Abstract(s)
Neste estudo, analisámos a relação entre a adaptabilidade de carreira, expressa nas
dimensões Preocupação, Controlo, Confiança e Curiosidade, e um conjunto de variáveis
sociodemográficas (sexo, zona de residência, educação parental) e do percurso escolar
(média de classificações, retenções, participação em atividades extracurriculares). Tes támos ainda a relação entre a participação prévia reportada em atividades de carreira e
a realização de atividades ocupacionais, e a adaptabilidade de carreira. Participaram no
estudo 201 estudantes do ensino secundário, com idades compreendidas os 16 e os 23
anos (M = 17.56, DP = 0.89). Os instrumentos foram um questionário sociodemográfico e
escolar e a versão Portuguesa da Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. Os resultados não mostraram
um efeito global das variáveis sociodemográficas na adaptabilidade de carreira, com a
exceção de um efeito de pequena magnitude da área de residência (rural) no Controlo; e
um efeito de pequena magnitude do sexo (feminino) na Preocupação. Verificou-se uma
associação entre o desempenho escolar (moderado na média das classificações; fraco no
caso das retenções) e a adaptabilidade de carreira. A participação prévia em atividades
de educação e desenvolvimento de carreira, ou a realização de atividades ocupacionais,
não se associaram à adaptabilidade de carreira com a presente amostra.
In this study, we analyzed the association of high school students’ career adaptability (as expressed in Curiosity, Concern, Control, Confidence dimensions) with a set of sociodemographic (gender, geographical zone of residence, parental education), school path (grade point average [GPA], retentions, participation in extracurricular activities) variables. We also tested whether reported previous participation in career development activities, and occupational activities had a relation to present career adaptability. The sample consisted of 201 Portuguese high school students, aged 16 to 23 years-old (M = 17.56, SD = 0.89). We used a sociodemographic survey and the Portuguese version of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. The results did not show a significant global effect of sociodemographic variables in students’ career adaptability, with the exception of a small magnitude effect of the area of residence (rural) on Control, and of gender (female) on Concern. A significant association between academic performance (moderate for GPA, weak for retentions) and career adaptability was found. Previous participation in career education and development activities, or having occupational activities, did not associate to career adaptability in the present sample.
