Triggers of Opportunity Recognition: Does Entrepreneurial Alertness Mediate the Impact of Family, Social, and Government Support on Employability Outcomes?
The present study investigates the roles of Family Support, Social Capital, and Government Support on the Employability of the graduate students, whereby entrepreneurial alertness is used as an intervening variable. The sample size of 400 graduate students was conveniently sampled as the data providers, which is a viable and heterogeneous sample to study. Entrepreneurial Alertness has an intermediary role between these supports and employability because of the support that helps students to recognize and seize opportunities (Tang et al., 2012). It boosts the translation of support systems into implementable strategies that enhance employment chances, especially in dynamic and unstable labor markets. The study hypothesises that all three independent variables have direct and indirect (through entrepreneurial alertness) effects on employability. These hypotheses will be proven by the expected results, as the contribution of personal, social, and institutional factors in graduate employability is of a crucial nature.
