Exploring the Emotional Side of Job Search Behavior for Younger Workforce Entrants.

Linnehan, Frank; Blau, Gary

Journal of Employment Counseling, v35 n3 p98-113 Sep 1998

A sample of 18- to 23-year-old workforce entrants (N=332) was broken into subsamples. Study 1 found support for detached and interactive job-search behavior which seemed to represent different levels of emotional involvement in the job-search process. Study 2 involved working college students (N=117) and found that extroverts favored interactive job-search behaviors, whereas introverts favored detached search behaviors. (Author/MKA)
