Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of a Turkish version of the Career Locus of Control Scale (CLCS) among high school students in Izmir, Turkey ( N = 490). Participants completed the Turkish version of the CLCS and Nowicki–Strickland Locus of Control Scale (NSLCS). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) supported a four-dimensional structure (internality, luck, helplessness, and powerful others). This result offered strong support for the original factor structure of the CLCS. Multigroup CFA supported measurement invariance for gender groups. Concurrent validity results demonstrated significant associations between CLCS dimensions and NSLCS. The Turkish version of the CLCS yielded excellent reliability values from .80 to .86. Findings suggested that the Turkish CLCS was a valid and reliable measure of career locus of control (LOC) suitable for 11th and 12th graders. This multidimensional framework adds to the understanding of career LOC in career paths.
