Abstract
The purposes of the study were to investigate the psychometric properties of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale-short form (CAAS-SF) and to examine the measurement invariance of the career adapt abilities model across gender. The sample consisted of 330 undergraduate students at the Faculty of Education, Chulalongkorn University. The instrument was the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale-short form. Internal consistency reliability, item discrimination, and criterion-related validity were calculated using SPSS. Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group structural equation modeling were analyzed using LISREL 8.72. The research findings revealed:
1. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the full scale was .90 and the reliability of the subscales were ranged from .74 to .81.
2. The item discrimination values ranged from .55 to .69.
3. The result from criterion-related validity found the moderate level of correlation with Student Career Construction Inventory with statistical significance at .01 (r= .66).
4. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the career adapt abilities model fit the empirical data very well: = 57.79, df = 45, p=0.095, GFI=0.972, AGFI=0.951, RMR=0.016, and RMSEA=0.029. All factor loadings were statistically significant at .01.
5.The measurement invariance of the career adapt abilities model showed that there was configural and parameter invariance between male students and female students.
