Abstract
This article aims to provide an
original, valid and reliable measure
of Midlife Career Stress
(MLCS). Based on extensive literature
review a conceptual
framework of MLCS was developed.
Using three different
samples (N=781) systematic
scale development process was
employed containing item-generation,
content adequacy, content
analysis, exploratory factor
analysis, confi rmatory factor
analysis, reliability and validity
assessment. The analysis provided
a validated multi-dimensional
structure of MLCS scale
with As piration-Achi evement
Gap (AAG), Generativity (Gen)
and Impediments to change (Imp)
as the three factors. HR managers,
OD professionals, psychologists
and researchers may find
the MLCS scale a useful tool for
measuring stress among midlife
managers.
