Psychometric Properties of the Job Search Behaviour Index (JSBI) in Recent University Graduates: A Rasch Analysis
Teye-Kwadjo, Enoch
International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, v23 n1 p249-270 Apr 2023
School-to-work transition is a crucial period in the life of young adults, when they begin to realise their career aspirations. Yet, only a few young Ghanaian graduates find jobs one year after completing school. Understanding job search behaviour of graduates in Ghana would require a valid and reliable measure. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Job Search Behaviour Index (JSBI) using Rasch analysis. Data were from 429 recent graduates. Rasch analysis showed that the JSBI-7 was unidimensional and locally independent. There was no noticeable differential item functioning across gender. JSBI-7 is a promising measure for use in Ghana.
