Examining the Joint Roles of Goal Orientation and Expectancy-Value Theories in Job Search. A Three-Wave Study in a Difficult Labor Market.
This study simultaneously tested goal orientation and expectancy-value theories on job search strategies amongst unemployed job seekers in three-time points (nT1 = 859; nT2 = 720; nT3 = 418). Results showed that goal orientation predicted job search strategies beyond expectancy-value variables, indicating the relevance of job-search motivation in job search.
