摘要
虽然社会阶层是贯穿整个社会科学的一个重要建构,但它在工业组织心理学、组织行为学和人力资源管理文献中只得到很少的关注。因此,人们对社会阶层在工作和职业环境中的潜在作用知之甚少。本研究考察了社会阶层在求职过程中的作用。我们整合了自我调节和社会阶层的观点,假设社会阶层可能会影响求职前因、行为和结果。对新入职者(N = 516)的纵向数据分析表明,与社会阶层较高的求职者相比,社会阶层较低的求职者具有较低的求职自我效能感、较低的社会支持感和较高的经济困难感。此外,研究结果表明,通过低自我效能的机制,低社会阶层的求职者表现出较低的求职强度。最后,社会阶层的一个指标——父母收入——与工作接受率正相关,这是一个反映参与者是否接受一份工作以及多快接受一份工作的危险结果。主观社会阶层与工作接受率呈负相关。总的来说,目前的研究结果表明,社会阶层在求职过程中起着多方面的作用,因此,值得在这个和其他组织研究领域给予更多的关注。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA,版权所有)。
Different starting lines, different finish times: The role of social class in the job search process.
Although social class is an important construct throughout the social sciences, it has received only minimal attention in the industrial-organizational psychology, organizational behavior, and human resource management literatures. As a result, little is known regarding the potential role of social class in the work and career context. The present study examines the role of social class during the job search process. We integrate self-regulation and social class perspectives to hypothesize ways social class may influence job search antecedents, behaviors, and outcomes. Analysis of longitudinal data from new job entrants (N = 516) indicated that job seekers from lower social classes possess lower job search self-efficacy, lower perceived social support, and higher perceived financial hardship compared with those from higher social classes. Further, results suggest that through the mechanism of lower self-efficacy, lower social class job seekers display lower job search intensity. Finally, one indicator of social class-parental income-was positively related to job acceptance rate, a hazard outcome that reflected whether and how quickly participants accepted a job. In contrast, subjective social class was negatively related to job acceptance rate. Overall, the present findings suggest that social class plays a multifaceted role in the job search process and, thus, warrants more attention within this and other areas of organizational research.
