This article examines the relationship of career indecision, job search behavior, and employment among college seniors based on sub-scales of career indecision (lack of career information, lack of self-clarity, decisiveness, lack of necessity recognition, external Barrier). This study explored the effect of career indecision, job search behavior, and employment successes(number of application, number of interview, number of job offer) in longitudinal method. In result, career indecision had negative effect on job search behavior. In other words, the higher career indecision level is, the less job search behavior is performed. Especially, career indecision is connected with preparatory job search behavior and informal job search behavior. Another finding is that job search behavior in time 1 (first semester of college senior) had a strong effect on all of employment success variables in time 2(second semester of college senior). Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of this research were discussed. Based on the limitation of this study, several directions for future research were also suggested.

This paper is meaningful in that it empirically studies the good job condition of which young people think and the impact of job search behavior on employment. In addition, employment status and additional job search performance were set as performance variables. The main research results of this study are as follows. First, as for the good job condition considered by young people, wages and salaries in terms of companies, job stability in terms of environment, and work-life balance in terms of individuals were found. Second, job search behavior was found to be a key variable influencing employment status and job search performance. Third, it was found that job-search stress injures employment. Finally, work experience promotes employment and job search performance. Therefore, to increase the employment success rate of young people, above all, various supports for increasing the frequency of young job seekers' active job search behavior are needed. To this end, it suggests that it is necessary to develop a customized youth policy service model and to provide systematic services to meet the needs of young people.

Youth unemployment is a global social issue which leads to a waste of human resources and undermines the national economy. Job search self-efficacy (JSSE) can predict active job search and job search outcomes. The present study identified the factors affecting the JSSE of unemployed youth based on the Neuman Systems Model (NSM). The results indicated that job search period, job search stress, and problem-centred coping ability influenced young job seekers' JSSE, which increased especially with the perception of physical health. Therefore, to promote JSSE, it is necessary to not only establish social systems for the youth but also develop an intervention plan based on the NSM that optimises problem-centred coping ability, a normal line of defence in the individual's system, and maintains a healthy physical state, a line of resistance.

This paper analyzed the effect of job search channels on the occupational adaptation of college graduates, with the Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey(GOMS) data. The analysis results are as follows: First, when using human networks for getting jobs, not only the educational level and major adequacy, but also the workplace satisfaction and the job satisfaction were higher than when using non-human networks. Second, as in the mediating effect of the relationship between job search channels and occupational adaptation by Sobel-test, it was found that there was a partial mediating effect of educational level and major adequacy, excluding skill level adequacy. The results of this study shows that human networks, by serving as an effective information transmitter on person-job fit between job search and recruitment, contribute significantly to improve occupational adaptation of college graduates. These results imply that strategic utilization of human networks in job search activities is important, and that it is necessary that career-related programs in the universities or the employment service institutions systematically include the importance and methods of using human networks.

최근 '코로나 19 (COVID-19)'와 '최저임금 이슈' 등 다양한 외적 요인들이 아르바이트를 포함한 고용시장을 변화시키고 있다. 생계와 학자금을 위해 아르바이트에 뛰어드는 청년들에게는 악재의 연속이다. 이처럼 외부 환경은 점점 구직자에게 불리하게 작용하는데 반해, 이들을 사용자로 둔 구인구직 플랫폼은 수년 째 변화의 모습을 보이지 않는다. 기존 플랫폼은 구인자에게 지나치게 유리한 소통구조를 지니고 있으며, 최근 고용시장의 변화에 따른 단기 및 대타 고용의 수요를 충족시키지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 구인구직 플랫폼의 문제점을 지적함과 동시에 플랫폼이 사용자의 편의를 충족시키기 위해 지녀야 할 고용의 역방향성과 데이터베이스 기반 필터링 및 추천과 같은 핵심 기능들에 대해 자세히 밝히고자 한다. 이를 통해, 사회적 트렌드인 긱 경제를 활성화시킬 뿐만 아니라 구직자 다수를 차지하는 청년들의 구직부담을 완화시킬 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

통계청의 8월 고용동향과 경제활동 인구조사에 따르면, 지난달 국내 실업률은 3.5%로 실업 인구 수가 80만명에 이른 것으로 나타났다. 이중 20대 청년실업자가 차지하는 비율이 40.7%로 전체 실업자의 절반에 육박하고 있어 현재 청년실업 문제가 매우 심각한 것으로 조사됐다. 특히 최근 들어 벤처기업의 1사 1인 채용운동 등 각계에서 고용안정을 위한 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있음에도 불구하고 실업난이 수그러들 기미를 보이지 않음에 따라 취업 알선을 위한 보다 정확하고 신속한 정보 제공이 요구되고 있다. 더구나 중앙고용정보원의 워크넷이나 중소기업청의 인력정보망 등 온라인을 통한 다양한 구인∙구직 사이트들이 활성화돼 있어 구직 희망자들이 적극 활용하고 있는데, 내수침체가 장기화되면서 고용 사정은 좀처럼 개선되지 않고 있다. 2004년 현재 온라인상으로만 채용공고를 하는 기업은 전체 기업의 30% 정도이며, 앞으로는 온라인을 통한 구인구직 활동이 더욱 활발해질 것으로 전망되고 있다. 실제 인터넷에서 채용정보 전문 서비스는 물론 분야별, 지역별로 구인구직 정보를 제공하고 있는 서비스를 합하면 350여개가 넘는다. 이 중 눈에 띄는 서비스가 바로‘워크넷’이다. ‘워크넷’은 노동부 산하 중앙고용정보원이 운영하는 구인구직 전문 사이트로서, 공공기관이 운영한다는 점에서 정보의 신뢰성과 전문성이 기대된다. 특히 하반기 채용 시즌을 맞아 구인구직활동이 더욱 활발해 질것으로 예상되기 때문에 이번 10월 DB서비스 평가에서는‘워크넷’을 소개하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the reemployment rate of unemployed job seekers aged 50 to 59 by supporting the foundation of our society and enhancing their value of life. We analyzed the impact of resilience, a psychological factor, on job seeking of unemployed people in their fifties. Subjects were visited and provided employment services in the Employment Welfare Plus Center in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. We devised a questionnaire consisting of three variables of general characteristics, resilience, and job search. Also, the resilience variables comprised sub-variables of control, positiveness, and sociality, and the job search variables involved sub-variables of job preparation, attitude, and willness. Study results the resilience of unemployed persons aged 50 to 59 is above average, and sub-variables of positiveness are highest compared to other sub-variables. Second, there is no significant gender difference in resilience for job search activities. Third, resilience and its sub-variables, such as control and affirmation, affect job-seeking activities. Therefore, this study suggests strengthening the resilience of job seekers in their fifties as well as providing psychological counseling and job training for job-seeking activities.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the effectiveness of vocational training for the unemployed. The results show that the unemployed who received vocational training commended better performances than those unemployed without any vocational training in respect to the duration of job-seeking period and the success rate of obtaining a job, however no significant change can be found in their wage level after holding a job between the two groups. It can be seen from the cost-benefit analysis, although the trained unemployed show better performance than the untrained unemployed, those that were trained by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry(KCCI) do not show better performance than those that were trained through a private vocational train school since the training cost is much higher in the KCCI.

In this study, we examined the effect of non-cognitive factors on job tenure and tenure using KLIPS. We examine the internal consistency of the big5 personality trait and of the locus of control, and use the parameterized proportional hazards model. As a result, we confirmed that non-cognitive skill such as personality traits and locus of control affect individual labor market performance. Conscientiousness has shown that the job seeking period of adult job seekers is lengthened, thereby lowering the unemployment rate. It can be understood that high attentiveness under uncertainty can misinterpret information, and that lack of decision restricts escape from unemployment. In the tenure analysis, people with internal locus of control tendency were less likely to leave the job due to longer tenure. Those who have internal control can not only be preferred by the organization but also the internal control tendency seems to be the factor that maintains the long-term job because of the motivation and self-control of their actions.

The present study examines the the role of subjectively perceived factors of the attitude toward job-seeking activities in forming an intention to use a web. An integrative research model is presented and tested empirically. It includes the following two aspects of belief in Davis' TAM: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use. Specially, internet job-seeking efficacy, or the belief in one's capabilities to organize and execute courses of Internet actions required to achieve given goals, is a potentially important factor in efforts to gain more favorable attitude toward Internet uses. Survey data were collected to develop a reliable operational measure of Internet job-seeking efficacy and to examine its construct validity. An four-item Internet job-seeking efficacy scale developed for the present study was found to be reliable and internally consistent. Also, many previous studies have established that perceived usefulness is an important factor influencing user acceptance and usage behavior of information technologies. However, very little research has been conducted to understand how that perception forms and changes over time. The current work presents and tests the determinants of perceived usefulness. The present study found that higher internet job-seeking efficacy is an important concept which is significantly related to job-seeking activities by positively influencing intention and performance as well as usefulness on the Internet.
