“…It is a skill that is key for presenting ideas, motivating a team, strategizing, managing or chairing meetings and communicating across a diverse group of employees within an organization (Garwood, 2012). Communication is therefore, a critical skill for graduates to acquire in order to gain access to the workplace regardless of positions or industries they consider (Miller, Biggart and Newton, 2013).…”

Skills shortage among graduates is a serious constraint in Malaysia and according to Bank Negara Malaysia, graduate employability in Malaysia is a rising concern as graduates represent 23 per cent of total youth unemployment. As Malaysia aggressively sets course towards becoming a high-income economy, the need for skilled manpower is said to be expanding across key industries. To ensure a productive workforce, the country must have a high-quality flow of talent supply to fill these jobs. Hence, the study investigates the antecedents of graduate employability in Malaysia by researching a key stakeholder group, which is the employer.Using a qualitative research methodology, ten employers were interviewed using in-depth interviews to explore and enrich the graduate employability framework. The qualitative phase inducted the ‘graduate training’ construct and its sub-constructs of ‘internship’, ‘mentoring’ and ‘talent management’, as perceived by the employers, which were added as enrichment to the graduate employability framework. It also affirmed and authenticated the ‘soft skills’ construct drawn from literature. By incorporating the findings from the qualitative phase, an enriched framework eventuated. This enriched framework brings these previously omitted dimensions to the forefront.

“…Feeling employable can be regarded as an individual resource important for health, career development, and possibilities to assert influence in an organization, or a generic competence or ability (c.f. Berntson 2008;Miller et al 2013;Vanhercke et al 2014). Previous research using quantitative measures has shown that men, highly educated, and older people tend to interpret their employability as higher than women, people with lower education, and younger people (e.g., Berntson 2008;Berntson et al 2006;Mäkikangas et al 2013).…”

In the flexible Swedish labour market, the concept of employability has grown important. Within a neoliberal framework, accountability for one’s possibility to successfully obtain or keep employment rests with the individual. In contrast, within a social welfare discourse the individual is offered care and support in order to gain employment. The present study combined intersectional and discourse analytical approaches with the understanding that individual employability is subjectively constructed in the exploration of labour market induction, employability constructions and categorizations in the discourse used by government agencies directly involved in the labour market integration of newly arrived migrants. Public documents comprising information on labour market entrance, employability and associated concepts such as competence building and career development were analysed. The employability constructions were often contradictory—placed at the crossroads of neoliberal and social welfare discourses—and built on tacit assumptions and influenced by stereotypes. Conveying such employability constructions further could lead to exclusion from long-term employment and have detrimental psychological and health repercussions. Instead, it is of importance to work towards reconstructing migrants’ employability in this new context without damaging influence from inflexible categorizations and stereotypes.

“…En este sentido, la residencia profesional resulta ser una estrategia en la que promueve la empleabilidad del estudiante universitario, a través de la identificación y generación de áreas de oportunidad para desarrollar sus competencias profesionales como lo hace otros programas europeos como Word of Work y la Universidad de Zayed (El-Temtamy, O'Neill y Midraj, 2016) El enfoque principal de los empleadores con respecto a los graduados universitarios radica en exhibir sus habilidades genéricas (Miller, Biggart y Newton, 2013) como el uso de la tecnología a través de la informática y la comunicación, habilidades cognitivas e intelectuales, manejo de personal y capacidad técnica, así como el conocimiento de empresas y organizaciones (El-Temtamy, O'Neill y Midraj, 2016;Rees, Forbes y Kubler, 2006…”

En el artículo de investigación, se analizó el uso de la tecnología, el aprendizaje organizacional y su influencia sobre la satisfacción personal de los residentes de pregrado en las empresas industriales. En el diseño y metodología se empleó una muestra 220 residentes de pregrado del estado de Guanajuato, México. El diseño metodológico de la investigación fue cuantitativa, explicativo, observacional y transversal y para ello se emplearon instrumentos que nos permitieron medir las variables seleccionadas. Para probar las hipótesis establecidas, se desarrolló un modelo de ecuación estructural (SEM). A través del modelo SEM, se demuestra que el uso de la tecnología es un factor que influye positiva y significativamente sobre el aprendizaje organizacional de los residentes de pregrado. De igual manera, el uso de la tecnología influye positiva y significativamente sobre la satisfacción personal de los residentes universitarios. Por otro lado, el aprendizaje organizacional influye positiva y significativamente sorbe la satisfacción personal de los pasantes de pregrado en las empresas industriales del estado de Guanajuato, México. Esta investigación promueve una discusión sobre el uso de las tecnologías, el aprendizaje organizacional y la satisfacción profesional de los residentes de pregrado del estado de Guanajuato. El objetivo del presente estudio de investigación fue conocer la influencia que ejerce el uso de la tecnología de los residentes de pregrado y el aprendizaje organizacional sobre su satisfacción personal en la incorporación en el sector industrial.
