Abstract

This research paper is aiming to explore the problems deriving to employees from overqualification feelings. Why should we speak about overqualification in times where too much demands for education and qualification are being required to employees in the market? What are the reflections of overqualified employees at work? Could overqualification be reduced if organizations should better hire employees?All these research questions have been part of the study supported from the exploration of the theoretical concepts of psychologists referring as well to the reality of the employees in Albania crossing the poor trade market and experiencing several psycho-social problems such as stress, low self-esteem, lack of job satisfaction and chances of turnover. This research article ends up imposing another research question: Should overqualification be considered a social problem which needs to be addressed and oriented even to organizational and clinical psychologists? Recommendation are given to offer orientation and to intervene in this cause: more overqualified employees would bring more psychological problems to individuals. They should be well treated and oriented from clinical psychologists and even to organizational psychologists dealing with recruitment and hiring of the overqualified, especially when the job market is weak and the people feel less satisfied with their jobs.
