Abstract

The trend toward employees` assuming a more significant role in their own learning process, the importance being placed on learning as a core competency and lifelong process, and the recognition of learning as a source of sustainable competitive advantage for individuals and organizations alike have also stimulated tremendous interest in informal learning. Informal learning can best be described as learning that is predominantly unstructured, experiential, and noninstitutionalized. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of informal learning in the workplace on the employees` employability and the moderating effects of person-job, person-organization fit those of relationships. Based on literatures, Informal learning captured a category that, may occur in institutions, but it is not typically classroom based or highly structured, and control of learning rests primarily in the hands of the learner. Also employability is conceptualized as a form of work specific active adaptability that enables workers to identify and realize career opportunities. As such, employability facilitates the movement between jobs, both within and between organizations. Employability are divided into internal flexibility and external mobility, considering the application in internal labor market and external labor market. Because of employability has been broadly defined as the ability to gain and maintain employment, both within and across organizations(Finn, 2000). We proposed direct effects hypothesis and moderating effect hypothesis. To test hypothesis, total of 156 questionnaires were used for analysis. The results are as follows. First, informal learning was positive related to internal flexibility and external mobility. This result shows that informal learning is critical determinant of employability. Second, person-job fit moderate relationship between informal learning and internal flexibility, also informal learning and external mobility. Third, personal-organization fit moderate relationship between informal learning and internal flexibility. Base on the results, this study demonstrates the significant role plays informal learning in relation to employability. The findings of this study provide both theoretical and practical tools to help understanding of informal learning, employability and person-job, person-organization fit.
