MOB-BG
Mobilitätsskala
Short abstract
The MOB-BG measures the geographical and occupational mobility readiness each with 10 items. Reliability: Cronbach's Alpha was Alpha = .68-.91. Validity: The expected two factors could be identified. Both mobility scales correlated with each other in the construction sample to r = .54 and with Dette (2001) to r = .17. The readiness for professional mobility was significantly less pronounced among future high school teachers than among diploma students and future vocational school teachers. The readiness for geographical mobility was significantly more pronounced among diploma students than among prospective teachers. In line with expectations, the tolerance of uncertainty predicted both the readiness for professional mobility and geographical mobility in addition to the study objective. In a complex path model for the prediction of different facets of the willingness to be mobile among secondary school students, the tolerance of uncertainty again proved to be a significant predictor of the willingness to be professionally mobile. Moreover, if the students' occupational goals were already pronounced and if vocational training was already planned, then the occupational mobility readiness was low. The more positive the attitudes of parents and peers towards geographic mobility, the more pronounced the individualism and the weaker the collectivism, the more pronounced the students' willingness to be geographically mobile.
