Availability for employment: what I would and would not accept

Abstract

ABSTRACT
In the present study is validated an evaluation instrument to use in the occupational guidance context and are determined the kindness criteria of the same. The sample was formed by 313 individual, 54,6% women, and the mean age in 27 years and middle. Possess a very heterogeneous training, of the same form that their occupational situation. The instrument presents a series of elements that intend to investigate on the availability of the individuals with respect to the search job. Is requested to the subject that I evaluated each alternative using a scale type Likert of seven points. The internal reliability levels (alpha of Cronbach = 0,79) and validity of construct (factorial analysis) result quite acceptable. In function of the results of the factorial analysis (six factors that explain 61,27% of the information) is accomplished an analysis of cluster that permits to describe different groups of subjects and to analyze the similarities and differences between them. Thereinafter, the results were validated through analysis discriminate you. The accomplished conglomerates analysis permits to distinguish between four groups of individuals: those that they assert to possess geographical availability, but not for work place that require physical effort; those which do not have geographical availability neither either on hourly of work little frequent; the persons that assert to have a total availability; and those which assure not to possess availability absolutely.
