To date, the link between perceptions of employability and career satisfaction has been demonstrated theoretically more than empirically. To address this concern, this study examines employee perceptions of internal employability and how these perceptions relate to career satisfaction. In addition, this study investigates the mediating role of embeddedness on the relationship between employability and career satisfaction. The results of the study indicate that internal employability is positively related to career satisfaction. In addition, the results indicate that embeddedness fully mediates the relationship between perceived internal employability and career satisfaction.
Accounting literature deploys audit quality as a central concept of auditing, yet our appreciation of the construct has not yielded the desired audit.

Using survey responses from auditors of their perceptions about audit quality in the auditing industry, this paper rolls back the evolution of audit quality literature to report what those actually doing audits perceive. A conceptual model that specifies auditor characteristics with ex ante and process constraints as a moderator identifies the extent to which auditor's independence, integrity and objectivity impact the quality of financial statement auditing. The research also finds that process constraints negatively impact the positive effect of auditor's characteristics on audit quality. Findings from our research show that audit practitioners' perceptions about factors that determine audit quality must be strongly considered in order to achieve desired audit.
