Impact of job search strategy on reemployment outcomes of unemployed youth in Binh Duong province

Abstract:

This study explores the impact of exploratory, haphazard, and focused strategies on three aspects of re-employment outcomes, including income satisfaction, compatibility between abilities, and organizational commitment. Data were col- lected from 384 young people who were unemployed and found work in the past three months in Binh Duong. The results of hypothesis testing show that the exploratory strategy has a positive impact on organizational commitment and a nega- tive effect on the level of income satisfaction. A focused strategy positively impacts all three aspects of re-employment outcomes. The haphazard strategy only hurt organizational commitment. The results suggest implications for policymak- ers and unemployed individuals in building intelligent job search strategies that are ready to adapt to changes in the labor market.
