Abstract

Employability refers to one persons job opportunities taking into account its personal characteristics and social context. Different components have been proposed for employability, including professional qualifications, personal competences and knowledge of the labour market. Also, different authors have related employability and self-efficacy. The main objective of this work consists on testing an unidimensional conception of perceived employability and analysing its relations with self-efficacy in the job-seeking process. Sample was composed by 462 university students and graduates. An Employability Perception Scale and a Job-seeking Self-Efficacy Scale were used. Results show, through confirmatory factorial analysis, the unidimensionality of both scales and a Pearsons correlation between them of .56. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
