The cross-cultural validity of a modified version of psychology of working theory (PWT; Duffy, Blustein, Diemer, & Autin, 2016) was tested in samples of United States (n = 346) and Korean (n = 319) undergraduates. Participants completed measures of economic resources, work volition, career adaptability, occupational engagement, and future decent work perceptions. The results illustrated measurement invariance between the two samples. Thus, the hypothesized models were tested separately in the two samples and the results were compared regarding parameter significance, direction, and magnitude. Overall, the modified model generally fit well with both samples. However, there were notable cross-cultural differences: economic resources significantly predicted work volition, occupational engagement, and future decent work perceptions only in the United States sample and the future decent work perceptions and occupational engagement were negatively associated in the Korean sample. Explanations about the cross-cultural differences and invariances were provided and practical and research implications were discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

美国和韩国大学生工作理论心理学的跨文化比较。

在美国 (n = 346) 和韩国 (n = 319) 本科生样本中测试了修改版工作理论心理学 (PWT; Duffy、Blustein、Diemer 和 Autin，2016 年) 的跨文化有效性。参与者完成了对经济资源、工作意愿、职业适应性、职业参与和未来体面工作看法的测量。结果说明了两个样品之间的测量不变性。因此，在两个样本中分别测试了假设模型，并在参数显着性、方向和幅度方面对结果进行了比较。总体而言，修改后的模型通常与两个样本都拟合得很好。然而，存在显着的跨文化差异：经济资源显着预测工作意愿、职业参与、和未来体面劳动认知仅在美国样本中，而未来体面劳动认知和职业参与在韩国样本中呈负相关。提供了有关跨文化差异和不变性的解释，并讨论了实际和研究意义。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
