A adaptabilidade de carreira é um construto psicossocial que se refere aos recursos do indivíduo para lidar com as tarefas de transição de carreira. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se há ...diferenças nos quatro recursos de adaptabilidade de carreira em relação ao sexo, escolaridade, situação laboral e relações de trabalho. A amostra contou com 890 participantes, com idades entre 18 e 67 anos (M = 33,98; DP = 10,49), sendo 66,4% do sexo feminino. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e a Escala de Adaptabilidade de Carreira. Os resultados sugerem que há diferenças significativas em relação as variáveis abordadas, com exceção do sexo. Pessoas com maior nível de escolaridade, que estejam empregadas e que possuam uma relação de trabalho como trabalhadores liberais, apresentam maiores níveis de adaptabilidade de carreira. Desta forma, este estudo indica que a adaptabilidade de carreira está relacionada positivamente com desfechos da carreira, o que sugere que intervenções capazes de promover adaptabilidade de carreira, poderão estar indiretamente contribuindo para uma maior empregabilidade dos clientes.
