This research was conducted to find out the relationships of psychological capital with perceived employability and its dimensions (i.e., self-efficacy, hope, optimism and psychological resilience). In this context, a questionnaire was employed to students from various high schools and faculties (264) electronically via random sampling method. The analysis findings support that the structural validity of the scales is appropriate and that the psychological capital and dimensions of the students significantly and positively affect the perceived employability. It is thought that results of the current research can make a significant contribution to filling the literature gap related to the subject and can enhance the training and development processes of people who will start a business life for the first time or people thinking about career change, in a practical sense.

The aim of this study is to determine the relation between the perceived employability and excess workload. For this purpose, with the participation of the employees at a public institution located in the province of Malatya, being engaged in the transport sector (TCDD), (n = 213) the related data were collected. As a result of the analysis carried out, it was determined that excess workload affected the perceived employability in a positive and significant way. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that there wasn't a meaningful relationship between the gender and positions and the perceived employability. In addition, it was determined that the employees having a graduate degree have much more perception of employability than others in a meaningful way. The results obtained were discussed by comparing with the studies in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
