  • Proactive coping and job insecurity among solo self-employed workers

    Open AccessJudith B Langerak, Edwin A J Van Hooft et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2025

    Job insecurity can harm workers' health and work performance. Adding to prior research that has mostly identified ways to minimize job insecurity among regular workers (e.g., employment protection legislation), the current research focusses on solo self-employed workers to investigate whether they can influence job insecurity by their own means. Based on proactive coping theory and conservation of resources theory, we propose a cyclic model in wh…

  • Challenge or Threat? Proposing and Testing a Career Shock Coping Model

    Open AccessDaan A H Fris, Annelies E M Van Vianen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Career Development2024

    Career shocks can significantly impact individuals’ career development. We propose that how a career shock affects career development depends on how people appraise it. Specifically, our Career Shock Coping (CSC) model proposes that, dependent on personal characteristics, individuals differ in the extent to which they appraise career shocks as challenging and/or threatening. Challenge and threat appraisals inspire approach- and avoidance-oriented…

  • How to minimize job insecurity

    Open AccessJudith B Langerak, Jessie Koen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2022

    Job insecurity is no longer a temporary setback but an experience that many workers endure for prolonged periods of time during their career. While there is much research on the behaviors that may help workers to cope with the negative consequences of job insecurity (i.e., reactive coping), insight into behaviors that may help workers to minimize or even prevent the experience of job insecurity itself is still minimal (i.e., proactive coping). Ye…

  • Job search and employment success

    Edwin A J Van Hooft, John D Kammeyer-Mueller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Psychology2021

    Job search is an important activity that people engage in during various phases across the life span (e.g., school-to-work transition, job loss, job change, career transition). Based on our definition of job search as a goal-directed, motivational, and self-regulatory process, we present a framework to organize the multitude of variables examined in the literature on job seeking and employment success. We conducted a quantitative synthesis of the…

  • A temporal perspective of job search

    Open AccessSarah M van den Hee, Edwin A J Van Hooft et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Behavior2020

    Job search is a lengthy process in which self-regulation is needed to obtain reemployment. Time and motivation play an important role in how job seekers regulate their search behavior. Building on temporal motivation theory and self-determination theory we examined the relationship of time-related personality attributes, job search motivation, and their interaction with self-regulatory job search behaviors and subsequent outcomes of the job searc…

  • Job Search and the School-to-Work Transition

    Edwin A J Van Hooft, Alan M Saks et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Job Loss and…2014

    The school-to-work transition (STWT) is a major life event for those who must leave behind their lives as full-time students and begin new lives as a full-time employees. Although much has been written about the STWT, the role and importance of job search has often been neglected. At the same time, research on job search has tended to treat the job-search process as an independent and isolated activity. In this chapter, I describe an integrated m…

  • Predicting applicants' job pursuit behavior from their selection expectations

    Open AccessBert Schreurs, Eva Derous et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2008Cited by: 2References: 11

    Applicants' pretest expectations about the forthcoming selection procedure may serve as a key factor in applicants' decision‐making. The current study examined the validity of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as an explanatory mechanism of the relationship between pretest selection expectations (warmth/respect, chance to demonstrate potential, difficulty of faking, unbiased assessment, feedback) and job pursuit behavior. Data were collected a…

  • The Cross-Cultural Generalizability of the Theory of Planned Behavior

    Open AccessEdwin A J Van Hooft, Marise Ph Born et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2006Cited by: 1References: 12

    This study examined the cross-cultural generalizability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as applied to job seeking, by comparing samples of native Dutch and Turkish individuals in The Netherlands. Results support the equivalence of the measures used. Moreover, the TPB relationships are found to be comparable across the two samples. Contrary to the predictions, intentions of Turkish individuals are not affected more by subjective norms and …
