就业能力的内涵和关注焦点随着时代的发展而不断演变,研究者日益聚焦于个体特征及其与情境因素的互动对就业能力的内在结构进行探索,并尝试更多地开发和采用多维、多源测量工具。在西方,以就业能力为前因变量、后果变量、中介变量和调节变量的实证研究已取得丰富成果,但也仍存在诸多分歧和局限。在我国,进行本土化就业能力结构和测量探索以及围绕无边界职涯条件下就业能力的形成、发展过程和整体作用机制开展相关实证研究很有必要。
With the changing connotations of employability, researchers are increasingly focusing on individual characteristics and their interactions with situational factors to explore the internal structures of employability and trying to develop multi-dimensional tests and use multi-source assessments in studies more than before. Although, a number of western empirical researches with employability as antecedents, consequences, mediators or moderators have achieved fruitful results, there are still many controversies and limitations in theory. It is necessary to explore the localization content structures and measurements of employability in China, as well as its special forming, developing and functioning mechanism in the boundaryless career era.
