No full textPredictors of job-search behaviors among Italian job-centers users
No full textIntroduction: Reaching a deeper understanding of job–search behaviors is essential in order to improve
ways individuals can enter and remain into the labour market, especially in countries like Italy, characterized by increasing
levels of unemployment and inefficient job–centers. Several psychological and situational factors predict job-search behaviors
which, in turn, affect chances of reemployment. Objectives. This paper aimed to explore the role of several psychosocial
(i.e. proactive personality and job-search self-efficacy), biographical (i.e. educational level) and socio-economic (i.e. social
support and financial hardship) variables as predictors of job-search behaviors, building upon the theoretical model by
Kanfer, Wanberg and Kantrowitz (2001). Methods. Data were collected among 505 Italian job-centers users via a self-report
questionnaire. Hierarchical linear regressions were used to evaluate associations between variables and identify potential
mediated/moderated effects. Results. Educational level, proactive personality and, above all, job-search self-efficacy
proved to be main predictors of preparatory and active job-search behaviors; mediated and moderated effects were also
found. Conclusions. Results were discussed on the basis of the current literature and provided an original and innovative
contribution to this topic about the Italian situation which was largely unexamined. Moreover, evidence from this study can
guide practitioners to tailor their counseling and re-employment support interventions
Una valutazione del modello Job Demands-Resources su un campione di operatori della salute
No full textIl benessere occupazionale degli operatori della salute è un tema della massima importanza per
l’opinione pubblica, i policy maker, il management ospedaliero nonché gli scienziati sociali. Il modello Job
Demands-Resources (JD-R) è stato applicato con successo su molteplici categorie professionali per valutarne
la qualità della vita lavorativa, e solo recentemente su gruppi di operatori sanitari. L’obiettivo del
presente studio è esplorarne la validità su di un campione di 210 operatori italiani della salute. Le analisi,
condotte mediante regressioni gerarchiche, hanno evidenziato molteplici relazioni significative, molte delle
quali conformi alle evidenze già disponibili su tale modello teorico. L’autonomia lavorativa e l’autoefficacia
occupazionale predicono il work engagement, nonché lo strain (unitamente al carico di lavoro e al
supporto sociale da parte dei colleghi). Inoltre, l’autoefficacia e il supporto sociale da parte del supervisore
agiscono da buffer circa gli effetti negativi delle richieste lavorative su strain e work engagement. Tali risultati
sono stati commentati alla luce della letteratura e al fine di evidenziarne le implicazioni pratiche
The Interactive Effects of Job Resources and Motivations to Volunteer Among a Sample of Italian Volunteers
No full textSnakes and ladders: stressing the role of meta-competencies for post-modern careers
No full textMajor global changes during the last decades have influenced the individual’s work-life and career. As a result of globalisation, increasing societal complexity and flexibility, careers have lost their linearity and predictability. Traditional models of career development no longer provide a comprehensive explanation for an adequate career development. New theoretical concepts such as protean and boundaryless career attitudes are presented as options to cope with the new situation. In addition, the development of career meta-competencies and skills are introduced as an approach to foster career self-management
