The educational institutions are supposed to facilitate required facilities like libraries, laboratories, advanced teaching and practical job-related facilities to the students. Teacher abilities and expertise in inspiring and motivating the student to achieve better outcomes is the next important aspect to be looked upon. Teachers are supposed to instruct and direct the students to perform qualitatively in the academics and in attaining the jobs. And finally, the student personal characteristics like self-interest, career aspiration, engagement and involvement are also important to achieve better results. As Indian higher educational institutes, more particularly the Management colleges in private sector, are poor in these lines, students are not getting equipped properly and placed in the industries to the extent it actually needs. Hence, the present study has been taken up to develop the scales for measuring the institutional and instructional quality of the teachers and assessing the impact of these factors on the student satisfaction and engagement which may lead to job readiness of the student.
The study adopted purposive sampling technique for data collection from the student respondents connected to various MBA colleges in the state of Andhra Pradesh. The data were anlayzed using suitable statistical techniques like Structural Equation Modeling with help of SPSS, AMOS, and jamovi. The results have showed that the student job readiness is possible through Institutional quality, teacher instructional quality and student factors like satisfaction and engagement. Based on these five constructs, the study proposed a Research conceptual model with direct and indirect relationships of institutional quality and instructional quality on student job readiness. To predict the student job readiness, the researcher developed two scales namely, HiEdInstaQual and InstructQual by identifying the student perceived institutional quality and instructional quality measuring factors with the support of literature and expert suggestions.
In order to improve student job readiness, it is required to improve the teacher instructional quality and inspire the student to be engaged in academic activities. The proposed research model can be applied in any educational research studies in the context of predicting student job readiness from student perspective. The stakeholders like colleges, students, teachers, policy makers and industries may focus on these aspects.
