Elena Lo Piccolo, Marco Giovann Mariani, Gerardo Petruzziello
Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using AMOS software affirmed the unidimensional structure of the scale with excellent model fit indices. Internal consistency was robust, and correlational analyses revealed a positive relationship between the Proactive Skill Development Scale and the PCAS, supporting external validity. These findings underscore the scale’s reliability and applicability across diverse contexts within the Italian hospitality industry, prompting further validation across different sectors and demographic groups. This research contributes to understanding the dynamics of proactive skill development and its impact on employability, providing a valuable tool for fostering a proactive learning culture in organisations.
