The purpose of this study is to develop an Career Maturity scale for Korean high- school students and to test construct validation through covariance structure analysis. First, as to research the constructed factors which to develop an Career Maturity scale we reviewed related documents and inventories, then defined the concept of Career Maturity and the theological constructive factors. They were included in 2 components of attitude and cognitive abilities for career maturity accordingly in 6 sub-components. 249 high school students were analysed at pilot test. Based on factor analysis and item analysis, 108 items were selected to final test items. 1,714 students were conducted final test. Second, in order to examine the best fit construct model for career maturity, we assumed conceptual model for career maturity, model Ⅱ, base on CMI model(Crites,1978) and proposed competing models base on the related studies. As a result of covariance structure analysis(AMOS), we confirmed 3rd order construct model of career maturity was the best adequate through the indices of best fit(TLI, NFI, CFI>.90, RMSEA=.0814). In addition, generalizability of this model was confirmed through, cross- validation testing which showed that this model was fitted in a cross-validation samples.
