Resumo: | Volition is the individual perception of one’s ability to make decisions and career choices despite constraints by the external environment. It is a relevant concept in the Psychology Working Theory, which highlights the role played by contextual factors, social class, privilege, and freedom of choice in career building. This study’s objective was to adapt the Work Volition Scale to the Brazilian context and find initial validity evidence. The sample was composed of 584 Brazilian workers from different social strata. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and analysis of correlations indicated that the three-dimensional internal structure is adequate; invariance was found for sex, subjective social class, and the strategies used to apply the instrument. Furthermore, the results suggest a positive association between volition and job satisfaction, while financial constraints are negatively related to job satisfaction and satisfaction with life. The results contribute to studies on career and provide an instrument to be used in vocational and career counseling and research to support public policy from a more inclusive perspective. |

Trata-se de um conceito relevante na Teoria da Psicologia do Trabalhar em que se destacam os fatores contextuais e o papel que a classe social, privilégio e liberdade de escolha têm na construção de carreira dos trabalhadores. O objetivo deste estudo é adaptar e levantar evidências iniciais de validade para o Brasil da Work Volition Scale. Participaram desta pesquisa 584 trabalhadores brasileiros de diferentes extratos sociais, e os resultados apontaram, a partir de procedimentos fatoriais confirmatório, multigrupo e análise de correlações, uma adequação da estrutura interna de três dimensões, invariância para sexo, classe social subjetiva e forma de aplicação. Os resultados sugerem uma associação positiva para volição e satisfação com o trabalho, enquanto as restrições financeiras se relacionam negativamente com a satisfação com o trabalho e vida. O estudo avança com perspectiva inclusiva nos estudos de carreira e disponibiliza um instrumento para progresso de pesquisas, prática de orientação de carreira e políticas públicas no Brasil.FUCAPE Business Shool2022-02-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/69910.15728/bbr.2021.19.2.3Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 19 No. 2 (2022): Vol. 19 No. 2 (2022): March to April 2022; 153-170Brazilian Business Review; v. 19 n. 2 (2022): Vol. 19 No. 2 (2022): Março a Abril 2022; 153-1701808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
