The Psychology of Working Theory (PWT) was developed to complement existing vocational theories[1], in which work volition is a central construct. There is a lack of local measurement tools for Chinese university students’ work volition, which restricts the breadth and depth of research. Based on survey data from 960 college students nationwide, this study explored the cross-cultural validity of the WVS-SV. Through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, a measurement scale of work volition was developed involving two dimensions of volition and constraints, with a total of fourteen items. This study opens up new perspectives for work volition research, enriches the literature on careers guidance research, and provides an effective measurement tool for subsequent research on college students’ work volition.
