Within the context of modern, turbulent careers, perceived employability (PE)—one's perceived chances of obtaining a new job—has risen in importance as a crucial psychological resource that enables individuals to better cope with and navigate this environment. Increased attention to the construct has brought tremendous interest into its determinants. Several models of employability determinants have been proposed to account for PE, each taking a different perspective concerning what it means to be employable. Although hundreds of studies evaluating relationships between variables outlined by these models and PE have been carried out, the literature is scattered and contradictory. The various predictor models outline unique sets of PE determinants. Further, the specific operationalizations of these determinants vary widely across studies, as do the empirical findings. There also exists a paucity of research attempting to compare and contrast findings between these models, thus the relative strengths and weaknesses of these various frameworks in accounting for PE are unknown. To address these issues, drawing upon influential models of PE determinants, we carry out a comprehensive meta-analytic review of the literature, spanning 202 studies (k = 221 independent samples). We observed evidence suggesting that, among the various models applied, Movement Capital dimensions (i.e., human capital, social capital, career insight, adaptability) consistently exhibited the most robust correlations with PE. We also observed some evidence suggesting that certain relationships are truncated for unemployed individuals as compared to employees or students. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

在现代、动荡的职业背景下，感知就业能力 (PE)——一个人获得新工作的感知机会——作为一种重要的心理资源变得越来越重要，它使个人能够更好地应对和驾驭这种环境。对该结构的日益关注引起了对其决定因素的极大兴趣。已经提出了几种就业能力决定因素模型来解释 PE，每个模型都对可就业意味着什么采取了不同的观点。尽管已经开展了数百项评估这些模型概述的变量与 PE 之间关系的研究，但文献是零散且相互矛盾的。各种预测模型概述了独特的 PE 决定因素集。此外，这些决定因素的具体操作在不同的研究中差异很大，实证结果也是如此。也存在试图比较和对比这些模型之间结果的研究很少，因此这些不同框架在解释 PE 方面的相对优势和劣势是未知的。为了解决这些问题，我们利用有影响力的 PE 决定因素模型，对涵盖 202 项研究的文献进行了全面的元分析回顾。k  = 221 个独立样本）。我们观察到的证据表明，在应用的各种模型中，运动资本维度（即人力资本、社会资本、职业洞察力、适应性）始终表现出与 PE 的最强大的相关性。我们还观察到一些证据表明，与雇员或学生相比，失业人员的某些关系被截断了。讨论了对研究和实践的影响。
