Abstract
Grounded in human capital theory (HCT), this
study investigates how the quality of information resources (QIR) provided by
institutional employability centres shapes students' perceived employability.
Using three-wave, time-lagged data collected from students enrolled in various
academic disciplines, covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM)
was employed to test the hypothesised relationships. Results demonstrate that
QIR positively predicts perceived employability (Hypothesis 1) and that this
relationship is mediated by career clarity (Hypothesis 2), job market knowledge
(Hypothesis 3), and the sequential pathway from career clarity to job market
knowledge (Hypothesis 4). These findings offer theoretical and practical
insights for academics, policymakers, and career development practitioners
seeking to enhance employability outcomes through high-quality institutional
resources.
