Prediction of Employment Status Choice Intentions
基于计划行为理论，研究了128名挪威商科本科生对工资就业或自雇就业的选择意向，发现态度、主观规范和感知行为控制能有效预测意向，而人口特征仅通过这三个变量间接影响。
The present research applied the theory of planned behavior to predict employment status choice, defined as the intention to enter an occupation as a wage or salaried individual or as a self-employed one. The role of family background, sex, and prior self-employment experience was also investigated. Using a sample of 128 Norwegian undergraduate business students, the findings strongly support the theory of planned behavior as applied to employment status choice intentions. Moreover, demographic characteristics were found to influence employment status choice intentions only indirectly through their effect on attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control.
