“…Employability is regarded as a psycho-social construct that embodies individual characteristics that foster pro-active adaptive cognition, behaviour and affect, and enhance the individual-work interface (Fugate, Kinicki & Ashforth, 2004). In this regard, pro-active career behaviour includes the ability to employ a range of psychological career resources such as being behaviourally adaptable and fl exible in dealing with more frequent career transitions; having a sense of calling regarding one's career; having a sense of awareness of one's career preferences, values and motives; and demonstrating positive core self-evaluations, self-management skills, relationship skills and emotional literacy (Briscoe & Hall, 1999;Coetzee, 2008;Hall & Chandler, 2005;Judge, Bono, Erez & Locke, 2005;Kuijpers & Scheerens, 2006). Furthermore, with individuals' careers being less predictable and ordered than they once were, interest in the behaviour and characteristics that predict individuals' career success and employability has gained greater salience in contemporary career research (Arnold & Cohen, 2008;Arthur, Khapova & Wilderom, 2005).…”
