취업자의 사회 연결망 활용에 대한 영향 요인 연구 = A Study on Factors Affecting Job Seekers` Utilization of Social Networks

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigates the factors affecting job seekers` utilization of social networks in Korean job markets by using the East Asia Social Survey on People`s Work Life: South Korea data collected in 1996. If employees are analyzed as a whole, social networks have been used more frequently than formal means and direct application. Results of the multinomial logistic regression largely show that job seekers who occupy better positions in job markets have used social networks less frequently. This is due to the characteristics of Korean job markets: (1) Korean job markets are clearly divided by several criteria, and (2) in the sectors of job markets which provide better socioeconomic rewards, the competition through formal means is the main path of getting jobs.
