구직활동의 영향요인에 관한 탐색적 연구 = An Exploratory Study on Social Factors Affecting Job Search Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study presents an empirical analysis of job search behaviors by using the 3rd Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) data. The first finding of the study is that specific job search methods, respectively categorized as the indirect and the formal pattern, show the contrasting consequences of causality, as given job searchers`personal attributes and other social factors. Secondly, this analysis confirms that job searchers` education level is the most important factor that influences their behavioral patterns in a consistent manner. Moreover, it is evident in this exploratory study that job searchers` social network (particularly whether to have close ties with relatives of high social rank) is a statistically important factor to influence the extent of job search methods in use, while their fathers` education level also significantly affects the choice of job search patterns.
