“…The CA states that individuals should have the capabilities to conceive, pursue, and revise their life plans (22,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43). There are three important elements in the capability approach, namely capabilities, functionings -in which values are emphasized -and freedom.…”

Work and health play an entirely different role in the life course than before, necessitating new models. A definition and model of sustainable employability is presented based on Amartya Sen's capability approach, challenging researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to look for what is important and valuable in a given (work) context and whether people are able and enabled to realize this. Affiliation 71Discussion paper Scand J Work Environ Health 2016;42(1):71-79. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3531 Sustainable employability -definition, conceptualization, and implications: A perspective based on the capability approach By Jac JL van der Klink, PhD,1, 2 Ute Bültmann, PhD, 2 Alex Burdorf, PhD,3 Wilmar B Schaufeli, PhD,4,5 Fred RH Zijlstra, PhD,6 Femke I Abma, PhD, 2 Sandra Brouwer, PhD, 2 Gert Jan van der Wilt, PhD 7 Van der Klink JJL, Bültmann U, Burdorf A, Schaufeli WB, Zijlstra FRH, Abma FI, Brouwer S, Van der Wilt GJ. Sustainable employability -definition, conceptualization, and implications: A perspective based on the capability approach. Scand J Work Environ Health 2016;42(1):71-79. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3531Objectives The aim of this paper is to propose a new model of sustainable employability based on the capability approach, encompassing the complexity of contemporary work, and placing particular emphasis on work-related values.Methods Having evaluated existing conceptual models of work, health, and employability, we concluded that prevailing models lack an emphasis on important work-related values. Amartya Sen's capability approach (CA) provides a framework that incorporates a focus on values and reflects the complexity of sustainable employability.Results We developed a model of sustainable employability based on the CA. This model can be used as starting point for developing an assessment tool to investigate sustainable employability.Conclusions A fundamental premise of the CA is that work should create value for the organization as well as the worker. This approach challenges researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners to investigate what people find important and valuable -what they would like to achieve in a given (work) context -and moreover to ascertain whether people are able and enabled to do so. According to this approach, it is not only the individual who is responsible for achieving this; the work context is also important. Rather than merely describing relationships between variables, as existing descriptive models often do, the CA depicts a valuable goal: a set of capabilities that constitute valuable work. Moreover, the CA fits well with recent conceptions of health and modern insights into work, in which the individual works towards his or her own goals that s/he has to achieve within the broader goals of the organization.

“…There is quite a lot of interest among capability scholars and those working in the human development paradigm to try to bring the best of the capability approach and the human rights approach together (e.g. Vizard 2006Vizard , 2007Vizard, Fukuda-Parr and Elson 2011;Fukuda-Parr 2011;Gilabert 2009Gilabert , 2013. One important question, though, is how much the capability approach can offer if one is interested in constructing a powerful human rights theory.…”

“…Indeed, we have (1/Q 0 )(H 0 ) ≈ (H 0 )( V/V) [31]. If one re-writes this expression as Q 0 /Q 0 (H 0 ) ≈ − Q 0 (H 0 )( V/V), it becomes clear, that Q-factor fractional change is, in essence, Q 0 times enhanced in comparison with fractional change of resonant frequency, see (2). Thus, even small quantity in right-hand side of the above equation, being Q 0 times magnified, can lead to drastic changes in unloaded Q-factor, and, consequently, composite resonator transmission characteristic.…”
