“…In addition, our study supports Rothwell et al (2008) and Huang (2014aHuang ( , 2014b's efforts to segregate the effects of the different dimensions of PE, since each is likely to lead to a different outcome from the other. Our results suggest that educators and counselors should seek to enhance students' internal PE when they need to adjust to school-to-work transitions.…”

“…Hence, external employability boosts the psychological resources for adjusting to STWT. However, a stronger external PE implies that the student's university and subject area are highly valued by employers and employment conditions are seen as less dynamic (Huang 2014a(Huang , 2014bRothwell et al 2008). Unfortunately, the career environment is increasingly dynamic; hence relying on these external factors for employability without translating them into psychological strength may hurt preparation for STWT.…”

Increasingly, graduates are taking much more time in the transition from school to work. Recent research suggests that the ability to adjust quickly plays a key role in the transition process. This is even more important today given the tough labor market realities such as exacerbated unemployment levels and global competitions for the few available job openings. Yet new graduates often lack experience and certain skills that employers look for. Those unable to maneuver through the School-To-Work Transition (STWT) quickly may experience further challenges in their career development process. Using a sample of 516 students in their final semester of their university studies in Ugandan and Kenya, the present study examines the role of psychological resources, namely psychological capital and the mechanisms (i.e. Career Engagement-CE, Perceived Employability-PE) through which it works to affect students' readiness for STWT as well as positively evaluating their career success. The major findings of the study reveal substantial positive direct effects of psychological capital on perceived employability, readiness for STWT, and career satisfaction. The double mediation results show that psychological capital indirectly affects the readiness for STWT via career engagement and internal PE, while psychological capital indirectly affects career satisfaction via career engagement and external PE. The implications of these results are discussed.

“…Angela Baron, (2011) asserts that measures of human capital can be measured by competencies such as education level, practice, skills possessed by employees can be converted into intellectual capital in the form of products and services that provide market value. Similarly, the management skills and entrepreneurial experiences that exist in humans and are used in companies positively affect the economic performance of new companies (Gimeno, et al 1997), authors that determine the success of a company have been the object of debate among academics (Atherton and Smallbone, 2010;Lans et al, 2011;Huang, 2016;Hong et al 2018 ) Some researchers who are interested in finding the relationship between entrepreneurship and success emphasize the importance of human capital or entrepreneurs (entrepreneurs) to achieve business success (Huang, 2016). Human capital is considered as a determining factor in achieving business success.…”

This study aimed to explore the innovation strategy and the link between human capital, social capital, and financial capital as a factor that determines the success of small & medium businesses. The approach is through the study of literature. The results show 1) human capital as in the dimensions of education, skills, experience, entrepreneurship determines the success of SMEs, especially in increasing product quantity and quality, sales and market share, capital and profit, customer satisfaction and competitiveness of SMEs. 2) Social Capital as in the dimensions of kinship, association, institutional, and professional networks determine the success of SMEs, especially in increasing product quantity and quality, sales and market share, capital and profit, customer satisfaction and competitiveness of SMEs. 3) Financial capital: as in the dimensions of access to financial institutions, sources of funding, investment and financial management determine innovation strategies such as the dimensions of the discovery and improvement of production methods / technologies, the creation of new products, product development and improvement, new market discoveries and market expansion. 4) Innovation strategies such as the dimensions of the discovery and improvement of production methods & technologies, the creation of new products, product development and improvement, the discovery of new markets and market expansion determine the success of SMEs, especially in increasing product quantity and quality, sales and market share, capital and profit, customers satisfaction and competitiveness of SMEs

“…The competitiveness of companies is determined by institutions, policies and other factors, determining their continued presence in the market, profitability and ability to adapt production to demand (Chao et al, 2015) while reducing vulnerability to competition and being resistant to erosion by substitute products (Porter, 1999;Subramanian et al, 2014). The resource-based view emphasizes that internal resources and productive capacity are crucial to maintaining organizational performance (Huang, 2016). The strength of organizations is determined by their competitiveness and the strategies they adopt to gain competitive advantage and strengthen their positions in the market (Nara et al, 2013).…”
