Abstract
This study examined the measurement structure of a new measure of employability skills self-efficacy, the “Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale,” in a sample of college students with disabilities. One hundred and ninety-five college students with disabilities completed a survey including the Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale and other selected employment and well-being scales. An exploratory factor analysis indicated a one-factor solution for the scale, accounting for 38.90% of the total variance. The internal consistency reliability coefficient for the scale was .95. The scale was found to significantly correlate with other employment and well-being variables in theoretically expected directions. The results showed that the one-factor measurement structure of the Employability Self-Efficacy of College Students with Disabilities Scale appears to be valid and can be used in higher education and rehabilitation counseling settings to target areas of employability skills where students feel least confident, to prepare them for employment success after graduation.
