“…In the first case, it has been suggested that self-efficacy affects employability. For example, it has been indicated that self-efficacy is connected to the ability to seek jobs, number of job interviews, and later employment outcomes (Kanfer, Wanberg, & Kantrowitz, 2001;Moynihan, Roehling, LePine, & Boswell, 2003;Pinquart, Juang, & Silbereisen, 2003). Secondly, and conversely, employability has also been found to be important for the strengthening of efficacy beliefs.…”

The general aim of the present thesis is to increase our understanding of perceived employability. Employability perceptions refer to individuals' beliefs about their possibilities of finding new, equal, or better employment. How people perceive their possibilities of getting employment is important in a labour market characterised by flexibility and uncertainty, and the present thesis sets out to investigate the nature, determinants, and implications of employability perceptions, using two population-based samples. In Study I, the aim was to study if employability and self-efficacy are two distinct but related constructs and, along with this, to investigate the nature of their association. The results from this study indicated that employability was distinct from self-efficacy and, furthermore, that employability predicted subsequent self-efficacy. In Study II, the aim was to identify predictors of perceived employability. The combination of situational and individual factors was identified as important for employability perceptions. National economic prosperity, living/working in metropolitan areas, poor physical and good psychological work environments, formal education, and competency development were found to be positively associated with perceived employability. The aim of Study III was to investigate if employability could predict subsequent health and well-being. The results from this study implied that individuals who reported higher levels of employability also reported better global health and mental well-being, but not physical complaints, one year later, after controlling for work environment variables and previous health status. In conclusion, the present thesis has implications for theory as well as practice when it concludes that employability is not primarily a self-evaluation, that it is dependent on individual as well as situational factors, and that it has implications for health and well-being.Keywords: employability, employability perceptions, flexibility, individualisation, changing labour market, self-evaluation, self-efficacy, dual labour market, human capital, health, well-being. SammanfattningVad innebär det att vara anställningsbar? Vilka faktorer påverkar en individs bedömning av sin anställningsbarhet? Handlar anställningsbarhet om en persons allmänna självuppfattning eller handlar det om faktiska kunskaper, meriter och erfarenheter från tidigare arbeten? Vilken roll spelar det sammanhang en person befinner sig i, t ex konjunkturläge eller var i landet man bor? Vilken påverkan har anställningsbarheten på en individs hälsa och välbefinnande? Detta är frågor som står i centrum i denna avhandling.Att vara anställningsbar innebär att man kan skaffa sig ett nytt, likvärdigt eller bättre, arbete när detta är nödvändigt. I takt med att arbetslivet har blivit mer föränderligt och flexibelt blir upplevelsen av att vara anställningsbar intressant att studera, eftersom själva upplevelsen har konsekvenser för hur en person reagerar och agerar på händelser i sin omgivning.

“…Young people may feel that they are unable to cope with their school subjects, or generally have the impression of being out of their depth at school, consequently appraising their lives less favorably ). Yet, the negative effects of stress may be attenuated by individuals' self-efficacy, that is, beliefs about the capability to master new or challenging tasks, to perform a given behavior, or to exercise control over events (Bandura 1997(Bandura , 2006Pinquart et al 2003). Young people who reported high levels of academic self-efficacy not only displayed less test anxiety at school (Nie et al 2011) and better achievement outcomes (Burger and Walk, in press), but also evaluated their lives more positively than their peers with lower levels of self-efficacy .…”

“…Levels of stress and self-efficacy vary considerably between young people and, in particular during the transition to adulthood, they tend to change significantly within persons over time (Eicher et al 2014;Pinquart et al 2003). Accordingly, we expect that life satisfaction is affected not only by a person's average (baseline) levels of perceived stress and self-efficacy over time, but also by intra-individual change in perceived stress and self-efficacy over time.…”

Life satisfaction is an important indicator of successful development. However, adolescents' life satisfaction tends to be relatively unsteady, and environmental influences play a critical role in shaping life satisfaction among adolescents in the transition to young adulthood. Given the paramount importance that education plays in adolescents' lives, adolescents' life satisfaction may vary as a function of school-related stress experience. At the same time, coping resources may help reduce adverse effects of stress on life satisfaction. With this in mind, we examined whether, and to what extent, perceived stress in education and general self-efficacy (a resource that facilitates coping) affect the life satisfaction of adolescents in transition to young adulthood. We distinguished between baseline levels of stress and self-efficacy and within-person change in stress and self-efficacy to determine whether life satisfaction is sensitive to fluctuations in stress and self-efficacy when person-specific levels of stress and self-efficacy are taken into account. Estimating growth curve models on data from a panel study on the life trajectories of compulsory-school leavers (n = 5,126, 55.3% female), we found that baseline levels of stress and self-efficacy, as well as within-person change in stress and self-efficacy, affected adolescents' life satisfaction.Moreover, our results showed that baseline self-efficacy mitigated the negative effect of baseline stress on life satisfaction. These findings improve our understanding of two major psychological determinants of adolescents' life satisfaction and extend our knowledge of life satisfaction trajectories during the transition to young adulthood.

“…It contrasts the conceptualization and measure of a general self-efficacy-applicable to regulating a broad variety of situations-with the conceptualization and measure of task specific self-efficacy, directly applied to clearly identified tasks (for this debate, see, for example, Pinquart, Juang and Silbereisen, 2003).…”

The research presented here contributes to the current debate on the effects of perceived self-efficacy (PSE). The study, undertaken with 157 schoolteachers who had just started their first teaching position, examined the moderating role of PSE on the effects of mismatches between expectations and actual work conditions on newcomer integration behaviour. Based on the theoretical model of multiple socialization, the results suggest that: 1) the degree of exchanges that subjects establish between different areas of their life influences PSE efficiency; 2) PSE effects can be positive or negative depending on the nature of the disturbances to which PSE is applied.La recherche présentée s’inscrit dans les débats actuels relatifs aux effets du sentiment d’efficacité personnelle (SEP). Ces débats portent, d’une part, sur le niveau de généralité auquel il convient de mesurer le SEP (voir, par ex., Pinquart, Juang et Silbereisen, 2003) pour examiner ses effets (sentiment général d’auto-efficacité ou sentiments d’efficacité personnelle spécifiques), d’autre part, sur l’éventualité d’effets négatifs du SEP (Vancouver, Thompson et Williams, 2001; Vancouver et al., 2002 ; Bandura et Locke, 2003 ; Vancouver et Kendall, 2006).À partir d’une recherche centrée sur la problématique de l’insertion des nouveaux recrutés dans les organisations de travail, il s’agit de montrer comment la référence au modèle d’une socialisation plurielle et active (Baubion-Broye et Hajjar, 1998 ; Almudever, Croity-Belz et Hajjar, 1999 ; le Blanc, Dupuy et Rossi, 2001), qui prend en compte les relations que les sujets instaurent entre leurs différentes sphères d’activités et s’appuie sur une approche systémique, permet de prendre position dans ces débats. Visant à étudier le rôle du SEP dans la régulation des effets des décalages perçus entre les attentes et la réalité professionnelles sur les conduites d’insertion des nouveaux entrants, la recherche met à l’épreuve des faits deux hypothèses générales.La première concerne les conditions d’efficience du SEP : elle pose que l’efficience du SEP dans la régulation des effets des décalages entre attentes et réalité professionnelles dépend du niveau d’échanges que les sujets instaurent entre leurs domaines de vie. Considérant que le système des activités des sujets peut être plus ou moins cloisonné selon que les sujets activent ces échanges ou, à l’inverse, les inhibent en cherchant à limiter l’interdépendance des différentes sphères, on postule que c’est un degré médian d’échanges entre les domaines de vie qui constitue la condition la plus favorable à l’efficience du SEP général dans la régulation des effets des décalages sur les conduites d’insertion du sujet.La seconde concerne l’orientation des effets du SEP : elle pose que les effets du SEP sur la relation entre décalages et conduites d’insertion des sujets varient en fonction de la nature des décalages envisagés, en raison des enjeux différents dont ils peuvent être porteurs pour les sujets.L’étude a été réalisée auprès de 157 professeurs des écoles de...
