Future time perspective, like self-efficacy, can be understood both generally and domain specifically. Keeping this in mind, the current study aimed at developing and validating a Career Future Time Perspective Scale. In Study 1, we utilized an exploratory factor analysis and the Rasch rating model to ensure the construct validity of a Career Future Time Perspective Scale. The scale consisted of three factors--opportunity, value, and connectedness--across 9 items. In Study 2, we showed that this three-factor oblique scale was the most representative structure of career future time perspective. Study 3 demonstrated that after controlling for the future time perspective measures posited by Shell and Husman and Carstensen and Lang, this scale could also be used to explain: (a) career decision-making self-efficacy, (b) career-indecision tendencies, and (c) career-searching behavior. In Study 4, the reliability of the scale was demonstrated.
