SELF‐REPORTED ASSERTIVE JOB‐SEEKING BEHAVIORS OF MINIMALLY EDUCATED JOB HUNTERS
研究了低学历求职者的自信求职行为与就业获得之间的关系，通过三项研究验证了自信求职调查表的有效性，并发现该非认知变量能超越认知能力预测就业。
Little research attention has focused on the job‐search behavior of minimally educated workers. The primary objective of the studies reported was to examine the relationship of self‐reported assertive job‐hunting behavior to acquisition of employment among minimally educated workers. The results of three studies provide: (a) construct validity evidence for the Assertive Job‐Hunting Survey (AJHS; Becker, 1980), (b) evidence for construct similarity across minimally educated job seeker and college student populations, (c) evidence of a significant relationship between the AJHS and both subjective and objective job acquisition criteria in postdictive and predictive research designs, and (d) evidence that the AJHS, a measure of a non‐cognitive variable, can make a unique contribution to the prediction of job acquisition beyond cognitive ability measures.
