The Effect of Attribution and Hardiness on Job-seeking Efficacy: Mediation Effects of Mental Health and Reemployment Barrier

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors that influence on the reemployment success. Based on previous findings regarding the efficacy-performance relationships, this research examined factors that are effective in increasing job-seeking efficacy. A survey research was conducted using 1539 adult job seekers, and we examined the extent to which job seekers`s internal attribution and psychological hardiness in regards to their loss of employment affect their job-seeking efficacy via the two mediating variables, mental health and reemployment barriers. The results largely supported the suggested model. Job-seekers who attribute the cause of job lose internally showed lower job-seeking efficacy, while individuals with strong hardiness indicated higher job-seeking efficacy. Also, mental health after loss of employment and individuals` perception toward reemployment barriers mediated between the two antecedents (i.e., attribution mode and hardiness) and job-seeking efficacy. Implications were discussed based on the findings, and directions for future research and practical suggestions to help the successful reemployment were provided.
