| Sažetak | U današnje vrijeme, koncept tradicionalne zapošljivosti značajno se mijenja. Istraživanja su se okrenula proučavanju samopercipirane zapošljivosti, relativno novijem i sve zapaženijem konstruktu, koja se jednako definira internalnim i eksternalnim odrednicama. Pristup samopercipirane zapošljivosti usredotočuje se ne samo na unutarnje osobne čimbenike povezane s percepcijom vlastitih sposobnosti i vještina za pronalazak posla, već i na strukturne ili vanjske čimbenike, kao što je percepcija pojedinca o utjecaju vanjskog tržišta rada i važnosti postignute kvalifikacije pri pokušaju pronalaska posla. Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ispitati postojanje razlike u samopercipiranoj zapošljivosti studenata prve i posljednje godine studija psihologije u Hrvatskoj, te doprinos donedavno zanemarivanih osobnih odrednica poput nade, optimizma/pesimizma i vjerovanja u pravedan svijet. Uzorak se sastojao od 162 studenta psihologije sa šest državnih fakulteta, od čega je broj studenata prve godine bio 81, a broj studenata posljednje godine i apsolvenata kombinirano također 81. Prosječna dob uzorka iznosila je 21.6 godina, a činila ga je 141 studentica i 21 student. Za mjerenje koncepta samopercipirane zapošljivosti korištena je Skala samopercipirane zapošljivosti studenata (Rothwell i sur., 2008). Za mjerenje aspekata ličnosti odnosno nade korištena je istoimena skala autora Snydera i suradnika (1991), za optimizam Skala optimizma/pesimizma (O-P skala) (Chang i sur., 1997) te za vjerovanje u pravedan svijet mjere generalnog vjerovanja u pravedan svijet (Dalbert, Montada i Schmidt, 1984) i personalnog vjerovanja u pravedan svijet (Dalbert, 1993). Dobiveni rezultati standardne regresijske analize upućuju na doprinos osobnog vjerovanja u pravedan svijet objašnjenju samopercipirane zapošljivosti studenata prve godine studija pri čemu je objašnjeno 31% varijance, dok je kod studenata posljednje godine utvrđen pozitivan doprinos nade i optimizma što objašnjava 27% varijance. Također, studenti prve i završne godine se razlikuju u razinama nade, optimizma/pesimizma i vjerovanja u pravedan svijet. Pritom studenti završne godine studija pokazuju više razine nade, optimizma i vjerovanja u pravedan svijet u odnosu na studente prve godine koji su pokazivali više razine pesimizma, dok razlika za samu samopercipiranu zapošljivost među ispitivanim skupinama nije utvrđena. |
| Sažetak (engleski) | Nowadays, the concept of traditional employability is changing significantly. The research turned to the study of self-perceived employability, a relatively newer and increasingly noticeable construct, which is equally defined by internal and external determinants. The selfperceived employability approach focuses not only on internal personal factors related to the perception of one's own job-finding abilities and skills, but also on external factors, such as an individual's perception of the impact of the external labor market and the importance of its own qualifications. The aim of this research was to examine the difference in self-perceived employability of first and last year students of psychology in Croatia, and the contribution of, until recently, neglected personal determinants such as hope, optimism /pessimism and a belief in a just world. The sample consisted of 162 psychology students from six state faculties, of which the number of first-year students was 81, and the number of final-year students and graduates combined was also 81. The average age of the sample was 21.6 years, and it consisted of 141 female and 21 male students. The Self-Perceived Employability Scale was used to measure student's self-perceived employability (Rothwell et al., 2008). To examine selected personallity aspects, used measures were Hope scale constructed by Snyder et al. (1991), the Optimism / Pessimism Scale (OP scale) (Chang et al., 1997) was used for approaching optimism and pessimism and for the belief in a just world, measures of general belief in a just world (Dalbert, Montada and Schmidt, 1984) and personal belief in a just world (Dalbert, 1993) were used. The obtained results of the standard regression analysis indicate the contribution of personal belief in a just world to the explanation of self-perceived employability of first year students, which explained 31% of variance, while for the last year students positive contribution of hope and optimism was found, which explains 27% of variance. Also, first and final-year students differ in their levels of hope, optimism/ pessimism, and belief in a just world. At the same time, final year students show higher levels of hope, optimism and belief in a fair world compared to first year students who showed higher levels of pessimism, while the difference for self-perceived employability itself among the examined groups was not found. |
