Correlation between perceived employability, education and social support

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati odnose između percipirane zapošljivosti, socijalne podrške i stupnja obrazovanja. U istraživanju su navedena tri istraživačka pitanja koji glase: 1. utvrditi kakav je doprinos određenih dimenzija socijalne podrške percipiranoj zapošljivosti; 2. utvrditi kakav je doprinos određenih dimenzija socijalne podrške ostvarenom stupnju obrazovanja te 3. utvrditi postoje li razlike u percipiranoj zapošljivosti s obzirom na stupanj obrazovanja. Istraživanje je provedeno od srpnja 2015. do listopada 2016. godine. Podaci su prikupljeni anketnim upitnikom uz pomoć web ankete, grupnog anketiranja i anketiranje lice u lice, te je u njemu sudjelovalo 175 ispitanika u dobi od 18 do 28 godina. Anketa koja je korištena u istraživanju sadrži nekoliko cjelina: opća obilježja, osnovna škola, srednja škola, okolnosti odrastanja, odnos s roditeljima tijekom odrastanja, visoko obrazovanje, prijelaz iz obrazovanja na tržište rada, karijera, prvi posao, nezaposlenost, trenutni posao, sadašnja životna situacija te evaluacija upitnika. Istraživanjem je samo jedna hipoteza potvrđena: osobe s većim brojem prijatelja, s većom socijalnom podrškom od strane okoline i većom uključenošću roditelja u obrazovanje imaju viši stupanj obrazovanja. Dimenzije socijalne podrške se nisu pokazale značajnima za percipiranu zapošljivost, kao ni razlike u percipiranoj zapošljivosti s obzirom na stupanj obrazovanja.The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived employability, social support and education. In this study is mentioned three research questions: 1. identify the contribution of certain dimensions of social support to perceived employability; 2. identify the contribution of certain dimensions of social support to the level of education achieved and 3. determine whether there are differences in the perceived employability with level of education. Research was conducted from July 2015 to October 2016. The data was collected with a web survey, group survey and "face to face" interviews, and it involved 175 young people aged 18-28 years. The survey that was used in the study contains several sections: general characteristics, primary school, secondary school, the circumstances of growing up, relationship with parents while growing up, higher education, the transition from education to work, career, first job, unemployment, current job, the current life situation and evaluation questionnaires. In this study only one hypothesis was confirmed: persons with a large number of friends, with greater social support and greater involvement of parents in education have a higher level of education. There was no significant contribution of social support dimensions' on perceived employability as well as no significant differences in perceived employability with regard to the degree of education
