Resumo

Objetivo: O ensino da área de negócios recebe considerável ênfase na academia e no mercado de trabalho, visto a preocupação com a empregabilidade e busca por profissionais qualificados. Nesse sentido, o estudo objetiva analisar a influência da autoeficácia acadêmica e habilidades técnicas na empregabilidade percebida de estudantes de graduação da área de negócios. De forma complementar, verifica se os alunos dos diferentes cursos apresentam as mesmas percepções quanto às análises propostas.

Fundamento: O estudo se baseia na literatura de autoeficácia (acadêmica), habilidades (técnicas) e empregabilidade percebida, no contexto de discentes da área de negócios.

Método: Uma survey foi realizada com graduandos dos cursos de Administração e Ciências Contábeis de uma instituição de ensino superior pública federal da região sul do Brasil, em que se obteve o retorno de 204 questionários respondidos. Para o teste de hipóteses utilizou-se a modelagem de equações estruturais por mínimos quadrados parciais. Adicionalmente, realizou-se teste de permutação e análise multigrupo.

Resultados: Os resultados revelaram influência positiva e significativa da autoeficácia acadêmica nas habilidades técnicas e dessa última na empregabilidade percebida. Evidenciaram ainda o papel mediador das habilidades técnicas na relação entre autoeficácia acadêmica e empregabilidade percebida. As análises adicionais demonstraram que as relações se mantêm constantes, independente do curso dos estudantes.

Contribuições: O estudo apresenta contribuições para a literatura, principalmente ao elencar o papel do desenvolvimento de habilidades técnicas como um facilitador entre a autoeficácia acadêmica e a empregabilidade percebida. O estudo também fornece insights para os envolvidos no contexto educacional da área de negócios.
