Results confirmed a one higher-order factor structure with four first-order factors, the scale was found to be invariant across gender. The findings advanced the general claim of CPC-12 to be suitable for applica-tion in multiple contexts, including sport, education, vocational guidance, as well as typical and atypical work settings.

Abstract
he Compound PsyCap Scale (CPC-12) was developed by Lo-renz et al. (2016) to broaden the application of psychological capital, since usually tied to workplace settings; however, no further verification of its suitability across different samples was performed. The present work in-vestigated the psychometric properties of an Italian adaptation of the CPC-12 with the aim of verifying its applicability in samples where the item wording of the existing measures of PsyCap might not be suitable (e.g., students and unemployed people). Study 1 (n= 450) examined the factor structure of the scale. Study 2 (n= 255) advanced the previous CPC-12 validation by testing its measurement equivalence across gender through MCFA. Results confirmed a one higher-order factor structure with four first-order factors, the scale was found to be invariant across gender. The findings advanced the general claim of CPC-12 to be suitable for applica-tion in multiple contexts, including sport, education, vocational guidance, as well as typical and atypical work settings.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
