Abstract

This research was carried out utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the correlation between Informal Workplace Learning (IWL) and Employability. This investigation considers the role of competency development as an intermediary factor. The study tested a moderated mediation model using data collected from 512 employees from all five banks located in Bhutan. The findings supported initial hypotheses. Utilizing structural equation modelling (SEM), the study found that IWL significantly impacts employability, and this relationship is fully mediated by competency development. However, the expected moderating effects of Self-directed Learning Orientation (SDLO) and Learning Goal Orientation (LGO) on the connection between IWL and competency development were not observed. In simpler terms, the results suggest that IWL contributes to the development of competencies, which in turn enhances employability. Yet, SDLO and LGO do not enhance the influence of IWL on competency development. Additionally, qualitative techniques were employed to gather insights into the experiences related to IWL, competency development, and employability, providing a complementary perspective to quantitative findings. Overall, this study holds significance for shaping human resource policies formulation and strategies related to employee growth and development.
解开联系:通过混合方法探索非正式工作场所学习、能力发展和就业能力
本研究采用定量和定性两种方法来考察非正规工作场所学习(IWL)与就业能力之间的相关性。本研究考虑了能力发展作为中介因素的作用。研究使用从不丹所有五家银行的 512 名员工处收集的数据,对调节中介模型进行了测试。研究结果支持了最初的假设。利用结构方程模型(SEM),研究发现综合工作能力对就业能力有显著影响,而这种关系完全是由能力发展中介的。然而,并没有观察到预期的自主学习导向(SDLO)和学习目标导向(LGO)对综合工作学习和能力发展之间联系的调节作用。简单地说,研究结果表明,综合WL有助于能力的发展,而能力的发展反过来又会提高就业能力。然而,SDLO 和 LGO 并没有增强 IWL 对能力发展的影响。此外,本研究还采用了定性技术来收集与综合WL、能力发展和就业能力相关的经验,为定量研究结果提供了一个补充视角。总之,本研究对制定与员工成长和发展相关的人力资源政策和战略具有重要意义。
