Abstract

Bu çalışma, iş gücü piyasasının potansiyel adayları olan üniversite öğrencilerinin kendilerine ilişkin istihdam edilebilirlik algıları üzerinde etkili olabilecek bazı kişilik özelliklerinden olan hırslı olmak, iç kontrol odaklılık ve yenilikçi kişiliği incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen hipotezleri test etmek icin survey yöntemi ve anket tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemini toplam 335 İşletme, Sağlık Bilimleri ve Eğitim Fakültesi öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Sosyo-demografik verilerin analizinde, t-test, tek yönlü-ANOVA’dan yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada istihdam edilebilirlik üniversite itibarı, akademik başarı, dış iş gücü piyasasının durumu ve kendine olan inançtan oluşmak üzere dört boyutlu bir üst yapı olarak incelenmiştir.Yapılan hiyerarşik regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre, hırs ve iç kontrol odaklılık istihdam edilebilirlik üzerinde olumlu yönde etkili iken yenilikçiliğin anlamlı bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Yine istihdam edilebilirlik bileşenlerinden biri olan kendi kendine olan inanç diğer boyutlara göre bu değişkenlerden daha fazla etkilenmektedir.1. GİRİŞ

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ambition, internal locus of control and innovativeness on self-perceived employability. In order to test hypothesis, survey method and questionnaire technique were used to apply in this study. The study sample consists of 335 university students of School of Business, Health Sciences Faculty and Education Faculty at Istanbul University. In order to analyze the data, one-way ANOVA, independent T-Test have been conducted to monitor the scores taken from the scales in terms of socio-demographic varieties. This study argues that self-perceived employability represents a second order construct that consists of four dimensions- university brand, the state of the external labour market, the demand for the perceived academic success and general self-belief. According to hierarchical regression analysis results there is a significant effect of ambition and internal locus of control on the self-perceived employability. Also, there is a significant effect of ambition, internal locus of control and innovativeness on general self-belief dimension of perceived employability. Besides it was determined that there is a significant difference between female and male students in terms of perceived self-employability.
