摘要
求职是一个动态的自我调节过程,在此过程中,求职者需要保持动力以确保找到一份工作。然而,过去的研究采取了相对静态的方法来考察求职过程中的动机,此外还忽略了一个人的动机质量(从自主到受控)如何影响求职过程。采用个人视角,本研究将自我决定理论(SDT)扩展到求职情境中,以调查(a)自主动机和受控动机何时或多或少流行;(b)它们是否通过元认知策略以不同的方式影响求职努力,这取决于在求职中花费的时间。在对新劳动力市场进入者的每周研究中(2级n = 149;水平1 n = 691),结果表明,自主动机下降,直到求职中点,然后趋于平稳,而控制动机保持稳定。结果还表明,自主动机与元认知策略之间存在一致的正相关关系,而控制性动机与元认知策略之间的关系在求职初期为负相关,但随着求职的进展而变为正相关。最后,动机通过元认知策略对求职努力的影响随着求职时间的推移而不同。综上所述,我们首次瞥见了求职过程中自我决定动机的动态。
The role of self-determined motivation in job search: A dynamic approach.
Job search is a dynamic self-regulated process during which job seekers need to stay motivated to secure a job. However, past research has taken a relatively static approach to examining motivation during the job search, in addition to ignoring how the quality of one's motivation--ranging from autonomous to controlled--can influence job search processes. Adopting a within-person perspective, the current study extends self-determination theory (SDT) to the job search context to investigate (a) when autonomous and controlled motivations are more or less prevalent and (b) whether they influence job search effort through metacognitive strategies in differing ways depending upon the amount of time elapsed in the search. In a weekly study of new labor market entrants (Level-2 n = 149; Level-1 n = 691), results indicated that autonomous motivation decreased until the midpoint of the job search and then plateaued, whereas controlled motivation remained stable. Results also showed that autonomous motivation had a consistent, positive relation with metacognitive strategies, whereas the relation between controlled motivation and such strategies was negative early in the job search, but became positive as the job search progressed. Finally, the effects of motivation on job search effort occurred via metacognitive strategies differentially depending upon the time elapsed in the search. Combined, we provide a first glimpse into the dynamics of self-determined motivation on job search processes.
