The Employability Market Orientation (EMO) model, which is more extensive than traditional approaches in the field of personal marketing, along with a questionnaire for its measurement, makes the employee "anti-fragile" behaving as a micro-entrepreneur (workpreneur). It achieves high levels of employability and marketability and low job insecurity. This attitude has consequences for employers such as low employee loyalty and commitment. Thus, HR specialists will be able to develop adequate solutions and methods reducing the effects of retention. The EMO questionnaire contained in the book will allow them to diagnose such attitudes. This book guides readers through the world of the rules of the contemporary labor market with the end of life-long employment, encouraging to have a proactive attitude by both the employee and the employer. Its originality lies in the fact that it focuses on employees who can be adopted, not being victims of flexible human resource management. It is written in an objective manner, supported by reliable research with advanced statistical analysis, and will be of value to researchers of management, the labor market, career counselling, sociologists and work psychologists. Proposed indicators of often imprecise concepts such as mobility and professional flexibility are explored. These concepts will help scholars to conduct research on new phenomena and develop theories of modern organization with disappearing borders and transactional relations.
