, work traumas and transitions. The participants in this study included bank (N=143) and hotel (N=128) employees. Internal consistency estimates for the subscale and total scores ranged from good to excellent. The factor structure was similar to that of the CAASInternational Form. While the result revealed that age was significantly related to confidence, gender and education had no significant relationships with the four dimensions of adaptability.
