Student employability is a key aspect of higher education, with multiple strategies utilised by Higher Education Institutions in an effort to support the employability of their graduates. Despite this little work has been done to examine, and compare, different types of work experience. To advise students appropriately it’s important to understand the factors that might influence the perceived value of work experience. The current study investigated three aspects of work experience: type (internship or volunteer role), location (extra- or co-curricular) and duration (six months or two years), and compared stakeholder (student, academic, employer) perception of work experience. The study utilised an experimental vignette design, presenting 175 participants (62 students, 57 employers, 56 academics) with CV excerpts that varied according to the variables of interest. Quantitative and qualitative items were also presented to explore perceptions of work experience. The results indicate that extracurricular experience was viewed more favourably by all stakeholders. The type of experience was also an influence, with internships viewed more positively when the job role was a high level graduate role (research assistant). The duration of experience did not produce a main effect. There were no significant differences in stakeholder perception of work experience. The qualitative data indicated that the relevancy of both experience and degree topic was important for employability, along with interpersonal and professional skills. These findings may support educators in providing students with advice regarding their activities outside the classroom, with a particular emphasis on extracurricular and internship experience, tied to student career aspirations, recommended.

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected educational organizations. Therefore, studying the psychological factors that can increase educational organization staff's efficiency during the pandemic is very relevant to the present day and socially significant. Aim: to empirically investigate the development of different types of educational staff's self-efficacy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. J. Maddux and M. Scheer The Level of Self-Efficacy (modified by L. Boyarintseva), Short Occupational Self-Efficacy (adapted by O. Kredentser), and a passport-questionnaire. Results. There is an insufficient level of development of all types of staff' self-efficacy in educational organizations. Particularly low self-efficacy has been found in teaching subjects. Staff's organizational and professional characteristics (work experience, position, qualification category) and socio-demographic characteristics (marital status) are associated with different types of staff's self-efficacy. There is also a close relationship between staff's self-efficacy and the characteristics of educational organizations. Conclusions. The obtained data necessitate the creation of special psychological technologies for the development of various types of educational staff's self-efficacy.

Assessment Results

The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has synthesized a profile to be acquired by all the students based on 13 generic skills. For its assessment, the UPV has also developed a rubric for every skill depending on the level of the course. In this research, we develop an educational innovation for validating the rubrics for 3 of the 13 generic skills specified by the UPV. The chosen skills are: “Ability to think practically and apply knowledge in practical situations”, “Innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship ability” and “Teamwork and leadership ability”. To do this, we develop the same methodology in two groups (Morning/English) of the same course (Marketing Research of the Degree of Business Administration and Management of the Faculty of Business Administration and Management at the UPV) with significantly different student profiles. The assessment results of the skills reveal that there are no significant differences between groups. In conclusion, we could say that the rubrics developed by the UPV are adequate to assess all types of students: Erasmus or non-erasmus, working or having worked in the last 2 years or without work experience, and regardless of their satisfaction with the course.

This research address a relevant and important problem, unemployment. After 2008 unemployment steadily increased leaving many people out of work and causing concern for others. This study attempts to understand how people from different types of work experience unemployment. The data was gathered through interviews with 31 people who were experiencing unemployment. To assist in understanding their experiences, each participant provided pictures of anything they thought symbolized their unemployment experience. People commonly took pictures of their cars, empty wallets, and closed doors or hallways. Findings from this study suggest that participants anticipated being able to find a new job. However, participants described experiencing uncertainty after multiple failed attempts to find work. Additionally, social class positioning exposed text (white-collar) workers to valuable job search related resources; whereas body workers (laborers) struggled to manage the job search and meet their basic needs such as food and shelter. Lastly, both text and body workers described feeling stigmatized by their unemployment status and chose to withdraw from interactions with others to avoid feeling stigmatized. As a result of these findings, practitioners are encouraged to help laborers translate their physical work experiences into written text that is useful in the job search process. Practitioners can also help text and body workers develop strategies for managing the unemployment stigma that does not hinder their ability to find a new job.

And Cluster Analysis

This paper builds on opportunity-based conceptualisations of entrepreneurship that focus on the identification and exploitation of opportunities. The study investigates the importance of factors when evaluating opportunities andidentifies distinct clusters of preferences for differing opportunities. Based on a conjoint analysis where importances and part worth utilities were calculated when assessing an entrepreneurial opportunity, significant differences appear in the importances associated with the business sector, capital intensity, technology maturity, market potential and return on investment potential. Moreover clustering is dependent on gender, academic background and principal work experience of respondents. A holistic conclusion of this study confirms not only that both opportunity dimensions and demographic factors are important, but that identifying levels of differences and differences in the degree of importances with unique constellations therein, is fundamental in understanding opportunity evaluation. The study contributes to the clustering of different types of opportunities to ensure the effective targeting of policies and services by government. Empirical evidence is mounting which demonstrates that there are more entrepreneurial opportunities in developing countries and that the higher number of entrepreneurial opportunities and demand for entrepreneurship in developing countries is indeed matched by higher rates of opportunity-driven entrepreneurs entering the market.

The Relationship

This study examined the interactive effect of organizational career management practices and different types of work experience on career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization in 386 Indian employees. The results showed that after controlling for the effect of the demographic variables and organizational career management practices, different types of work experience played unique roles in predicting career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization. It was found that that organizational career management practices correlated positively with career satisfaction and negatively with intention to quit the organization. The results further showed that organizational experience moderated the relationship between organizational career management practices and career satisfaction, and organizational tenure moderated the relationship between organizational career management practices and intention to quit. These findings carry implication for research and practice on career satisfaction and intention to quit the organization.

The article is devoted to the description of attitude to lies and success of its detection in groups of civil recipients and police. Results of two empirical studies are presented in the article. At the first study (n = 120) was found that civil recipients are better in deception detection if they have epistemological understanding of concept of lie. Those recipients who understand the lie from a moral position, condemn it – are worse in lie detection. Those recipients who considers the main motive of lies is «to create a good effect» are also successful in deception detection. Perhaps this motive is projection, and people who have this motive are more attentive to the communicant, spend more effort to recognize verbal and non-verbal cues. The comparison group of recipients who rely on scientifically confirmed and unconfirmed cues of deception was shown, that scientifically confirmed group is better in lie detection. In a group of civil recipients it was shown that attitudes to different types of lies are correlated. It was also found that the better a person evaluates himself as a successful liar, the more often he uses lie in life and the more positive attitude to lies. However, the attitude to different types of lies is not correlated with the success of detection lie, truth and messages (lie+rtuth) - only with self-esteem as a successful or unsuccessful recipient. In the second study (n = 62) it was found that lie detection in police is not correlated with age, work experience, attitude to white lies. The police, in general, are more aware of the cues of lie, more often civilians rely on scientifically confirmed, in particular, verbal cues. However focus on scientifically confirmed cues of lie is associated with prejudgment in police. The main motive of lies «to create a good effect» named by the police improves lie detection, like in civil group. But understanding lie as ontological or moral position is not associated with lie detection in police. In general, both groups detect lies at the level of random guessing (50%), which is consistent with other studies. Differences in success in detection of messages (lie+rtuth) are due to bias. Biases, probably, are more associated with attitude to lie.
