FERREIRA, Nadia; COETZEE, Melinde  e  POTGIETER, Ingrid. Validity of the career embeddedness scale as predictor of affective commitment. SA j. ind. Psychol. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.1, pp.1-8. ISSN 2071-0763.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajip.v48i0.1956.

ORIENTATION: In times of rapid change, organisations have a dire need for workers who remain psychologically attached and committed to their work for optimal sustainable organisational performance and survivalRESEARCH PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to explore the construct validity of the Career Embeddedness Scale (CES) as predictor of individuals' affective commitmentMOTIVATION FOR THE STUDY: There is a paucity of research regarding the construct validity of the CES and whether it predicts an individual's affective commitmentRESEARCH APPROACH/DESIGN AND METHOD: The study involved a cross-sectional quantitative survey on a sample of employees in the services industry. The sample consisted of African (South African = 70% and Zimbabwean = 15%) and European (15%) participants (N = 290), with a mean age of 38.58 yearsMAIN FINDINGS: Confirmatory factory analysis (CFA) analysis provided evidence of the construct validity of the CES in predicting affective commitmentPRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The use of the CES measure of the degree to which organisational career support conditions fulfil individuals' psychological career needs potentially provides opportunity for engagement with the organisation and individual on career development issues in response to workplace changes that potentially affect employees' psychological attachment to the organisationCONTRIBUTION/VALUE-ADD: The study contributed to the career development research literature by providing valuable psychometric information on the CES and its application in the person-environment (P-E) fit theory and work context

Palavras-chave : career embeddedness; personal career fit; career needs support; person-environment fit; affective commitment.
