ILO (2008) observed that employability is an outcome of several factors for example core skills, access to education, availability of training opportunities, motivation, ability and facilitation to avail opportunities for acquiring skills that are important in gaining work, managing organizations to handle new technologies and evolving markets. Nevertheless, skill development is required not only for employability of individuals rather it is equally needed for improving the working conditions of workers, to increase organizations’ productivity and sustainability (ILO, 2008).
Furthermore, productivity of an individual is dependent on number of factors in any organization. In context of an IT professional, Hernández-López, Colomo-Palacios, Soto-Acosta, & Lumberas (2015) highlighted in their research work, where they described about productivity measurement. In IT industry the elements of productivity are classified into input, outputs and other factors, where inputs are time and work management, requirements, experience, education and training, and outputs includes documentation, product, quality, team management, project enhancement and maintenance, learning-by-doing, founded solutions, resolution of doubts and sales are measured. They further emphasized that besides inputs and outputs, some other factors are required to be measured in order to improve productivity of individual’s. Based on the above study, it can be subsumed that the other factor may include employability skills.
