Development and Validation of a Parent–Child Career Value Congruence Scale: A Two-Stage Study on Scale Construction and Structural Model Analysis in Young Adults
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
This postdoctoral research project aims to develop and validate a Parent–Child Career Value Congruence Scale tailored to collectivist cultural contexts, with a focus on young adults in Indonesia. The study consists of two stages: (1) scale construction and validation, and (2) structural model analysis to examine how value congruence influences career-related outcomes such as wellbeing, autonomy, and satisfaction. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, Value Congruence Theory, Social Cognitive Career Theory, and the Systems Theory Framework, this research addresses a gap in cross-cultural career development literature by creating an evidence-based tool grounded in both psychological theory and local context. The project is a collaboration between James Cook University and Diponegoro University, and it will contribute to international scholarship, practical counselling tools, and future cross-cultural applications across education and career services.
