Özet:

The aim of this study was to adapt the Perceived Future Employment Scale (PFES) into Turkish language and examine the reliability and validity among university students. The participants consisted of 461 students studying at two different universities in the Black Sea Region. In the validity study, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and the validity of the equivalent scale was examined. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit indexes of the six-factor structure as in the original structure were found to be acceptable. Similarly, the results of the calculations show that the scale provides convergent and discriminatory validity. As a result of the validity of the equivalent scale, a statistically significant relationship was found between the subscales of the PFES and the subscales and total scores of the Career Adaptation Capabilities Scale. On the other hand, negative and low levels of significant relationships were found between the expected reputation sub-dimension of the PFES and the total and negative emotions sub-dimension of the Career Stress Scale. Composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients for the scale were found to be sufficient. As a result, it can be said that the Perceived Future Employability Scale has sufficient validity and reliability values for measuring university students’ future skills, experiences, communication networks, personal characteristics, knowledge about the labor market and their perceptions about the reputation of the university they will complete their education.
