Empleabilidad Percibida y Autoeficacia para la Búsqueda de Empleo en Universitarios

employability refers to one person’s job opportunities taking into account its personal characteristics and social context. different authors have related employability and self-efficacy. the main objective of this work consists on testing a one-dimensional 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 elaborated. first of them was a one-dimensional scale aimed to evaluate the employability perception of trained persons without professional experience. the second one is a specific scale for the evaluation of job-seeking behaviours self-efficacy trained through universities’ professional orientation services. results show, through exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis, the one-dimensionality of both scales and a pearson’s correlation between them of .56.
