Abstract

Günümüz iş dünyasında örgütlerin rekabet üstünlüğü çoğunlukla üstün ve farklı becerilere sahip insan sermayesine bağlıdır. Çalışanların sert yetenekleri bir işi yapabilme açısından gerekliyken, yumuşak beceriler çalışanların işlerinde uzun süreli kalmalarını ve kariyerlerinde ilerlemelerine katkı sağlamaktadır. Yumuşak becerilerin farklı bir yönü olan istihdam edilebilirlik becerileri ise yeni mezunların daha kolay iş bulabilmelerini ve kariyerlerinde ilerlemelerini kolaylaştırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda ulusal literatürde derinlemesine ilk kez incelenen bu çalışmada sert, yumuşak ve istihdam edilebilirlik becerileri teorik olarak ele alınmış ve iş dünyası açısından yumuşak ve istihdam edilebilirlik becerilerinin önemi vurgulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, son dönemde yumuşak becerilerin sert becerilerden daha fazla önem kazandığı, işverenlerin işe giriş esnasında yumuşak becerileri teknik becerilerden daha fazla önemsediği ve özellikle istihdam edilebilirlik becerilerinin işe girişte kritik öneme sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract

In today's business world, the competitive advantage of organizations mostly depends on human capital with superior and different skills. While the hard skills of the employees are necessary for doing a job, the soft skills contribute to the long-term retention of the employees and their career advancement. Employability skills, which are a different aspect of soft skills, make it easier for new graduates to find a job and progress in their careers. In this context, in this study which is discussed for the first time in the national literature, hard, soft and employability skills are discussed theoretically and the importance of soft and employability skills in terms of business world is emphasized. As a result, it has been determined that soft skills have gained more importance than hard skills in the recent period, employers care more about soft skills than technical skills during employment, and employability skills are of critical importance in employment.
