Abstract

The objective of the article is to carry out a review and conceptual analysis of the transition of young adults from the academic scenario to the labor market. The proposal of the article is to approach the conceptualizations of the phenomenon and particularly the role played by Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory, which has Bandura as its main exponent. The focus on this theory is due to its consistency and robustness in explaining the relationship between social cognitive traits and labor market incorporation. The education-labor market transition demands the implementation of skills that facilitate it: perceived self-efficacy, expectations and self-evaluations, on the cognitive level, are explanatory variables of success or failure in labor market incorporation. On the social level, skills such as anticipatory socialization, the adoption of a role and relational social capital are also associated with labor market incorporation, since the education-labor market transition involves both cognitive and social factors. Regarding the former, we can cite perceived self-efficacy, expectations and self-evaluations, all of which refer to the confrontation with the labor market. Regarding the social components, anticipatory socialization, relational social capital and the implementation of the new role can be considered. An analysis of the social conditioning factors involved in the education-labor market transition process, a conceptual review of the transition concept, and a conceptual review of the Social Cognitive Theory and its applications in the field of research are carried out.
