Abstract
The career adaptation model helps to explain the process of transitioning from university to employment among college students. This study tested the invariance of the model for gender and for Portuguese and Brazilian cultural contexts. Participants included 638 students (69% women, 66.1% Brazilian), aged 18 to 56 (M = 23.78, SD = 20.33). Individuals’ adaptability resources, adapting responses, and adaptation results were considered and assessed. Multigroup path analysis results indicated invariance of the model only for contexts, indicating that the adaptation process, in university to employment transition, is equivalent in Portugal and Brazil, guiding career interventions in both contexts.
Résumé
Facteurs qui influencent l’adaptation de l’université à l’emploi au Portugal et au Brésil. Le modèle d'adaptation de carrière permet d'expliquer le processus de transition de l'université à l'emploi chez les étudiants de premier cycle universitaire. Cette étude a testé l'invariance du modèle pour le genre et pour les contextes culturels portugais et brésilien. Les participants étaient 638 étudiants (69% de femmes, 66.1% de Brésiliens), âgés de 18 à 56 ans (M = 23.78, ET = 20.33). Les ressources d’adaptabilité des individus, les réponses d'adaptation et les résultats d'adaptation ont été pris en compte et évalués. Les résultats de l'analyse des pistes causales multi-groupes ont indiqué une invariance du modèle uniquement pour les contextes, indiquant que le processus d'adaptation, dans la transition de l'université à l'emploi, est équivalent au Portugal et au Brésil, et peuvent orienter les interventions de carrière dans les deux contextes.
Zusammenfassung
Anpassungsfaktoren von Universitätsabsolventen/-innen beim Arbeitsmarkteintritt in Portugal und Brasilien. Das Modell der beruflichen Laufbahnanpassung bei Hochschulstudenten/-innen hilft, den Prozess des Übergangs von der Universität in die Arbeitswelt zu erklären. In dieser Studie wurde die Modelläquivalenz für das Geschlecht und den (portugiesischen respektive brasilianischen) kulturellen Kontext geprüft. Zu den Teilnehmern/-innen zählen 638 Studierende (69% Frauen, 66.1% Brasilianer/innen) im Alter von 18-56 Jahren (M = 23.78, SD = 20.33). Gemessen wurden die Anpassungsfähigkeitsressourcen, die Anpassungsreaktionen und die Anpassungsfolgen. Die Ergebnisse der Mehrgruppen-Pfadanalyse zeigten Modelläquivalenz für den kulturellen Kontext, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Anpassungsprozesse beim Übergang von der Universität in den Beruf in Portugal und Brasilien äquivalent sind. Dies bedeutet hinsichtlich beruflichen Interventionen Ähnliches für beide Kulturen.
Resumen
Factores que influyen sobre la adaptación desde la universidad al empleo en Portugal y Brasil. El modelo de adaptación de la carrera ayuda a explicar el proceso de transición de la universidad al empleo entre los estudiantes universitarios. Este estudio puso a prueba la invarianza del modelo tanto para el género como para los contextos culturales portugués y brasileño. La muestra de participantes constaba de 638 estudiantes (69% mujeres, 66,1% brasileños), de 18 a 56 años (M = 23.78, DT = 20.33). Se consideraron y evaluaron los recursos de adaptabilidad de las personas, las respuestas adaptativas y los resultados de la adaptación. Los resultados del path analysis multigrupo indicaron que la invarianza del modelo solo se confirma en el caso de los contextos, lo que indica que el proceso de adaptación, en la transición de la universidad al empleo, es equivalente en Portugal y Brasil, orientando las intervenciones para el desarrollo de la carrera en ambos contextos.
