چکیده
پژوهش حاضر با هدف واکاوی ادراکات مدیران شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان و فناور شهر یزد از علل عدم آمادگی اشتغال‌پذیری دانش‌آموختگان دوره کارشناسی صورت گرفت. رویکرد پژوهش حاضر کیفی و از نوع پدیدارشناسی تفسیری بود. تعداد شرکت‌کنندگان پژوهش ۱۰ نفر از مدیران شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان و فناور پارک علم و فناوری اقبال یزد بودند که به‌صورت نمونه‌گیری هدفمند انتخاب شدند. مصاحبه عمیق نیمه‌ساختاریافته به‌عنوان ابزار پژوهش مورداستفاده قرار گرفت. داده‌ها با استفاده از روش اسمیت تحلیل شدند. برای تعیین اعتبار داده‌ها از روش سه‌سوسازی (تطبیق توسط اعضاء، بررسی همکار، مشارکتی بودن پژوهش و بازاندیشی پژوهشگر) استفاده شد. کدگذاری نیز توسط پژوهشگر و فرد متخصص دیگری در حوزه کیفی انجام و مورد مقایسه قرار گرفت. درنهایت ادراکات تجربه‌شده مدیران شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان و فناور از علل عدم آمادگی دانش‌آموختگان دوره کارشناسی برای اشتغال در قالب 3 مضمون اصلی: ضعف در کسب مهارت‌های نرم، ادراکی و فنی (11 زیرمضمون) کیفیت نامطلوب آموزش‌های دانشگاهی (5 زیرمضمون) و ضعف در سیاست‌گذاری و برنامه‌ریزی (5 زیرمضمون)، شناسایی شد. بر اساس یافته‌های پژوهش، سیاست‌گذاران و برنامه‌ریزان آموزشی می‌توانند با شناسایی علل عدم آمادگی اشتغال‌پذیری دانش‌آموختگان در شرکت‌های دانش‌بنیان و فناور، الزامات آماده‌سازی آنان برای اشتغال در این شرکت‌ها را فراهم نمایند.

چکیده [English]
This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions of managers of knowledge-based and technology companies in Yazd City, Iran, regarding the causes of bachelor's graduates' unpreparedness for employment. A phenomenological approach was used to examine the experiences of 10 managers from knowledge-based and technology companies located in the Yazd Science and Technology Park. The participants were selected using purposive sampling. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted, and the collected data were analyzed using Smith’s method. To ensure the validity of the findings, triangulation was employed, including (member checking, peer review, collaborative research, and researcher reflexivity). Coding was performed by the researcher in collaboration with another expert in qualitative research, and the results were compared. The analysis identified three main themes: (1) Weakness in acquiring soft, cognitive, and technical skills (with 11 sub-themes); (2) Poor quality of university education (with 5 sub-themes); and (3) Deficiencies in policymaking and planning (with 5 sub-themes). Based on the findings, educational policymakers and planners can address the factors hindering graduates' employability in knowledge-based and technology companies and take necessary actions to better prepare them for employment in these companies.
