Abstract

What was described in the article was the notion of employability and the intervening variable influencing the employability. Also the model of students? self-perceived employability was presented. This model and the students employability scale were created based on the British pattern and the Polish research in the scope of Personal Knowledge and Information Management (PKIM). In the light of the empirical studies carried out in 2011 among Polish students of Information Studies, the correlation between students? self-assessment of employability and PKIM was very high (0.99). The general selfassessment level of respondents was presented in the first part of this publication, and in the second part ? the detailed observations were described.
