Willingness to compromise is defined as the propensity to accept an alternative career-related option that was not the one initially desired. In the literature, there is a validated scale for measuring willingness to compromise but not an Italian validation. Thus, Study 1 aimed to test the psychometric proprieties of the Willingness to Compromise Scale in a sample of 282 Italian university students. Confirmatory factor analyses were performed showing a second-order factorial structure with two well-separated first-order factors, i.e., compromising and adapting. Study 2 focused on the predicting role of willingness to compromise on career decision self-efficacy and the mediating role of career adaptability in this relationship. The sample consisted of 237 Italian university students. A mediation analysis with a 5000-bootstrap resampling procedure was computed. The results showed that willingness to compromise predicts both career decision self-efficacy and career adaptability, while career adaptability mediates the relationship between willingness to compromise and career decision self-efficacy. These findings allowed the discussion of practical implications for career guidance intervention aimed to support school-to-work transitions.
妥协意愿被定义为接受最初不期望的替代职业相关选择的倾向。在文献中，有一个经过验证的衡量妥协意愿的量表，但没有意大利语的验证。因此，研究 1 旨在在 282 名意大利大学生样本中测试妥协意愿量表的心理测量特性。验证性因素分析显示出二阶因子结构，具有两个很好区分的一阶因子，即妥协和适应。研究 2 关注妥协意愿对职业决策自我效能感的预测作用，以及职业适应性在这种关系中的中介作用。样本由 237 名意大利大学生组成。使用 5000 次引导重抽样程序进行了中介分析。结果表明，妥协意愿既可以预测职业决策自我效能感，也可以预测职业适应性，而职业适应性则在妥协意愿和职业决策自我效能感之间的关系中起中介作用。这些发现为旨在支持从学校到工作过渡的职业指导干预提供了实际意义的讨论。
