Abstract
The notion of career is no longer understood as a progressive advancement within the same organization, but rather as a lifelong dynamic transition between multiple jobs. Lee et al. (2021) developed Career Crafting Assessment as a means of identifying the proactive behaviors that people engage in when developing their career paths. The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the scale. In Study 1 ( N = 938), Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the four-factor model of the scale. The results supported the measurement invariance for gender, but not for age. The internal consistency of the scale was adequate. In Study 2 ( N = 344), we found significant positive correlations between career crafting and two similar constructs, namely job crafting and organizational career management, supporting the convergent validity of the scale. In Study 3 ( N = 213), the criterion validity of the scale was supported by significant positive correlations between career crafting and four of its possible outcomes, namely performance, work engagement, perceived meaningfulness of work, and person-job fit. Our results are in line with the findings of Lee et al. (2021) and suggest that the Romanian version of the instrument is valid.
