Wisdom is often recognized as a great resource in resolving complex problems, including challenges in one's career. However, current conversations on handling ambiguity in career development are disconnected from the wisdom literature, and a psychometrically sound measure of career wisdom is lacking. This article presents two studies that aimed to develop such a tool and evaluate its psychometric performance. Study 1 utilized a sample of workers (n = 349) from the United States to create and explore the factor structure of a measure called the Career Wisdom Scale. In Study 2, a sample of U.S. workers (n = 387) was tracked over 8 months to validate the Career Wisdom Scale by assessing its structural, convergent, predictive, and incremental validities. The results supported the psychometric soundness of the newly developed Career Wisdom Scale. Structurally, the results revealed a three-factor structure of career wisdom, which encompasses embracing ignorance, embracing intuition, and embracing vulnerability. Furthermore, the results indicated that career wisdom predicted various outcomes, including career satisfaction, life satisfaction, organizational career growth, psychological well-being, career adaptability, and work-life balance over and beyond personality traits and career decision anxiety. In conclusion, the present studies offer a valuable measure of career wisdom for both future research and practical application. Additionally, it underscores the importance of career wisdom in effectively managing career challenges that may lack clear solutions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

职业智慧量表的开发和初步验证：处理当代职业发展中不确定性的资源。


智慧通常被认为是解决复杂问题的重要资源，包括一个人职业生涯中的挑战。然而，目前关于处理职业发展中的模糊性的对话与智慧文献脱节，并且缺乏对职业智慧的心理测量合理衡量标准。本文介绍了两项旨在开发此类工具并评估其心理测量表现的研究。研究 1 利用来自美国的工人样本 （n = 349） 来创建和探索一种称为职业智慧量表的度量的因子结构。在研究 2 中，对美国工人样本 （n = 387） 进行了为期 8 个月的跟踪，以通过评估其结构、收敛、预测和增量效度来验证职业智慧量表。结果支持新开发的职业智慧量表的心理测量合理性。从结构上讲，结果揭示了职业智慧的三因素结构，其中包括拥抱无知、拥抱直觉和拥抱脆弱。此外，结果表明，职业智慧预测了各种结果，包括职业满意度、生活满意度、组织职业发展、心理健康、职业适应性以及工作与生活的平衡，而不是人格特质和职业决策焦虑。总之，本研究为未来的研究和实际应用提供了有价值的职业智慧衡量标准。此外，它还强调了职业智慧在有效管理可能缺乏明确解决方案的职业挑战方面的重要性。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
