Linking career management practices with individual outcomes: The mediating role of perceived employability

Employability Paradox: The Effect of Development Idiosyncratic Deals on Recipient Employees’ Turnover Intention

“…This may strengthen recipients’ beliefs that the employer wants to build a long-term employment relationship with them, which may improve their perception of internal employability. Empirical studies also provide support for this proposition, that individual career management practices could increase their perceptions of internal employability ( Soares and Mosquera, 2021 ). Accordingly, this paper hypothesizes that:…”

“…Furthermore, many scholars have explicitly stated that perceived internal employability can decrease individuals’ intention to leave ( Kammeyer-Mueller et al, 2005 ). A recent study also demonstrated the association between perceived internal employability and lower turnover intention, as well as the mediating role of perceived internal employability in the relationship between career development management and turnover intention ( Soares and Mosquera, 2021 ). Therefore, this paper hypothesizes that:…”

The role of perceived employability in the relationship between protean career attitude and career success

“…mediating) effects of multiple constructs in a single model. For instance, Soares and Mosquera (2021) showed that perceived employability mediated between career management practices and individual outcomes, and Akkermans et al (2019) found that perceived employability explained the relationship between career management practices and employee outcomes, such as commitment and turnover. Applied to the present study, perceived employability is expected to mediate the relationship between protean career attitude and career success.…”

“…organizational) boundaries (Zafar et al, 2017). Both foci are important in the age of the protean career, as individuals proactively seek developmental opportunities to enrich their chances of progression inside and outside of the organization (Cortellazzo et al, 2020; Crowley-Henry et al, 2018; Sultana & Malik, 2020). Theoretical works examining the protean career have suggested a direct positive relationship between a protean attitude and perceived employability (Lin, 2015; Cortellazzo et al, 2020; Sultana & Malik, 2020); however, no study to date has differentiated between perceived external and internal employability.…”

“…Recent studies on career management (e.g. Akkermans et al, 2019;Akkermans & Kubasch, 2017;Lo Presti & Elia, 2020;Niu et al, 2019;Soares & Mosquera, 2021;Tan et al, 2019) have reported an increasing emphasis on perceived employability as an important factor affecting career success, as employability is widely regarded as an essential aspect of job security in today's employment landscape. However, empirical evidence on how perceived employability relates to career success remains unclear (Hogan et al, 2013;Lo Presti & Elia, 2020;Tee et al, 2021).…”
