English abstract
This study explored the relationship between career adaptability,
career crafting, and subjective career success among career guidance
specialists in the Sultanate of Oman. The present descriptive correlational
study was conducted on 298 career guidance specialists who were selected
from all governorates of Sultanate Oman. Based on the purpose of the
study, the Career Adapt-abilities Scale (Savickas & Porfeli, 2012), Career
Crafting Scale (Tims & Akkermans, 2020), and Subjective Career Success
Scale (Briscoe et al., 2021) were used to collect the required data after
adapted into Arabic.
The results showed no statistically significant difference in career
adaptability attributed to the variables of gender, educational level, and
experience years. The results also showed no statistically significant
difference in subjective career success scale in general attributed to such
variables, the only exceptions came in favor of females in the learning &
development dimension in importance and favor of the high education
versus the intermediate diploma in financial security dimension in
achievement. However, the result showed that there were statistically
significant differences in the levels of career crafting due to the variable
of the gender, educational level, and experience years, in favor of females,
ح
and the bachelor and high education versus the intermediate diploma in
the dimensions of career crafting and the scale in general, and in or of the
experience of fewer than 14 years versus the highest of 22 years on the
scale in general. Additionally, the results indicate that there is a positive,
statistically significant relationship between career adaptability, career
crafting, and subjective career success, and the highest correlation
between all variables and dimensions was shown with proactive career
reflection and curiosity as well as learning and development, respectively.
The results reached the possibility of predicting subjective career success
through career adaptability and career crafting, using the regression
equation. The results have been discussed and the appropriate
recommendations and suggestions have been made in order to contribute
to career guidance and career development.
