Career adapt-abilities scale-France form: Psychometric properties and relationships to anxiety and motivation

The CAAS-France Form consists of four scales, each with six items, which measure concern, control, curiosity, and confidence as psychosocial resources for managing occupational transitions, developmental tasks, and work traumas. Internal consistency estimates for the subscale and total scores ranged from moderate to good. The factor structure was quite similar to the one computed for combined data from 13 countries. The CAAS France Form is identical to the International Form 2.0. Concurrent validity evidence was collected relative to motivation and anxiety given that adaptability has been identified as a meta-competency for career construction in information societies. Relations between career adaptability and motivation measures were as predicted. However, they provide partial support to the relations between career adaptability and general or career anxiety.
