Abstract
The rise of AI is reshaping labor markets and employability across generations. This study examines how AI competence, human capital, and social capital impact career resilience among Generations X, Y, and Z. Using a large-scale online survey (N=723) and hierarchical regression analysis, findings reveal that Generation X relies on professional networks, Generation Y balances AI skills and networking, while Generation Z struggles to translate AI proficiency into career benefits. These digital labor ruptures underscore the importance of both technological adaptation and social capital in employment outcomes. Policy recommendations highlight the need for AI upskilling programs, intergenerational learning, and structured career support to foster workforce resilience. By addressing generational differences and promoting adaptable career strategies, this research enhances understanding of employability in the AI-driven era.
