本研究采用实验性的受试者间因子设计，探讨学业成绩和课外活动参与是否会影响商科毕业生的就业能力。 349 名葡萄牙成年人对 8 份虚构的商科毕业生简历进行了评分，简历的学习成绩、课外活动参与情况和性别各不相同。结果表明，高学业成绩加上参加课外活动会导致更高的就业能力感知，而参加课外活动加上中等学业成绩会导致较低的工作适合性，但在个人组织、时间管理和学习技能方面的评分几乎相同。这些推论不受申请人性别或受访者特征的影响。研究结果强调，学业成绩与课外活动相结合可以成为一种有价值的独特方法，可以帮助商科毕业生进入劳动力市场。 (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
This study examines whether the academic performance and the participation in extracurricular activities affect the perceived employability of business graduates using an experimental between-subjects factorial design. Eight fictitious resumes of business graduates varying in terms of academic performance, participation in extracurricular activities and gender were rated by 349 Portuguese working adults. The results showed that a high academic performance combined with the participation in extracurricular activities resulted in higher perceived employability, whereas the participation in extracurricular activities combined with a modest academic performance resulted in lower job suitability but nearly identical high ratings of personal organization and time management, and learning skills. These inferences were unaffected by either applicant gender or respondent's characteristics. The findings highlight the prominence of academic performance that combined with extracurricular activities can be a valuable distinctiveness approach to ease the entrance in the labour market of business graduates.
