Psychological Researches on Job Search Behaviors
求职行为的心理学研究

Psychologists see effective job search behaviors as precondition of successful employment. Job search behavior is a complex and dynamic process, three dimensions to evaluate job search behavior are described here: frequency-intensity, content-direction, temporal-persistent. There have been many researches about the predictors of job search behavior, and they have obtained various outcomes. The evaluation of job search outcomes has made new progress recently, that is, rather than regarding employment status as a dichotomization-employment and unemployment, but considering kinds of underemployments. The paper commented on some future salient features of job search behavior.
