Abstract

This study tested the Career Construction Model of Adaptation (CCMA) in a sample of Afghanistan’s working adults amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures of adaptation were applied at three time points, that is, positive orientation toward future (adaptive readiness) at Time 1, career adaptability (adaptability resources) and competence need satisfaction at work (adapting responses) at Time 2, and meaningful work (adaptation result) at Time 3. Testing the model through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicated that the indirect effect of positive orientation toward future at Time 1 on meaningful work at Time 3 via the combination of career adaptability and competence need satisfaction at work at Time 2 was significant and positive. Results support Afghan employees’ career construction over time. Theoretical contribution of the results and strategies for assisting Afghan employees in crafting their careers in the current political situation are discussed. Study limitations and prospects for future research are also discussed.

阿富汗工作成人适应职业建构模型的纵向研究

本研究以2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的阿富汗成年工作人员为样本，对适应职业构建模型(CCMA)进行了测试。在三个时间点上，分别是时间1的面向未来的积极取向(适应准备)，时间2的职业适应性(适应资源)和工作能力需求满意度(适应反应)，时间3的工作意义(适应结果)。通过结构方程模型(SEM)对模型进行检验表明，时间1的积极未来取向通过职业适应性和时间2工作能力需求满意度的结合，间接影响时间3的有意义工作。结果支持阿富汗雇员的职业生涯建设。讨论了结果的理论贡献和在当前政治局势下协助阿富汗雇员制定其职业生涯的战略。并对研究的局限性和未来的研究进行了展望。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Career Assessment publishes methodologically sound, empirically based studies focusing on the process and techniques by which counselors and others gain understanding of the individual faced with the necessity of making informed career decisions. The term career assessment, as used in this journal, covers the various techniques, tests, inventories, rating scales, interview schedules, surveys, and direct observational methods used in scientifically based practice and research to provide an improved understanding of career decision-making. The focus is not just testing, but all those means developed and used to assess and evaluate individuals and environments in the field of career counseling and development.
