▼ 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.

▼ Abstract
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.

▼ Het ABC College streeft naar kwaliteit, professionaliteit en duurzame inzetbaarheid. De organisatie is zoekende naar de wijze waarop medewerkers kunnen worden ondersteund in het blijven professionaliseren, ontwikkelen en ontplooien. Parallel hieraan heeft een herontwerp van de organisatie plaatsgevonden, waarbij een nieuwe laag leidinggevenden is gevormd. Voorheen stuurden onderwijsmanagers en teamleiders de docenten aan. Nu ligt de leiding in handen van onderwijsleiders. De onderwijsleiders zijn degenen die tussen branchedirectie en werkvloer staan. Het is aan de nieuwe leidinggevenden om met hun team te spreken over ontwikkeling.
Middels kwalitatief onderzoek is onderzocht op welke wijze de organisatieverandering en de wijze van leidinggeven en leiding nemen een bijdrage kunnen leveren aan de ontwikkeling van medewerkers van het ABC. Hoopvolle verwachtingen ten aanzien van een professionaliseringsslag zijn er. Echter, de veranderingen in de organisatiestructuur maken de organisatie onzeker en afwachtend. Leidinggevenden en medewerkers lijken te vervallen in oude gewoontes, voornamelijk ingegeven door de dagelijkse drukte. De nadruk wordt gelegd op de ontwikkeling en de rol van leidinggevenden. Er is minder aandacht voor ontwikkeling van de teams of individuele medewerkers. Een culturele omslag is nodig om sturing op ontwikkeling vanaf de werkvloer mogelijk te maken.

Gepercipieerde Employability en het Psychologisch Contract in een veranderende werkomgeving.

▼ 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.

▼ Over 76 million people between the ages of 65 and 70
years old are making the decision to continue to work or retire.
The factors that contribute to professional women’s
employability
after age 65 who continue to work are important to understand. Many
women as they approach age 65 may want to know this information as
once you retire, it may be hard to turn back. Also, helping
professions in gerontology and other related areas may want to
encourage women to continue to work instead of just encouraging
them only to retire. Work can help individuals stay healthier and
mentally sharp and it takes physical health and mental sharpness to
stay employed. There is a mutual benefit.
An exploratory
qualitative research design was selected to understand the
perceptions of how professional women continue to stay employed
beyond age 65. Thirteen women (N=13) were interviewed to elucidate
specific factors that support delayed retirement. Since longevity
and vitality are increasing, extending work life can help
individuals age well. Results showed that five themes emerged after
an in-depth analysis of the individual interviews, all of which
greatly affect each woman’s
employability after 65 years of age.
These themes discovered were: (a) Enjoyment of Work, (b) Physical
Health and Mental Sharpness, (c) Relationships with Work
Colleagues, (d) Personal Resilience, and (e) Continuous Learning
and Deep Relevant Expertise.

▼ 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…

▼ 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.

▼ Dit onderzoek beschrijft verschillende factoren die van invloed zijn op de duurzame inzetbaarheid van medewerkers binnen de provincie Overijssel. Hierbij wordt duurzame inzetbaarheid gezien als de bereidheid en het vermogen tot mobiliteit. Met behulp van online enquêtes is onderzocht in hoeverre de persoonsgebonden factoren, contextgebonden factoren en achtergrondkenmerken van medewerkers samenhangen met de bereidheid en het vermogen van medewerkers om mobiel te zijn. Uit de gegevens is naar voren gekomen dat weinig medewerkers bereid zijn tot mobiliteit. Medewerkers die deze bereidheid wél hebben, hechten veel belang aan de toekomstige inhoud van hun werk, hebben veel inzicht in loopbaan- en mobiliteitsmogelijkheden en zijn met naasten over dit onderwerp in gesprek. Er wordt beredeneerd dat deze medewerkers zich bewust zijn van hun mogelijkheden en wensen in de toekomst. Medewerkers die weinig bereid zijn tot mobiliteit hebben dit bewustzijn minder. Daarnaast zijn er nog groepen medewerkers die minder in staat zijn tot mobiliteit en hier weinig kansen zien. Dit zijn medewerkers die lager zijn opgeleid, een hogere leeftijd hebben, lang bij de provincie in dienst zijn en/of qua competenties het gevoel hebben dat zij op de juiste plek zitten. Het meest nuttig lijkt het om te investeren in de bereidheid van medewerkers om mobiel te zijn. Investeren in het vermogen van medewerkers om andere werkzaamheden te verrichten heeft niet heel veel zin, zolang zij niet willen veranderen.

▼ High school students may not be aware of the specific
employability skills needed in the workforce, and therefore may not be adequately prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation. The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived importance of 30
employability skills as determined by agriculture-related employers and high school agriculture students in Nevada County. Thirty skills were ranked using a Likert type scale ranging from 0 (no importance) to 3 (most important). The goal was to use the collected data to determine which
employability skills should be taught within a high school agriculture course in order to best prepare high school agriculture students for the workplace. Employers ranked
employability skills related to personal and social behaviors of greatest importance. Students perceived
employability skills related to time management and deadlines as most important. Both employers and high school students ranked most of the
employability skills as moderately important.

▼ Varsel på arbetsplats är en förvarning om eventuell uppsägning. Syftet var att undersöka de gemensamma komponenter personer som blivit varslade upplevt med 3 frågeställningar. Tretton semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med 8 kvinnor och 5 män i åldern 27-69 år från olika stora städer i Sverige. Resultatet av en tematisk analys av intervjuerna gav fem teman: ekonomins påverkan, funderingar inför framtiden, arbetsplatsens betydelse, individens anställbarhet och social trygghet. Resultatet visade också att beroende på vart respondenterna var i livet och vilka förutsättningar de hade tog de varsel på olika sätt. I det stora hela såg de flesta positivt på händelserna i efterhand. Diskussionen tog upp skillnaderna mellan ålder och hur stor betydelse ekonomin har för personerna. Förslag inför framtida forskning är till för att arbetsgivare ska kunna förebygga fysisk och psykisk ohälsa hos sina anställda vid varsel. Större undersökningar borde göras för att fylla luckorna.

▼ 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 thesis aims to find the factors that affects perceived employability of graduates that been involved in student associations. In addition, finding the potential relationship between perceived employability and student associations. We are applying a mixed method approach on our research, with the usage of both interviews and a survey as well a theoretical framework consisting of previous literature regarding the components of the topic. The reasoning behind a mixed method approach was to be able to create a triangulation and cross-check the answers. Overall, the research points out the potential positive relationship between student associations and perceived employability and factors found through the data collection. Leadership is one category that was highlighted in the primary data, but not found in theory. Therefore, we suggest further research about leadership and its effect on employability as well as its relationship to student association.

▼ The objectives of the study were firstly to determine the relationship between
employability attributes (measured by the
Employability Attributes Scale), career adaptability (measured by the Career-Adapt Abilities Scale) and retention factors (measured by the Retention Factor Scale), and, secondly, to determine whether employees from different age, gender, race, tenure and job level groups differ significantly in their levels of
employability attributes, career adaptability and retention factors. A cross-sectional quantitative, correlational research design was followed. The non-probability sample consisted of 321 permanently employed salaried employees in a South African automotive manufacturing company. Descriptive statistics, correlations, structural equation modelling and regressions were used for data analysis. The data analysis revealed significant associations between the career metacompetencies and retention factors. In addition,
significant differences were found between age, gender, race, tenure and job level groups.

▼ 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…

The Importance of a Strong Employability Culture
The relationship between employability culture, employability orientation, career satisfaction and turnover intention.

▼ Organizations are increasingly seeking direct, measurable and positive returns on investment when it comes to professional development programs, where increased employee output and performance should outweigh program investment. However, indirect positive effects from these development programs are often not taken into account. This study analyzes the effect of ‘
employability culture’ (company investment in employee development) and ‘
employability orientation’ (an employee’s motivation to develop himself) on career satisfaction and turnover intention. Anonymous web-based questionnaires were completed by 163 participants, measuring perceived
employability culture,
employability orientation, career satisfaction and turnover intention, as well as gender, age, education level, organizational tenure and organization size. A multiple regression analysis shows a significant positive relationship between
employability culture and career satisfaction and a significant negative relationship between
employability culture and turnover intention. An interaction analysis shows no significant moderation on these relationships by
employability orientation. Furthermore, a Sobel test and bootstrapping analysis show that the relationship between
employability culture and turnover intention was not significantly mediated by career satisfaction. The results correspond with conclusions in previous studies, confirming the importance of creating a strong
employability culture within organizations.

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto Universitário
A situação sócio-económica que vivemos, é cada vez mais aflitiva. As taxas de desemprego
não param de aumentar, sendo certo que o emprego para a vida acabou. A procura de
empregabilidade por parte dos trabalhadores tem vindo assumir-se como uma alternativa à
segurança de emprego. Esta investigação pretende estudar a Resiliência e a sua relação com a
empregabilidade percepcionada. Os nossos resultados através de uma amostra de 252 pessoas,
demonstram que a resiliência é preditora da perceção de empregabilidade e em particular com
o valor percepcionado pelo trabalhador para a organização onde desenvolve actividade
(empregabilidade interna). Quanto à relação da Resiliência com o valor percepcionado pelo
trabalhador no mercado de trabalho em geral (empregabilidade externa) não foi encontrada
associação significativa.
The current social and economic situation in which we live in, is increasingly distressing.
Unemployment rates are constantly increasing, and the prospect of a job for life is over.
Demand for employability by workers has positioned itself as an alternative to job security.
This research aims to analyze resilience and its relationship with perceived employability. The
results using a sample of 252 people, shows that resilience is a predictor of perceived
employability, in particular the value perceived by the employee to the organization in which
he develops his activity (internal employability). As for the relationship between resilience
with the value perceived by the worker in the general labor market (external employability)
there was no significant association.

Den självupplevda anställningsbarheten inom en gränslös karriär : En kvalitativ studie.

(more)
▼ Bakgrund: Teorier kring den gränslösa karriären har vuxit fram för att förklara de karriärer som är icke-linjära samt ej utspelar sig inom en och samma organisation genom hela karriären. Den stora skillnaden i den nya teorin är att individen har tagit över ansvaret för sin karriärutveckling från organisationen. Inom dessa teorier finns begreppet anställningsbarhet som beskriver den potentiella förmåga eller möjlighet en individ har att ta en ny riktning i karriären. Syfte: Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka hur individer som innehar en gränslös karriär upplever anställningsbarheten. Då majoriteten av den forskning som har gjorts inom fältet är av en organisatorisk utgångspunkt anser vi att det är motiverat att genomföra studien ur ett individperspektiv för att på så sätt täcka de kunskapsluckor som återfinns inom fältet. Metod: I studien använde vi oss av en kvalitativ metod, via intervjuer där respondenternas subjektiva upplevelse stod i centrum. Totalt genomfördes fyra intervjuer i studien med individer med karriärer som faller under definitionen för en gränslös karriär med hjälp av ett bekvämlighetsurval. Slutsats: Respondenterna ser enbart två av dimensionerna inom anställningsbarhet som delaktiga i deras egen anställningsbarhet, humankapital samt karriärsidentitet. Vidare kan förmågan att få en potentiell anställning delas upp i två processer: möjlighetsrealiserande & möjlighetsskapande. De dimensionerna som de tolkar som anställningsbarhet faller under båda processerna, medan det sociala kapitalet endast ses som en möjlighetsskapande process. Vi har även funnit att begreppet anställningsbarhet är bristfälligt i förhållande till teorin. Begreppet bör tydligare inkludera dels den möjlighetsskapande processen och dels förmågan att bibehålla en nuvarande anställning.
Background: Theories regarding the boundaryless career emerged to explain career paths that are not linear or confined to a single organisation throughout an individual’s career. The big difference within this new theory is that the individual takes responsibility for their career development instead of the organisation. The central term within these theories is employability, which describes the potential ability an individual has to change their career path. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate how the individuals within a boundaryless career perceive their employability. Since most of the research within this area is conducted from an organisational point of view, there is a lack of research from an individual’s perspective and our aim is to increase understanding in this area. Method: We used a qualitative research approach in the study to capture the respondent’s subjective opinions about employability through the use of interviews. In total four interviews were conducted with individuals who fall within the definition of a boundaryless career, by use of a convenience sample. Conclusion: The respondent’s view two dimensions that affect employability and these are career…

▼ Financial crisis and the European debt crisis impact not only the livelihood and economic field in America and Europe, but also the economy and various industries all over the world. Economic crisis causes the rise of unemployment and makes the working conditions worse and worse. In such threatened conditions which employees are in the unstable working environment with continued employment pressure and powerlessness, employees feel job insecurity.
Employeesâ attitudes, motivation and behavior are strongly affected by the work performed eight hours or even longer everyday. Job characteristics influence the workflow, work performance, and the psychology of employees. This study investigates how job characterisc,
employability, and substitutability afftect job insecurity individually among different levels of employees in each industry as well as the mediating effects of
employability and substitutability.
124 valid questionnaires are collected. After using Pearson correlation and regression to analyze the data, the findings of this study are as follingï¼
1. That three core dimensions, task significance, autonomy, and feedback of job characteristic has a significant negative relation with job insecurity.
2. That four core dimensions, skill variety, task identity, task significance, and feedback of job characteristic has a significant positive relation with
employability.
3. That three core dimensions, skill variety, task identity, and task significance of job characteristic has a significant negative relation with substitutability.
4. That
employability and substitutability has no great impact on job insecurity so the mediating effects of
employability and substitutability can not be confirmed.

▼ Dit onderzoek beschrijft en verklaart verschillende individuele en organisatiegebonden factoren die volgens werknemers van de gemeente Zwolle van belang zijn voor hun
employability.
Employability wordt hier gedefinieerd als de bereidheid en het vermogen van een individu om nu en in de toekomst diverse werkzaamheden en functies op de arbeidsmarkt uit te voeren, de bereidheid en het vermogen de voorwaarden hiervoor te ontwikkelen, deze aan te wenden en zich in te zetten en betrokken te zijn bij het realiseren van de doelen van de organisatie, waar hij of zij werkzaam is. De organisatie moet de mogelijkheden hiervoor creëren en de bereidheid en het vermogen stimuleren om ontwikkeling van het individu mogelijk te maken. Met behulp van semi-gestructureerde interviews is onderzocht welke individuele en organisatiegebonden factoren volgens de werknemers zelf bijdragen aan hun
employability en welke redenen zij daarvoor geven. Uit de gegevens blijkt dat alle geïnterviewde medewerkers bewust bezig zijn met hun
employability. De belangrijkste organisatiegebonden factoren die van invloed zijn, zijn de arbeidsverhoudingen, de arbeidsinhoud en het HRM-beleid. De belangrijkste individuele factoren zijn de motivatie, het welzijn (de balans tussen arbeid en privéleven) en de gezondheid. De levensfase speelt slechts een rol in de opleidingsbereidheid. Omdat de relatie met de leidinggevende een cruciale rol lijken te spelen in het afstemmen van aspecten van
employability tussen medewerker en organisatie, verdient “het gesprek” over
employability wellicht extra aandacht teneinde de persoon-organisatie fit te verbeteren.

▼ De economische recessie in Nederland heeft een negatieve impact op de werkgelegenheid onder recent afgestudeerde mbo’ers. Nu arbeidscarrières steeds meer grenzeloos worden, dient men voldoende ‘employable’ te zijn op de arbeidsmarkt. Daarom is bij mbo-leerlingen onderzoek gedaan naar de relaties tussen enerzijds burnout en bevlogenheid en anderzijds
employability en prestatie. Verwacht werd dat neuroticisme en meegaandheid bij deze relaties als moderator zouden optreden. Om dit te toetsen zijn in totaal bij 219 mbo-leerlingen vragenlijsten afgenomen. Zoals verwacht bleek burnout negatief gerelateerd te zijn aan zowel
employability als prestatie. Bevlogenheid bleek, zoals verwacht, juist positief gerelateerd te zijn aan
employability en prestatie. Voor neuroticisme werd geen modererende invloed op de relaties gevonden, slechts een bufferende werking op de relaties tussen burnout en zowel
employability als prestatie. Meegaandheid bleek een modererende invloed te hebben op de relaties tussen zowel bevlogenheid als burnout en prestatie. Uit exploratieve toetsing bleek dat openheid eenzelfde effect op deze relaties heeft. Meer specifiek onderzoek is nodig om mbo-leerlingen beter voor te kunnen bereiden op hun overgang naar de arbeidsmarkt.

employability door bijvoorbeeld het volgen van een opleiding kan een werknemers carrière positief beïnvloeden. Er is onderzocht welke rol kwalificaties uit het Nederlands Kwalificatieraamwerk (NLQF) spelen binnen de werknemers interne en externe
employability. De hoofdvraag van dit onderzoek luidt: Wat is de waarde van de bij interne opleidingen behaalde kwalificaties uit een kwalificatieraamwerk voor de interne
employability en de externe
employability van een werknemer? De verwachting was dat de interne
employability niet zou stijgen door de NLQF-kwalificaties, maar de externe
employability wel. Er zijn 17 interviews afgenomen bij Defensiemedewerkers waarvan acht een NLQF-kwalificatie bezatten, vijf medewerkers binnen interne sollicitatieprocedures werkzaamheden uitvoerden en vier medewerkers uitstromend personeel begeleidden. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de verwachtingen omtrent de interne
employability en externe
employability worden bevestigd. Voor de interne
employability lijken NLQF-kwalificaties geen meerwaarde, omdat interne kwalificaties de interne werkgever dezelfde informatie geeft als NLQF-kwalificaties. Voor de externe
employability kunnen NLQF-kwalificaties een meerwaarde hebben, doordat het opleidingsniveau inzichtelijk wordt gemaakt voor externe werkgevers . Door de sociale status van NLQF-kwalificaties te stimuleren, kunnen de NLQF-kwalificaties in waarde stijgen voor de werknemers
employability.

▼ Het is tegenwoordig belangrijk om als organisatie innovatief te zijn. Duurzaam inzetbare medewerkers zijn hiervoor onmisbaar. Om duurzaam inzetbaar te zijn, moet een medewerker blijven ontwikkelen, door bijvoorbeeld trainingen te volgen. Leerintentie is een goede voorspeller voor de deelname aan leeractiviteiten. Dit onderzoek gaat daarom in op de vraag: ‘Welk(e) werkkenmerk(en) kan/kunnen met name de leerintentie van medewerkers beïnvloeden?’. In het onderzoek worden de 21 werkfactoren meegenomen, zoals geformuleerd door Morgeson en Humphrey (2006). De vragenlijst is ingevuld door 285 medewerkers, met een gemiddelde leeftijd van 45 jaar. Eerst zijn correlaties berekend tussen werkkenmerken en leerintentie, vervolgens is een meervoudige regressieanalyse uitgevoerd. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de werkkenmerken: taaksignificantie; informatieverwerking; probleem oplossen; vaardighedenvariëteit; sociale steun; interactie buiten de organisatie; feedback van anderen; ergonomie; werkomstandigheden significant positief correleren met leerintentie. Uit de meervoudige regressieanalyse blijkt alleen nog vaardighedenvariëteit significant positief te correleren met leerintentie B = .37, SD B = .17, 95% CI [.03, .69]. Uit dit onderzoek wordt geconcludeerd dat meerdere werkkenmerken belangrijk zijn voor de
leerintentie van medewerkers. Wanneer die werkkenmerken echter aanwezig zijn, levert vooral vaardighedenvariëteit een positief significante bijdrage aan leerintentie. Het is dus belangrijk dat werkgevers zorgen voor voldoende vaardighedenvariëteit in banen.

▼ Bij een tekort aan ontwikkelingsmogelijkheden bestaat de kans dat leerkrachten op zoek gaan naar een andere baan. Met het oog op het aankomende lerarentekort in het basisonderwijs is dit ongewenst. In dit onderzoek wordt bekeken in hoeverre leerkrachten de intentie hebben om te vertrekken van hun huidige werkplek, hoe de perceptie van het leerklimaat in de school is en hoe de leerintentie van de leerkracht deze relatie medieert. Daarnaast wordt invloed verwacht van leeftijd, werkervaring, geslacht en opleidingsniveau. Met vragenlijsten hebben 90 leerkrachten van 20 openbare basisscholen in Utrecht deelgenomen aan het onderzoek. In deze groep bleek het mediatie-effect niet aanwezig te zijn. Leerklimaat had geen invloed op leerintentie en leerintentie had geen invloed op vertrekintentie. De relatie tussen leerklimaat en vertrekintentie was wel significant, zowel voor de lange- als de korte termijn. Op de korte termijn zorgt het positieve leerklimaat voor een lage vertrekintentie, op de lange termijn voor een hoge vertrekintentie. Dit wekt de indruk dat leerkrachten het idee hebben zich op de korte termijn voldoende te kunnen ontwikkelen in hun huidige baan, maar na verloop van tijd op zoek willen naar een andere werkplek. Verder werden significante verschillen gevonden tussen de vertrekintentie op de korte termijn van hoger- en lager opgeleiden en oudere werknemers en hun collega’s vanaf 30 jaar.

▼ Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer-based systems designed to store, organize, analyse and present spatial data. They can be used to help understand and answer a wide variety of problems in fields such as environmental management, resource planning and retail location and development. This thesis aims to explore the GIS education provided within university Geography departments (or units) in both the UK and Turkey. The main topics for investigation are the nature and scale of the GIS provision, the principal characteristic of the teaching, learning and assessment processes and also graduate employability – how far the courses and their students satisfied employer needs. Although there is a substantial literature on GIS education, this thesis is different for two reasons. First, because it takes a more holistic approach to examining many aspects of GIS education within a number of case study departments. Second, because it covers two different countries, which can then be compared. With reference to the research methods, this PhD examined ten case study departments, six from the UK and four from Turkey. The data collected were derived from a combination of student questionnaires, staff interviews, teaching observations and reading course documents. Both qualitative and quantitative were used to examine the data. In the UK the main types of provision were found to be some 90 GIS named modules within Geography undergraduate programmes, 22 GIS Masters degrees and 7 UG GIS programmes. In Turkey, where engineering is the leading GIS discipline, there were 61 modules in undergraduate Geography, two Geography-based Masters programmes and no GIS undergraduate degrees. In the UK the great majority of GIS II provision in Geography degrees takes the form of modules which are optional, with the result that most Geographers obtain only a very limited understanding of GIS and its applications. By contrast, in Turkey, the GIS modules are typically compulsory and the subject therefore occupies a more central and prominent position in the curriculum. In both countries, more than 70 percent of students said they were satisfied with their GIS teaching (with no statistically difference in satisfaction levels related to the gender or year of study). Although this is a positive finding, there were some weakness and disappointments. With respect to curriculum design and delivery, insufficient attention was given to use of Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) and in both countries students complained about too much theory and about teaching which was too heavily based on lectures and not sufficiently active and student centred (especially in Turkey). GIS staff rarely took part in teaching related CPD and GIS was little used outside the formally designated modules. GIS employer opinions were varied on the quality of graduates but common criticisms were that they lacked the business awareness and in Turkey had often poor standards of English. The links between academia and the GIS profession were patchy. The thesis ends with over…

▼ Dit onderzoek gaat over de relatie tussen zelfwaardering en employability en het mediërende effect van motivatie bij werklozen. Employability wordt gedefinieerd als loopbaanonderzoek en -planning, loopbaanidentiteit, sociaal en menselijk kapitaal (Koen, 2013). Verondersteld wordt dat eigenwaarde een positieve relatie met deze dimensies van employability laat zien. Als mediator wordt motivatie voor werkhervatting genomen. Deze wordt onderscheiden in autonome en gecontroleerde motivatie, gebaseerd op de Zelf Determinatie Theorie (ZDT) van Deci en Ryan (2002). Dit model geeft aan dat autonome motivatie, waarbij werklozen zelf graag weer willen werken, duidt op een sterke zelfdeterminatie en gecontroleerde motivatie, waarbij werklozen zich gedwongen voelen tot werkhervatting, op een zwakke zelfdeterminatie duidt.
De onderzoeksgroep bestaat uit 90 werklozen die een re-integratietraject volgden. De deelnemers hebben, gedurende activiteiten van het re-integratiebedrijf, de vragenlijsten ingevuld.
Zelfwaardering is gemeten met de Nederlandstalige Rosenberg Self-EsteemScale. Employability is gemeten met de schalen van Koen, Klehe en Van Vianen (2013) gebaseerd op het model van Fugate, Kinicki en Ashforth (2004). De kwaliteit van motivatie (autonoom en gecontroleerd) voor werkhervatting zijn gemeten met schalen die samengesteld zijn door Koen (2013) gebaseerd op de JS-SRQ.
Er zijn significant positieve verbanden gevonden tussen eigenwaarde en loopbaanplanning, sociaal en menselijk kapitaal. Verder zijn er significante mediërende effecten gevonden van autonome motivatie voor werkhervatting op de verbanden tussen eigenwaarde enerzijds en loopbaanonderzoek, loopbaanplanning, loopbaanidentiteit en menselijk kapitaal anderzijds. Er zijn geen significant mediërende effecten van gecontroleerde motivatie voor werkhervatting op de hoofdeffecten gevonden.

▼ Employers want to hire students with the appropriate
skill set for the job. These skills include communication,
problem-solving, and teamwork skills (Billing, 2003; Shivpuri &
Kim, 2004). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether
students perceive themselves to be transferring
employability
skills learned in the Fort Hays State University (FHSU) Leadership
Studies Certificate Program to the workplace. The Leadership
Studies Certificate Program consists of three academic leadership
courses; Introduction to Leadership to Leadership Concepts,
Introduction to Leadership Behaviors, and Fieldwork in Leadership
Studies. Three groups were created for the purpose of the study.
Group one served as a control group and consisted of participants
who had not taken a leadership course at FHSU. Group two consisted
of a sample of students who had completed one or two courses out of
the Leadership Studies Certificate Program. Participants who had
completed the entire Leadership Studies Certificate made up group
three.
The study sought to evaluate the participants’ perceptions
with regard to the level of importance of identified
employability
skills, as well as their level of competence in performing each of
the
employability skills. The study also sought the supervisors’
perceptions of the study participants in each of the three groups.
Employability skills studied were problem-solving skills,
communication skills, teamwork skills, change and innovation
behaviors, ability to manage self, and being civic-minded.
Study
participants and their supervisors both perceived the ability to
manage self as the most important skill in the workplace. Findings
showed no differences between participant groups with respect to
the perceived importance and competence levels on each of the six
employability skill constructs. Supervisors of Leadership Studies
Certificate recipients deemed communication skills as more
important to their employee’s job than supervisors who employed
students who had never taken an FHSU leadership course. No
differences were found between supervisor groups with respect to
perceived importance and competence on the remainder of the
employability skills. Further research should be conducted on the
Leadership Studies Certificate Program to understand its impact on
students’ development of
employability skills. Upon conclusion of
this analysis, possible curriculum modifications should be
considered.

▼ The primary objective of this study was to explore the relationship between personality and
employability using a sample of 100 employees at a meat producing company in South Africa. A secondary objective was to determine if personality could be used to predict
employability, and whether individuals from different demographic groups differed regarding their
employability. The instruments used were the sixteen personality factor inventory (16PF) and the Van Der Heidje
employability measure.
The research findings indicated that the personality factors of submissiveness and seriousness correlated to the
employability dimensions of anticipation/ optimization and occupational expertise respectively. Openness and corporate sense were also correlated, with anxiety in particular correlating with the overall
employability measure.
Differences between the race groups and
employability were also noted. Particular interventions aimed at improving individual career decision making and
employability practices within the organisation concluded the study.

▼ This thesis explores variations in employment outcomes among youth living under similar structural conditions of poverty and unemployment in ghetto neighbourhoods. It challenges structuralist accounts that ignore the role of personal agency and hold that structures alone determine action. The critical realist framework offers a helpful understanding of social structures as both material and cultural since human agency, or action, is influenced by circumstances that are both materially objective and culturally subjective. By probing the interaction of agency and structure this research shows that individual agency is a response to cultural beliefs and competing cultural norms. The ensuing worldview informs decisions and actions of youth which, under different cultures and material family structures, either reproduce or transform their educational and employment prospects in ghetto neighbourhoods. Ten case studies are analysed from youth in Manenberg, Cape Town, a neighbourhood that was historically segregated through the apartheid system of forced removals and resettlement. In-depth interviews provide evidence from life histories, experiences of education institutions and of looking for work. Further information is gathered from interviews with secondary participants, apart from participant observation in family and community activities through an ethnographic approach. Findings reveal that the culture of disengaged parenting leaves youth exposed only to the influence of low education and employment expectations such that they despondently relinquish career aspirations by dropping out of school, remaining unemployed and underemployed as a result. By contrast, consistent mentoring from parents entails a culture that competes with the negative influence of gangs and enables resilience among youth to pursue tertiary education. Youth thereby transform, rather than reproduce, their position in the labour market as unemployed or underemployed unskilled manual workers. Similarly, social networks beyond the neighbourhood provide youth with job information, supportive resources, and cultural capital, which enable them to conceptualise ideas of professional careers. This transforms the historical and contemporary material structure of ghetto neighbourhoods with socially isolated networks that limit youth to low-skilled employment opportunities. Such networks do not support personal agency towards alternative employment and youth resort to cultural practices of gangsterism, irregular and informal work.
