Work Volition Scale, WVS

Test scores

Higher total score reflects greater overall work volition.

• Volition – individuals' perceived capacity to make occupational choices; higher scores indicate a greater felt sense of freedom and control in choosing and changing one's job.

• Financial Constraints – perceived financial constraints on volition, such as limited finances or the need to provide for one's family; higher scores indicate greater perceived financial pressure limiting job choice.

• Structural Constraints – perceived structural constraints on volition, such as a lack of desirable jobs in one's area, the state of the economy, or other external factors beyond personal control; higher scores indicate a greater perceived external limitation on career choice.
