The Role and Types of Job Search Strategies as Career Growth Tool for Mid-Career Professionals Journal of Career Development 42,4 (August 2015): 339-350. Also: http://jcd.sagepub.com/content/42/4/339.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Job Promotion; Job Satisfaction; Job Search; Wage Growth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study examines whether and how job search strategies mediate the relationship between core self-evaluations (CSE) and career growth for mid-career professionals. Using a path analysis approach to analyze a national sample of mid-career professionals (N = 269), results revealed that CSE was positively related to the direct job search strategy (i.e., contacting employers directly) and negatively to the networking job search strategy (i.e., contacting friends/relatives). Interestingly, the direct job search strategy was positively related to both a recent promotion and salary increase (i.e., objective career growth), while the networking job search strategy was positively related to increased job satisfaction (i.e., subjective career growth). Findings also indicated that CSE was positively related to salary increase and a recent promotion. These findings suggest that job search strategies are one mechanism through which individual differences, such as CSE, can influence mid-career professionals' career growth. |

Connecting the Forgotten Half: The School-to-Work Transition of Noncollege-Bound Youth Journal of Career Development 40,4 (2013): 347-367. Also: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0894845312455506 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Sage Publications Keyword(s): Depression (see also CESD); Educational Attainment; Employment; Employment, In-School; Income; Substance Use; Transition, School to Work Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. While previous research has examined the school-to-work transition of noncollege-bound youth, most have considered how a limited set of variables relate to job attainment at a single point in time. This exploratory study extended beyond the identification of constructs associated with obtaining a job to investigate how several factors, collected longitudinally in adolescence, related to employment stability and job quality with a diverse, nationally representative sample of non-college-bound youth. Logistic regression and structural equation modeling were used to determine the predictors of an adaptive school-to-work transition over time. Depression, substance use, adolescent educational attainment, and employment in adolescence were associated positively with obtaining employment. Adolescent educational attainment and employment in adolescence were associated positively with stability of employment. Depression, adolescent educational attainment, employment in adolescence, and income were positively associated with job quality. Substance use and parental education level were negatively associated with job quality. |
