Adaptation of the Career Commitment Scale for a Sample of Brazilian Students

This study aimed to adapt the Career Commitment Scale (CCS) for a sample of Brazilian students. The present study included 1,461students aged between 14 and 24 years (M = 17.1; SD = 1.0) who attended public and private schools from Manaus-AM. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to identify the underlying dimensions of the scale and selection of items with higher saturation. From the 40 items of the original scale, 28 were kept, which were organized according to the original structure of five factors and with an explained variance of 47.5%. Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed the suitability of the solution of five factors. The psychometric qualities of the instrument allow us to state that the CCS-BR is a scale with potential to evaluate the dimensions of career development in the Brazilian context.
