摘要
本研究的目的是验证阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE-SPE)背景下自我感知就业能力量表的心理测量特性，并验证阿联酋- spe与大学承诺量表(UC) (Rothwell et al.， 2008)在本科生中的模型拟合性。设计/方法/方法在阿联酋的一所公立大学进行了一项横断面调查研究，使用基于网络的调查工具(Qualtrics)收集数据。样本为646名本科生。作为因素分析的结果，该研究验证了阿联酋本科生SPE的三个因素，这些因素解释了他们对大学声誉、学习领域、阿联酋劳动力市场状况和对自己技能的信心的看法。验证性因子分析验证了UAE-SPE与UC量表的模型拟合指标良好。此外，本研究发现UC量表与UAE-SPE的三个因素之间存在统计学上显著的正相关关系。目前，在阿联酋和阿拉伯地区高等教育机构的本科生中，关于自我感知的就业能力的发表研究很少。本文不仅对这一课题的研究有所贡献，而且对两个量表进行了验证，对阿拉伯地区和全球本科生的SPE和UC进行了跨文化比较。
Validation of measurement scales for undergraduate students' self-perceived employability and university commitment in the United Arab Emirates
Purpose The purpose of this study is to validate the psychometric properties of the Self-Perceived Employability Scale in the context of the United Arab Emirates (UAE-SPE) and to verify the model fit of the UAE-SPE and University Commitment Scale (UC) (Rothwell et al. , 2008) for undergraduate students. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey study was carried out to collect the data using a web-based survey tool (Qualtrics) at a public university in the UAE. The sample was 646 undergraduate students. Findings As a result of the factor analysis, the study validated three factors of SPE for undergraduate students in the UAE that explain their perceptions of their university reputation, their field of study, the state of the UAE labour market and confidence in their skills. Confirmatory factor analysis verified good model fit indices of UAE-SPE and the UC scale. In addition, the study found a statistically significant positive relationship between the UC scale and the three factors of UAE-SPE. Originality/value Currently, there is a scarcity of published research on self-perceived employability amongst undergraduate students in higher education institutions in the UAE and the Arab region. This article not only contributes to research on this topic but also validates two scales, allowing cross-cultural comparisons of SPE and UC of undergraduate students in the Arab region and worldwide.
期刊介绍：
Education + Training addresses the increasingly complex relationships between education, training and employment and the impact of these relationships on national and global labour markets. The journal gives specific consideration to young people, looking at how the transition from school/college to employment is achieved and how the nature of partnerships between the worlds of education and work continues to evolve. The journal explores vocationalism in learning and efforts to address employability within the curriculum, together with coverage of innovative themes and initiatives within vocational education and training. The journal is read by policy makers, educators and academics working in a wide range of fields including education, learning and skills development, enterprise and entrepreneurship education and training, induction and career development. Coverage: Managing the transition from school/college to work New initiatives in post 16 vocational education and training Education-Business partnerships and collaboration Links between education and industry The graduate labour market Work experience and placements The recruitment, induction and development of school leavers and graduates Young person employability and career development E learning in further and higher education Research news Reviews of recent publications.
