This study examined the relationship between two personal resources, career adaptability and general self-efficacy, and two career outcomes, self-perceived employability and entrepreneurial intentions in a West African context, characterized by a developing economy. A Togolese sample of 334 university students and 216 job seekers completed French versions of the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Self-Perceived Employability Scale, the Entrepreneurial Intentions Scale and an adapted form of the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale. A multi-group path analysis showed that the results are similar for both groups. Career adaptability and general self-efficacy were positively related to self-perceived employability. The contribution of career adaptability was especially strong for job seekers. Only general self-efficacy was related to entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, perceived employability was positively related in some way to entrepreneurial intentions in both groups. Career adaptability seems to be especially important for employability among job seekers (activation of resources), whereas entrepreneurial intentions may be more context-dependent. Finally, perceived employability failed to mediate the relationship between personal resources and entrepreneurial intentions in both samples.
本研究考察了在以发展中经济为特征的西非背景下,两种个人资源(职业适应性和一般自我效能感)与两种职业结果(自我感知的就业能力和创业意向)之间的关系。一个由334名大学生和216名求职者组成的多哥样本完成了法语版的一般自我效能量表、自我感知就业能力量表、创业意向量表以及职业适应能力量表的一个改编版本。多组路径分析表明,两组的结果相似。职业适应性和一般自我效能感与自我感知的就业能力呈正相关。职业适应性对求职者的贡献尤为显著。只有一般自我效能感与创业意向相关。此外,在两组中,感知到的就业能力在某种程度上与创业意向呈正相关。职业适应性对于求职者的就业能力(资源激活)似乎尤为重要,而创业意向可能更依赖于情境。最后,在两个样本中,感知到的就业能力均未能调节个人资源与创业意向之间的关系。
