This research examined the relationship between individual differences in the tendency towards locomotion (i.e., the aspect of self-regulation concerned with movement from state to state), job search behaviors, and positive employment outcomes (i.e., number of interviews, number of job offers, employment status). Data from two studies with unemployed Italian job seekers found support for a chain reaction towards employment that is initiated by locomotion orientation: individuals who are characterized by high locomotion show more intense job search behavior, as a result, they receive more interviews and job offers, and are more likely to attain employment. These findings are consistent with the literatures on locomotion orientation (Kruglanski, Thompson, Higgins, Atash, Pierro, Shah, & Spiegel, 2000) and job search success (Saks, 2006). Implications for the effect of locomotion orientation on job search success and employment status are discussed.

Abstract
This research examined the relationship between individual differences in the tendency towards locomotion (i.e., the aspect of self-regulation concerned with movement from state to state), job search behaviors, and positive employment outcomes (i.e., number of interviews, number of job offers, employment status). Data from two studies with unemployed Italian job seekers found support for a chain reaction towards employment that is initiated by locomotion orientation: individuals who are characterized by high locomotion show more intense job search behavior, as a result, they receive more interviews and job offers, and are more likely to attain employment. These findings are consistent with the literatures on locomotion orientation (Kruglanski, Thompson, Higgins, Atash, Pierro, Shah, & Spiegel, 2000) and job search success (Saks, 2006). Implications for the effect of locomotion orientation on job search success and employment status are discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
