The undergraduate self-perception of employability: human capital, careers advice, and career ownership (2019, result): “However, two recent empirical studies by Qenani, MacDougall, and Sexton (2014) in the USA and Jackson and Wilton (2017) in the UK reported a negative relationship between self-perceived employability and time spent at university.”
Networking behaviour, graduate employability: a social capital perspective (2017, background): “Obvious beneficiaries are students, many of whom have invested in higher education in order to enhance their careers, and universities who face increasing pressure to enhance graduate employability, with diminishing resources (Bridgstock, 2009; Qenani et al., 2014).”
Students’ perceptions of their preparedness for transition to work after graduation (2018, background): “In the field of higher education, Qenani et al. (2014) describe perceptions of field-specific skills and generic skills, such as oral communication and critical thinking, as significant predictors of undergraduates’ self-perceived employability.”
Student perceptions of their autonomy at University (2018, background): “Positive self-perception of capabilities also reduces drop-out rates and increases graduate prospects (Bandura 1989; Bandura 2012; Komarraju and Nadler 2013; Qenani et al. 2014; Yeo and Neal 2006).”

(2014) investigated students’ perceptions and found that students who showed selfresponsibility as expressed in undertaking an internship during HE study, and exhibiting self-managed career behaviour were nearly 2.5 times and 1.8 times respectively more likely to feel confident in…”
Perceived employability among undergraduates and the importance of career self-management, work experience and individual characteristics (2017, background): “For instance, Qenani, MacDougall, and Sexton (2014) report that the students who gained work experience through an internship during their studies were more likely to feel highly confident of their employability. de Vos and colleagues (2011) found that employee participation in competency…”
