In modern society many hierarchical and time-related career development models have been proposed. Key to these models is the need to go through a career choice process in a specific order and according to a pre-set timing in order to achieve a good career decision. Recent theories lend support to some doubts about the extent to which these models are actually able to comply with reality. A new framework of thought is proposed: a dynamic model for career choice development. At the centre of this model is the idea of arriving at a decision after a flexible and non-hierarchical development process. Some consideration is given to what is needed to test the model and on possible consequences for career guidance practice.Re´sume´. Un mode`le dynamique du de´veloppement du choix professionnel. Dans la socie´te´moderne, de nombreux mode`les hie´rarchiques ont e´te´propose´s qui inte´graient la dimension temporelle du de´veloppement de la vie professionnelle. Un e´le´ment cle´de ces mode`les est la ne´cessite´de passer par un processus de choix vocationnel dans un ordre spe´cifique donne´, qui obe´it a`de se´quences temporelles de´termine´es afin qu'une bonne de´cision vocationnelle soit prise. Les the´ories re´centes mettent quelque peu en doute la pertinence de ces mode`les par rapport a`la re´alite´. On propose ici un nouveau cadre de pense´e: un mode`le dynamique pour le de´veloppement du choix vocationnel. Au centre de ce mode`le il y a l'ide´e que l'on arrive a`une de´cision apre`s un processus de de´vel-oppement flexible et non-hie´rarchise´. Quelques re´flexions sont propose´es sur ce qu'il est ne´cessaire de faire pour tester le mode`le et sur les conse´quences possibles pour la pratique en matie`re de conseils d'orientation vocationnelle.Zusammenfassung. Ein dynamisches Modell der Berufsentscheidungsvorbereitung. In der modernen Gesellschaft wurden viele hierarchische und auf Zeitabla¨ufe bezogene Berufswahlmodelle vorgeschlagen. Kern dieser Modelle ist die Notwendigkeit, einen Berufswahlprozess in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge und nach einem bestimmten Zeitplan zu durchlaufen, um zu guten Berufswahlentscheidungen zu kommen. Aktuelle Theorien na¨hren allerdings die Zweifel daran, in welchem Ausmaß derartige Modelle der Realita¨t entsprechen. Ein neuer gedanklicher Rahmen wird hier vorgeschlagen: Ein dynamisches Berufswahl-Modell. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Modells steht die Idee, nach einem flexiblen und nicht-hierarchischen Entwicklungsprozess zu Berufswahlentscheidungen zu kommen. Es werden einige Ü berlegungen angestellt, unter welchen Voraussetzungen dieses Modell u¨berpru¨ft werden ko¨nnte, und was die mo¨glichen Konsequenzen fu¨r die Beratungspraxis sein ko¨nnten.Resumen.

A team of psychologists from 18 countries collaborated on the development and validation of a measure for career adaptability, which refers to an individual's resources for coping with current and anticipated tasks, transitions, and traumas in their occupational roles (Savickas, 1997). Considering the fact that labor markets around the world are increasingly turbulent as a result of global demographic, economic and psychological contract trends, it is clear that assessing and developing career adaptability is an important challenge for career scholars and counselors alike (Briscoe & Hall, 1999;Hall, 1996). In the first step of the project, an international form of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) was constructed.The CAAS-International Form 2.0 demonstrated excellent reliability and measurement equivalence across countries (Savickas & Porfeli, this issue). Its validity for use in each individual country, however, needs to be demonstrated by further analysis. The present article describes the development and pilot testing of the CAAS-Belgium in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. It reports on the scale's psychometric properties, including item statistics and internal consistency estimates. In addition, we compare the factor structure of the CAAS-Belgium to the multi-dimensional, hierarchical measurement model of the CAAS-International Form 2.0. Finally, we explore differences in career adaptability scores between Belgium and the other 12 countries that participated in the cross-cultural validation of the CAAS (i.e.
