Description of the Questionnaire

The Career Adaptability Questionnaire is designed to assess individuals’ ability to adapt to the demands and changes of the professional environment. It examines multiple dimensions, such as skills, attitudes, and emotional resilience, in order to provide a comprehensive picture of career adaptability.

Analysis and Use of Data

The analysis includes the assessment of four key dimensions: developmental adaptability, which refers to the ability to learn and develop new skills; emotional resilience, which concerns the ability to manage stress and emotional challenges; problem-solving skills, which relate to recognizing and effectively resolving issues; and willingness to change, which reflects a positive attitude and adaptability to new conditions. The data obtained can be used by career counselors and researchers for designing support and training programs.

Purpose

The purpose is to provide a reliable tool for understanding the factors that influence career adaptability, thereby enhancing the development of strategies that help individuals respond effectively to challenges and achieve professional goals.

Calibration

Calibration is carried out through responses on a Likert scale (1 = not at all to 5 = very much). The individual scores for each dimension are summed to produce an overall score, which serves as an indicator of career adaptability.
