The gender differences in job-seeking behaviors among college seniors.

The purpose of this study was to examine the gender differences in job-seeking variables such as work values, major commitment, perceived barrier factors in employment, career indecision, job-search behavior, self-efficacy of job-seeking, job-seeking stress, and mental health in 2,530 college seniors. The results showed significant gender differences on several aspects as expected. That is, female students had more difficulties in job seeking behaviors than male ones. Female students showed higher rates of career indecision and less active job-seeking behavior than male ones. Female students perceived more gender discrimination and physical problems such as appearance and height as barrier factors in getting a job than male ones. Female students experienced lower self-efficacy of job-seeking and more job-seeking stress and mental health problems than male ones. Finally, meanings of these results and suggestions for further research were discussed.
