The Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) has been validated in several East Asian countries, but the measurement equivalence of its four dimensions and construct validity has not yet been evaluated in Japan. Results from Japanese (n = 298) and South Korean (n = 301) college students indicated good to excellent internal consistency estimates, and configural and metric invariance, confirming the factor structure across the groups. Item intercepts across samples, however, were scalar noninvariant, preventing comparison of mean scores. Results also provided support for criterion-related validity of CAAS scores. This model for measuring career adaptability can apply to the Japanese college context.

职业适应能力量表（CAAS）已在多个东亚国家进行了验证，但在日本尚未评估其四个维度和结构效度的测量当量。来自日本（n  = 298）和韩国（n  = 301）大学生的结果表明，内部一致性估计值达到了良好，而且结构和度量不变，这证实了各组的因素结构。但是，跨样本的项目截距是标量不变的，因此无法比较平均得分。结果也为CAAS评分的标准相关有效性提供了支持。这种衡量职业适应能力的模型可以应用于日本的大学环境。
