Navigating the Black Hole: Explicating Layers of Job Search Context and Adaptational Responses
通过定性研究，揭示了在职和失业求职者面临的五层背景相关求职需求（整体、组织、社会、任务和个人），并构建了过程模型解释这些需求如何通过情绪管理、反馈寻求和自我反思影响求职结果。
Via a qualitative study, we introduce and elucidate 5 layers of context‐related job search demands (omnibus, organizational, social, task, and personal) that are encountered by both employed and unemployed job seekers. We develop a process model to portray the mechanisms (managing mood and motivation, feedback/help seeking, and self‐reflection/learning) through which these context‐related demands are related to several important job search outcomes. We provide new insight into employed job seekers, showing that they report the job search as full of difficulties, obstacles, and challenges, and that some of these demands parallel those that unemployed job seekers face.
