Career adaptability is a psychosocial resource for managing career-related tasks and transitions, and is a central construct in career construction theory and the field of vocational behavior. The development and validation of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS; Savickas & Porfeli, 2012) has led to a recent surge in empirical research concerning career adaptability, however so far no systematic synthesis of this literature has been attempted. As such, we are in the process of preparing a meta-analysis on the antecedents, correlates, and outcomes of career adaptability.
We are writing to request unpublished data (i.e., correlations, means, sample sizes, and reliability estimates) between career adaptability, it's dimensions, and relevant person/demographic, individual difference, contextual, career-related, and outcome (e.g., performance, well-being) variables.
If you have conducted a study on career adaptability that you think meets these criteria, please email Cort Rudolph, Department of Psychology, Saint Louis University (rudolphc@slu.edu).
Sincerely,
Cort Rudolph & Hannes Zacher
