Ela é tão boa (no que faz)! O papel preditor de autoeficácia, autoestima e percepção de suporte organizacional na percepção de empregabilidade de mulheres brasileiras

Abstract

Women often identify disadvantages associated with their gender in organizations, especially in the face of male predominance in leadership positions and the persistent inequality of opportunities and employability between men and women. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive role of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and perceived organizational support in the self-perception of employability among Brazilian women. The sample consisted of 273 working women, aged between 18 and 65 years (M=30.6; SD=8.68), who completed online the Self-Perception of Employability Scale, the New General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Organizational Support Perception Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results from structural equation modeling indicated a good fit of the model to the data: χ2/df=1.011, CFI=1.000, TLI=.999, and RMSEA (90% CI) = .006 (.000–.022), explaining 35% of the variance in employability perception. The main contribution of this study is to highlight the importance of women seeing themselves positively, believing they are capable, and being placed in supportive contexts to encourage their perception of employability.
