摘要：
The Job Search Self-Efficacy (JSSE) scale is a widely used measure in the job search literature. To date, the psychometric properties of the JSSE have been based only on classical test theory. This study used item response theory approach to evaluate the JSSE’s psychometric properties to clarify its structure. Participants were 429 recent university graduates. Rasch analysis supported the unidimensional structure of each of the two dimensions of the JSSE. Internal consistency reliabilities were good. The response category functioned properly and the fit of the data to the Rasch model was good. Further, there was no noticeable differential item functioning across gender. The results provided evidence that the JSSE is a reliable measure for assessing job search self-efficacy beliefs among graduate job seekers. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG part of Springer Nature.
