Not necessarily, some scholars have been been defined it as competency or a complex of skills and personal qualities.

specifically for student this viewpoint is important because in education we should focus on things that are changeable by education.

for employee some scholars have defined and addressed employablity as a disposition.

employability has broad meaning space.

If you determine your audience I can better answer the question.

Thank you so much for your interest in my question. it is true employability has been variously defined.

To elaborate further, i need guidance as regards antecedents of employability verses perceived employability per se. refer to DeVos and Soens( 2008) and

Rothwell et al, (2008) whereby employability is documented as one’s ability to maintain employment appropriate with one’s qualification level (Rothwell, Herbert, & Rothwell, 2008 )

if Perceived Employability is taken as an individual level construct (competency approach/individual attributes ). than in simple words i need a clarification that as per Fugate et al(2004) perceived employability is formed or is reflected through following attributes./perceived employability is a summation of below mentioned in a measurement model

· Adaptability

· Human and social capital

· Career identity

( making these dimensions of perceived employability: whose summation reflect /measure perceived employability)

Direnzo et al.(2015) has treated the career capital as an antecedent to perceived employability where in career capital comprised of following

· human capital,

· social capital

- psychological capital (the four distinct dimensions of Psychological Capital: hope, optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience) (Direnzo, Greenhaus, & Weer, 2015)

these antecedents form perceived employability.

Donald et al., (2019) employability is conceptualised to be impacted by human capital, which incorporates social capital, cultural capital, psychological capital, scholastic capital, market-value capital, and skills (Donald et al., 2019).

reflective approach

so if i need to structure my enquiry and i conceptualise Perceived employability as an individual level construct .

How can i decide that what attribute are dimensions of employability and which ones are antecedents. how to operationalise it if i have to link it with work outcomes like performance? As adaptability is also treated as something stand alone that has a presence outside Perceived employability as well ( as per literature

looking forward to your valuable insight.
