Abstract

Abstract. This paper reports on the development of a unidimensional short scale for measuring career calling (UMCS-7). The scale has been developed drawing from the theoretical model behind the Unified Multidimensional Calling Scale (UMCS; Vianello et al., 2018 ), according to which calling is composed of Passion, Prosociality, Purpose, Pervasiveness, Sacrifice, Transcendent Summons, and Identity. The UMCS-7 integrates classical and modern conceptualizations of career calling and can be used when time constraints prevent using the UMCS. The UMCS-7 has been validated in a sample of Italian workers ( N = 1,246) using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A sample of US employees ( N = 165) was used to estimate measurement invariance across languages, establishing the equivalence of factor loadings, all but two intercepts, and all error variances. The UMCS-7 demonstrated nearly perfect convergent validity with the UMCS ( r = .97), excellent internal consistency (αItaly = .86; αUS = .87), and satisfactory concurrent validity with job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and turnover intentions.

统一多维召唤量表(UMCS)简表的心理测量性质及测量不变性

摘要本文报道了一种测量职业召唤的单维短量表(UMCS-7)的研制。该量表是根据统一多维呼叫量表(UMCS;Vianello等人，2018)，根据该理论，召唤由激情、亲社会性、目的、普遍性、牺牲、超越召唤和身份组成。UMCS-7集成了职业召唤的经典和现代概念，可以在时间限制无法使用UMCS时使用。UMCS-7在意大利工人样本(N = 1,246)中使用探索性和验证性因素分析进行了验证。美国雇员样本(N = 165)被用来估计跨语言的测量不变性，建立因子负荷的等效性，除两个截距外的所有截距，以及所有误差方差。UMCS-7与UMCS具有接近完美的收敛效度(r = 0.97)，良好的内部一致性(α -意大利= 0.86;αUS = .87)，满意的同时效度与工作满意度、生活满意度和离职意向有关。

期刊介绍： The main purpose of the EJPA is to present important articles which provide seminal information on both theoretical and applied developments in this field. Articles reporting the construction of new measures or an advancement of an existing measure are given priority. The journal is directed to practitioners as well as to academicians: The conviction of its editors is that the discipline of psychological assessment should, necessarily and firmly, be attached to the roots of psychological science, while going deeply into all the consequences of its applied, practice-oriented development.
