▼ The concept of employability has over time become a topic of interest among stakeholders of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) including graduates. This has long been established by labour market studies suggesting skills gap between the labour requirements and the outputs from the education system. Although specific Employability Skills Development Programme (ESDP) activities have been identified to address employability within HEIs, individual background given its influence on competence level and mass enrolment are posing an increasing challenge in the process. In view of the above, this thesis explores the topic of employability of HEIs graduates. Specifically, it examines the influence of entrepreneurship education and ESDP activities in enhancing employability and graduate competencies. To provide for the theoretical background the study used human capital, systems and trait theories. Using triangulation approach, data were collected from 22 employers, 54 management members in schools of education at HEIs level and 554 graduates (378 from all the study fields and specifically 176 teachers who studied entrepreneurship education). The categorization of graduates also reflected their employment status comprising of employed, self employed and the unemployed. Findings indicate that employability can be enhanced through individual’s engagement in ESDP activities, which subsequently foster one’s employability skills. Taking a course in entrepreneurship has also been shown to enhance both employability and the related skills. Parent’s level of education and occupation do not influence one’s employability. The beneficial impact of ideal employability therefore depends on the interplay between an individual’s own initiatives in enhancing employability skills, the study institution and field of study. Additionally, while some employers recruit from specific disciplines, others recruit from diverse fields of study when graduates demonstrate higher level of employability and the related skills. The study therefore developed a model that can facilitate the development of employability skills among graduates. Simulation results indicate that it takes 75 months (6 years and 3 months) for an individual to acquire the required level of employability skills. And to maintain the same, a minimum of six ESDP activities is mandatory, not only during individuals’ time at HEIs but also during one’s career and throughout the life time. The study implications both practical and theoretical are further discussed. The dissertation also offered some areas for further research.

▼ De relatie tussen medewerker en werkgever verandert ten gevolge van een veranderende arbeidsmarkt. Deze relatie wordt weergegeven in het psychologisch contract en omvat de impliciete wederzijdse verwachtingen tussen werkgever en medewerker omtrent rechten en plichten. De inhoud van het psychologisch contract verschuift van loyaliteit en baanzekerheid naar employability. Employability wordt geduid als het ontwikkelen en behouden van kwalificaties door medewerkers, om te overleven op een veranderende arbeidsmarkt. Uit literatuuronderzoek blijkt dat employability gelijkenissen vertoont met dimensies van het nieuwe psychologisch contract. Daarnaast blijkt dat disbalans in wederzijdse verwachtingen binnen het psychologisch contract negatieve gevolgen kan hebben voor de motivatie, betrokkenheid en werkprestaties. Met behulp van regressie en ANCOVA is onderzocht in hoeverre employability de voorkeur voor een nieuw psychologisch contract en balans in de wederzijdse verwachtingen binnen het psychologisch contract bepaalt; een wederkerige relatie bestaat tussen de voorkeur voor een nieuw of een oud psychologisch contract en balans in wederzijdse verwachtingen in het psychologisch contract. Uit dit onderzoek blijkt dat de mate van gepercipieerde employability van invloed is op de voorkeur voor een oud of nieuw psychologisch contract. De voorkeur voor een oud of nieuw psychologisch contract is geen voorspeller voor de aanwezigheid van balans in het psychologisch contract in algemene zin. Er vindt wel wederzijdse beïnvloeding plaats tussen de voorkeur voor het psychologisch contract en de balans in het psychologisch contract, zij het enkel voor de werkgeversverplichtingen. Tot slot is niet aangetoond dat de mate van gepercipieerde employability in combinatie met een voorkeur voor een oud psychologisch contract van invloed is op de balans in het psychologisch contract. De resultaten zijn consistent met de veranderende eisen die een veranderende werkomgeving aan werkgevers en medewerkers stelt, met ontwikkelingen richting het nieuwe psychologische contract en ondersteunt het belang van investeren in employability.

▼ Many migrants from non-English speaking backgrounds need to look for unskilled and low-skilled work in a range of industries in New Zealand. A number of barriers to employment have been identified, amongst which are numerous reports of migrants’ difficulties with English language. As many of these migrants speak languages which are very different from English they often have accents which native speakers find unfamiliar or hard to understand. The aim of this thesis was to identify which features of migrant pronunciation are more or less acceptable to employers, so that ESOL professionals can assist migrants more effectively when learning English. In my literature review, I begin by placing the need for pronunciation teaching in the context of New Zealand’s rapidly increasing ethnic and language diversity, and the barriers to migrant employment. I then describe how proficiency in pronunciation is measured, and how acceptability fits in to these measurements. In the following chapter I discuss what predictions can be made about the features which are likely to cause pronunciation difficulties for current groups of learners. Finally, I review research on the main levels of pronunciation (segmental, prosody and fluency) and how these can be expected to predict Acceptability. My research questions were: 1. Does pronunciation affect employers’ assessments of the acceptability of migrants for employment? 2. If so, which pronunciation features are the strongest predictors of the assessment? 3. Are there other employer or speaker factors which affect employer ratings of accept-ability? To address these questions, I obtained speech samples from 40 male and female migrants from a range of L1s. These were rated through an online survey by employers or human resource managers (n=95) from industries employing low-skilled workers in the main centres around New Zealand. In addition, ratings of the speakers’ pronunciation features were obtained from Experienced Raters to use as a baseline for analysis. The data from the online survey was then analysed to determine which features predicted the employers’ acceptability ratings. Three factors comprising a wide range of pronunciation features, segmental and suprasegmental (the latter divided into prosodic and fluency), were found to be highly significant in the employers’ ratings of acceptability, while most other factors were not. However, parts of the survey found that acceptability was significantly influenced by the employers’ assessment of whether the speaker was a hard worker, and by employers’ judgements about some of the speakers’ pronunciation features. In addition, judgements of acceptability differed from those of the other global measures of intelligibility, comprehensibility and accentedness, leading to a re-evaluation of what the ultimate goal of pronunciation teaching should be. While the Intelligibility Principle has been emphasised recently, it does not acknowledge the contextual nature of communication. This thesis concludes that Acceptability is a more useful… Advisors/Committee Members: Warren, Paul, Calhoun, Sasha, Angela, Joe.

▼ This dissertation investigates the motivations of undergraduate students for joining international internship programmes and their experiences. A public university located in Hong Kong is selected for case study. Focusing on experiential learning, a classical education theory, this dissertation explores the discussions of Dewey (1938), Lewin (1948), Piaget (1970, 1971) and Kolb (1984, 2006, 2014, 2017), who are regarded as the founders of the theory. In particular, this dissertation attempts to review the experiential learning models of Kolb (1984) and Jarvis (1987) and investigate the unique learning experience that students gained from their international internship participations. In line with the calls for internationalisation and the urges for enhancing university graduates’ employability skills in the recent decade, this dissertation seizes a unique opportunity to study the factors that determines students’ internship choices and the impact of international work experiences on enhancing employability skills and intercultural proficiency. Using mixed methods research including survey and semi-structured interviews by the author in Hong Kong, a group of undergraduate students, with or without subsidies granted by a third party, were found highly self-motivated to join international internships. Many participants enjoyed immersing themselves in another culture and work environment, in which they described the work cultures in places outside Hong Kong ‘more humane’, ‘fun’ and ‘less stressful’. Some of them said that they would consider moving to another country for career development in the future. However, the unforeseen challenges faced by the participants had disrupted their affected their willingness to commit and motivation to learn at work. This research concludes and argues that international internships provide opportunity of experiential learning experience and stimulate students’ thoughts about career planning, yet the classic models of experiential learning are insufficient to explain how learning occurs in an international workplace. The learning experiences in real contexts of international workplaces are far more complex and less positive than the situations described by the experiential learning research literature to do. In addition to knowledge transfer and practical skills development, cultural understandings and interactions have been found in the case study that students engaged in more critical self-reflection after travelled and stayed abroad for a while as an intern. On the whole, this research study serves as a resource for further studies on experiential learning, international internships and employability. It indicates that global work experiences not only enhance students’ employability, but also strengthen their adaptation to other cultures.

▼ This dissertation presents three separate studies designed to examine perspectives on employment for individuals with disabilities from employers and educators. First, a literature review was conducted on the studies published in the past decade to provide an update of employers' attitudes toward employees with disabilities. Investigated factors included studies? methodologies, research procedures, and employer characteristics. Research findings indicated that employers increasingly showed favorable attitudes toward individuals with disabilities and demonstrated willingness to hire workers with disabilities. Employers' previous experience with workers with disabilities was associated with positive employer attitudes. Secondly, 168 employers and 105 educators were surveyed regarding their perspectives on valued employability skills for entry-level employees with and without disabilities. The second study primarily focused on examining employers' perspectives of the most valued employability skill areas and specific employability skills as well as associated employer factors (i.e., respondents' genders and types of business/industry). Differences between employers' expectations for employees with disabilities and for those without disabilities were analyzed. The study results presented findings on important employability skills and discrepancies between rating for employees with and without disabilities were discussed, and reported the effects of respondent factors. Lastly, the third study investigated and compared both employers and educators' expectations on important employability skills. Study identified differences of ratings on important employability skills between employers and educators. Study also found out how they viewed differently on employability skills for employees with and without disabilities. To sum up, this dissertation revealed updated trends of employers' attitude toward workers with disabilities. It also identified critical employability skills viewed by employers and educators for entry-level workers with disabilities. The comparisons between employers and educators' perspectives provided information on what schools should include or emphasize in vocational preparation programs to prepare students with disabilities for future employment.

▼ This dissertation investigates the motivations of undergraduate students for joining international internship programmes and their experiences. A public university located in Hong Kong is selected for case study. Focusing on experiential learning, a classical education theory, this dissertation explores the discussions of Dewey (1938), Lewin (1948), Piaget (1970, 1971) and Kolb (1984, 2006, 2014, 2017), who are regarded as the founders of the theory. In particular, this dissertation attempts to review the experiential learning models of Kolb (1984) and Jarvis (1987) and investigate the unique learning experience that students gained from their international internship participations. In line with the calls for internationalisation and the urges for enhancing university graduates’ employability skills in the recent decade, this dissertation seizes a unique opportunity to study the factors that determines students’ internship choices and the impact of international work experiences on enhancing employability skills and intercultural proficiency. Using mixed methods research including survey and semi-structured interviews by the author in Hong Kong, a group of undergraduate students, with or without subsidies granted by a third party, were found highly self-motivated to join international internships. Many participants enjoyed immersing themselves in another culture and work environment, in which they described the work cultures in places outside Hong Kong ‘more humane’, ‘fun’ and ‘less stressful’. Some of them said that they would consider moving to another country for career development in the future. However, the unforeseen challenges faced by the participants had disrupted their affected their willingness to commit and motivation to learn at work. This research concludes and argues that international internships provide opportunity of experiential learning experience and stimulate students’ thoughts about career planning, yet the classic models of experiential learning are insufficient to explain how learning occurs in an international workplace. The learning experiences in real contexts of international workplaces are far more complex and less positive than the situations described by the experiential learning research literature to do. In addition to knowledge transfer and practical skills development, cultural understandings and interactions have been found in the case study that students engaged in more critical self-reflection after travelled and stayed abroad for a while as an intern. On the whole, this research study serves as a resource for further studies on experiential learning, international internships and employability. It indicates that global work experiences not only enhance students’ employability, but also strengthen their adaptation to other cultures.

▼ This thesis investigates the increased interest being shown by Australian universities and their business faculties in the development of employability skills for students. Many universities have demonstrated their commitment to translating such interest into practice by elaborating lists of ‘graduate attributes’ to enable the development of generic skills and by encouraging their staff to adopt specific pedagogical tools for such ends. This approach is informed by the assumption that the acquisition and transferability of such skills enhance students’ human capital and, therefore, their employability. This thesis aims to identify the limitations of this perspective and to present a different approach that will enable a critical examination of the notions of skill acquisition and transferability. This thesis draws particular attention to the use of group assignments in the university classroom, which have been assumed to develop students’ teamwork skills. To overcome definitional problems regarding the nature and characteristics of teamwork skills, this thesis draws upon three different sets of scholarship: employability, cooperative learning and teamwork. The use of in-depth interviews with three key stakeholders in the employability debate  students, academics and alumni  throws light on their experiences and perceptions. This triangulation is of particular importance as staff and alumni have been traditionally ignored in employability research. This approach can enhance our understanding of teamwork skill acquisition in the university classroom through group assignments, makes it possible to draw conclusions regarding the appropriateness of this tool for the development of teamwork skills and can illuminate the understated complexities surrounding skill transferability from this context to the workplace.The theoretical framework employed for this investigation is based on Bourdieu's notions of field, doxa, habitus and cultural capital. These concepts emphasise social context and they help to tease out the interstices between technical and social skills. This framework also provides a basis on which to acknowledge the roles of the three key stakeholders. Finally, the conceptual framework elaborated and applied by this thesis provides a way of overcoming the assumption that acquisition and transfer of skills is neutral and a result of objective ability, which informs the human capital perspective.

O objetivo deste estudo consiste em perceber se os trabalhadores, ao desenvolverem expetativas sobre a sua carreira na organização, estão a influenciar a sua perceção de empregabilidade. O presente estudo utilizou uma amostra de 525 participantes, tendo tido três hipóteses de investigação. A H1 consistia em perceber se a expetativa de carreira, na organização, tinha um efeito positivo sob a perceção de empregabilidade interna (EI). A H2 analisava se a expetativa de carreira na organização tinha um efeito positivo sob a perceção de empregabilidade externa (EE), sendo que para o estudo destas primeiras hipóteses foram elaboradas duas regressões lineares simples. E na H3 pretendia-se perceber se a expetativa de carreira tinha uma maior força preditora sob a perceção de EI do que sob a EE, tendo sido efetuado uma análise de regressão linear simples através de um modelo de análise de equações estruturais. As três hipóteses foram confirmadas. Os resultados apresentam que as expetativas de oportunidades de carreira tem um efeito positivo na EI e EE, quando os indivíduos sentem que existe a possibilidade de progredirem na carreira, por sua vez, sentem também que a organização os valoriza e por isso demonstram uma melhor perceção de EI. Os resultados também sugerem, numa perspetiva individual, que quando as organizações promovem oportunidades de progressão de carreira para os seus colaboradores estes, por sua vez, percecionam como benéfico para o seu nível de EI, ou seja, sentem que a organização os valoriza e que aumenta, desta forma, o seu valor para a mesma.

This study aimed to identify whether workers develop expectations about their career in the company are influencing their perceptions of employability. The present study used a sample of 525 participants, having three research hypotheses. The H1 was to realize whether the expectations of career in the organization company had a positive effect on the perception of internal employability (IE). The H2 analyzing the expectations of career in the organization had a positive effect on the perception of external employability (EE), being that for the study of these first hypotheses two simple linear regressions were conducted. And the H3 was intended to examine if the expectations of career had greater predictive power in the perception of IE than under the EE, simple linear regression analysis were performed using an analytical structural equations model. The three hypotheses were confirmed. The results show that the expectations of career opportunities have a positive effect on IE and EE, and when individuals feel that there is the chance to progress in their careers, in turn, also feel that the organization values them and therefore demonstrate a better perception of IE. The results also suggest an individual perspective such that when organizations promote career advancement, opportunities for their employees these, in turn, perceive that as beneficial to their level of IE, or feel that the company values them, thereby increasing their value for the company.

▼ This study examines how institutional actors interpret, influence and respond to skills availability in the labour market for graduates. It researches and draws lessons from the Maltese experience of managing graduate employability over three decades, focusing on the three fastest-growing economic sectors, namely, Accountancy, Pharmachem and ICT, each of which is the subject of a case study. The study investigates the interaction of governments, firms, higher education institutions and professional associations in identifying skills shortages and gaps, as well as in devising policy frameworks and skills regimes at national, sectoral and corporate levels. Drawing upon theories of employability and employee skills, first, there is development of an analytical framework to examine how these institutional actors affect the labour market, which informs the analysis of the three case studies. The qualitative research involved an interpretative analysis of key policy documents related to graduate employability and seventy in-depth interviews with interlocutors positioned in strategic policy making, senior management, academic, expert and professional leadership roles within government, regulators, major corporations, higher education institutions, training providers and professional associations. The data was thematically analysed. Twelve key themes emerged from the in-depth interviews, which included the following: use of different language; the meaning of employability; the value of credentials; the role of the University; perceptions; expectations; competitiveness; modes of training provision; labour mobility; placements and incentives; collaboration and skills gap. The institutional actors across the three focal sectors, namely, accountancy, pharmachem and ICT tended to emphasise some themes more than others, these having previously been identified in scholarly literature (Appendix 1). Both patterns and inconsistencies emerged from a comparison of the accountancy, pharmachem and ICT sectors. In so far as the labour market is concerned, the study revealed a lack of technical skills and major non-technical graduate skills gaps, specifically, in the aspects of communication, teamwork and problem-solving. A number of professional characteristics or behaviours were also identified as lacking with Accountancy, Pharmachem and ICT graduates, namely, attitude, confidence, drive, professional outlook, independent working, personality fit and a ‘can do’ approach. The study revealed the absence of permanent systemic connections between the formulation of national and sectoral economic strategies on the one hand, and higher education and training policies on the other. Consequently, state higher education institutions have been responding reactively to labour market needs, which could explain the endemic skills gap which the study found. The study concludes by discussing limitations and limits to this research as well as recommending policy initiatives and further research that could contribute to the science and practice of public…

▼ Skills development is a catalyst that can ensure economic growth in South Africa. However, this development needs to be aligned with industry requirements to ensure that appropriately skilled individuals embark on their careers with confidence and are able to contribute positively to the economy. Information communication technology’s (ICT's) ubiquity across all sectors of the economy has spurred demand for skills in this sector. Hence, it is important that graduates possess the necessary knowledge and skills to contribute to the company and economy in the shortest possible time frame. Whilst effort is focused on skills development strategies and policies, there is little evidence to suggest that these efforts produce the desired results of employable graduates. This has raised the question, “Do ICT graduates possess the employability characteristics that are desired by industry?” The aim of this study was to explore the graduate employability of ICT graduates with specific reference to the software development industry. Furthermore, the study aimed to establish whether the Sector Skills Plan of the Sector Education and Training Authority is aligned with the requirements of the software industry. Due to the expert input required in a study of this nature, a qualitative study was adopted which focused on data collection from experts. These individuals were responsible for their company’s graduate programme, which distinguished them as ideal sources of data that could be collected via interviews. Ten companies that employ ICT graduates in their graduate programme were purposefully selected to achieve the study’s objectives. The data collectively led to the conclusion that the graduates do not display the employability characteristics desired by industry. Although they possessed a sound theoretical foundation, they lacked the practical and skills components viewed as fundamental requirements in industry. This was also exaggerated by the graduates’ dearth of soft skills. However, the data analysis also highlighted the lack of collaboration between government and industry that further exacerbated the graduates’ inability to function effectively in industry. These findings culminated in several recommendations to ensure proper alignment and implementation of skills development and training strategies to produce well rounded graduates possessing the key requirements of industry. Underpinning these recommendations is the need for further collaboration between industry, government and the universities. Advisors/Committee Members: Singh, Anesh Maniraj. (advisor).
