Developing a competency-based framework for teachers’ entrepreneurial behaviour (2010, background): “Rottinghaus, Day, and Borgen (2005) found that perceived knowledge of the job market, or how well one understands job market and employment trends, was related to various behaviours at work.”
Linking Protean Career Orientation with Career Optimism: Career Adaptability and Career Decision Self-Efficacy as Mediators (2020, methodology): “As compared to the earlier generations, today’s young people are likely to display a lower level of career optimism, referring to a positive expectation of one’s future career development (Garcia et al., 2015; Rottinghaus et al., 2005).”
Sense of Control and Career Adaptability Among Undergraduate Students (2010, methodology): “Considering the definitions of adaptability of both Savickas (1997) and Rottinghaus et al. (2005), this finding suggests that individuals who endorse a greater sense of personal control may be able to more easily navigate the world of work by proactively adjusting themselves to fit expectations.”
Testing a Calling Model of Psychological Career Success in Australian Young Adults: A Longitudinal Study (2014, result): “Rottinghaus et al. (2005) confirmed the factor structure of the measure, and found expected, positive correlations with career maturity, skills confidence, extraversion, conscientiousness, positive affect, and problem solving in samples of university students.”
Career Self-Efficacy: Exemplary Recent Research and Emerging Directions (2007, background): “Self-regulatory self-efficacy could refer to one’s beliefs in one’s abilities to organize and manage one’s time and workload to facilitate success or career adaptability skills (see Griffin & Hesketh, 2005; Rottinghaus, Day, & Borgen, 2005 ).”
The Career Futures Inventory–Revised (2012, background): “Rottinghaus et al. (2005) reported moderate correlations between CFI scales and measures of dispositional optimism, career decision self-efficacy, and problem solving.”
A Systematic Review of the Career Adaptability Literature and Future Outlook (2018, methodology): “One way to categorize these measures presented above is to distinguish those that measure adaptability resources (e.g., the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, the Career Futures Inventory) from those that measure adaptive responses (e.g., Hirschi, 2009).”
