Abstract

This study draws on contributions from Social Cognitive Career Theory and Conservation of Resources theory to investigate how configurations of career barriers associated with gender and ethnicity influence the development of perceived employability. Our study with graduates surveyed before and two years after completing their degrees, shows that groups of graduates perceiving higher career barriers experience a significant decline in perceived employability during the early stage of their careers. In contrast, those perceiving fewer career hurdles report a more stable employability trajectory and have higher perceived employability two years after graduating. Our study contributes to the literature by showing that perceived employability does not necessarily increase with labor market experience but can instead remain stable or even decline depending on perceived career hindrances.

各就各位，准备出发！跳过职业生涯初期就业能力发展的障碍

本研究借鉴了社会认知职业理论和资源保护理论，探讨与性别和种族相关的职业障碍如何影响就业能力的发展。我们对完成学业前和完成学业两年后的毕业生进行了调查，结果表明，职业障碍较高的毕业生群体在职业生涯早期阶段的就业能力显著下降。相比之下，职业障碍较少的毕业生的就业能力轨迹更为稳定，毕业两年后的就业能力也更高。我们的研究表明，感知到的就业能力并不一定会随着劳动力市场经验的增加而提高，相反，会根据感知到的职业障碍而保持稳定甚至下降。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
