DEVELOPMENT OF THE “GETTING READY FOR YOUR NEXT JOB” INVENTORY FOR UNEMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS
开发了一个自评量表，帮助不同教育背景的失业者了解自己的求职情况，并通过多阶段验证其预测求职结果的有效性。
This article describes the development of a self‐administered inventory to provide unemployed job seekers of varying education levels and backgrounds with insight into their job search. The inventory was refined in 5 phases with multiple samples. Evidence for predictive validity was provided by examining the relationship between the inventory components ( job‐search intensity, Internet use, job‐search confidence, job‐search clarity, support, stress and worry, skills, barriers, job‐search experience, difference between last wage and wage desired, time spent in job search, and number of interviews in last 2 weeks) and employment outcomes several months later. The inventory, titled “Getting Ready for Your Next Job” (YNJ), is shown in the Appendix . Interested users may download a PDF or Microsoft Word version of the YNJ from http://www.ynj.csom.umn.edu/ .
