What is it about?
Due to high unemployment rates in the last two decades, it is important to assess the extent to which young graduates’ career attitudes affect perceived internal and external employability, along with the role of career self-management strategies as an employability enhancement tool.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that young employees still hold a preference for a traditional career attitude (TCA) vs an organizational mobility-boundaryless career attitude (BCA). Further, our study highlights the distinction between career positioning strategies on the BCA-external employability relationship, and of career influence strategies on the TCA-internal employability relationship.
Perspectives
This article was a joint effort of the three authors to highlight how young employees' career attitudes influence their employability prospects in a specific context. More than anything else, I hope that you find this article an interesting and useful piece of research.
