Abstract
Optimistic perception of one’s future employability is critical for young people, being linked to motivation, behaviours, and well-being. We tested some antecedents and outcomes to perceived future employability (PFE) and their mediation effects. Responses (N = 324, 62.3% female, mean age 20.77 years) revealed that (1) career calling, strategies, proactivity, and encouragement were related to PFE, (2) PFE was related to career planning, performance, and satisfaction, and (3) PFE mediated all antecedents to satisfaction, but not to planning or performance.
Résumé
La perception de l'employabilité future des jeunes adultes: Antécédents et conséquences. Une perception optimiste de l'employabilité future est essentielle pour les jeunes, étant liée à la motivation, aux comportements et au bien-être. Nous avons testé des antécédents et les résultats de la perception de l'employabilité future (PFE), ainsi que ses effets de médiation. Les réponses (N = 324, 62,3% de femmes, moyenne d’age 20,77 ans) ont révélé que (1) la vocation professionnelle, les stratégies, la proactivité et l'encouragement étaient liées à l'EFP, (2) l'EFP était liée à la planification de carrière, à la performance et à la satisfaction, et (3) l'EFP médiait la relation entre tous les antécédents et satisfaction, sauf pour la planification ou la performance.
Zusammenfassung
Die wahrgenommene zukünftige Beschäftigungsfähigkeit junger Erwachsener: Einflussfaktoren und Konsequenzen. Die optimistische Wahrnehmung der eigenen zukünftigen Beschäftigungsfähigkeit ist für junge Menschen entscheidend, da sie mit Motivation, Verhalten und Wohlbefinden zusammenhängt. Wir haben einige Einflussfaktoren und Konsequenzen der wahrgenommenen zukünftigen Beschäftigungsfähigkeit (PFE) und deren Vermittlungseffekte untersucht. Die Antworten (N = 324, 62,3% weiblich, Durchschnittsalter 20,77 Jahre) ergaben, dass (1) die Wahrnehmung einer Berufung, Strategien, Proaktivität und Ermutigung mit PFE zusammenhängen, (2) PFE mit Karriereplanung, Leistung, und Zufriedenheit zusammenhängt und (3) PFE zwischen allen Einflussfaktoren und Zufriedenheit vermittelt, aber nicht mit Planung oder Leistung.
