Young adults pursue a career path in the face of many barriers, such as financial worries and parental influences. Engaging in occupational behaviours enables them to know themselves and the world better, and also provides them with opportunities to have experiences that help them decide on a career. This study adapts the Occupational Engagement Scale-Student (OES-S) into Turkish and examines its psychometric properties in a university sample. Participants consisted of 304 university students (149 females and 155 males). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original unidimensional factor structure of the OES-S. For discriminant and concurrent validity, significant relationships were found between the OES-S and subscales of the Career Decision Scale. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was .80. The results indicated that the OES-S could be considered as a valid and reliable tool to measure the occupational engagement of young adults.

'My state is my father': youth unemployment experiences under the weak state welfare provisions of Turkey Celik, Kezban (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Young people are expected to establish a sense of personal identity and become progressively more independent of their parents, maturing into adults and citizens. Paid work is the key to this transition. Without this, youth would not be able to shift from childhood to adulthood and from dependence to independence. Among the other conditions that influence this transition, two are particularly important: the family and the welfare system. This study focuses on the unemployment experiences of youth in Turkey....
EFL teachers’ perceptions on the effectiveness of components of an EFL in-service training program / Yurttaş, Abdullah; Savaş, Perihan; Department of English Language Teaching (2014) Teachers have a central role to play in any school system and their competence and experience can make a big impact on the quality of schools in general.

With this in mind, the professional qualities and competencies of teachers are important indicators of quality education. This study investigated the perceptions of EFL teachers on the effectiveness of components and features of an in-house EFL INSET program. The stu...
