大学毕业生在大学到工作（C2W）过渡期间在多大程度上以及在什么条件下脱离就业不相容行为？从生命历程的角度来看，我们提出了一个模型，强调在组织社会化的最初几个月相当稳定的就业不相容行为。我们的模型预测，成熟的这种行为，这是雇主所期望的，有利于职业调整，将更有可能发生一个有利的过渡环境。使用一个大型数据集跟踪毕业生从他们在大学的最后一个学期到毕业后大约1.5年，并使用酒精作为我们的经验参考，我们证明了即使在过渡到全职工作之后，高风险饮酒行为的模式也可能仍然存在。我们进一步表明，较低水平的感知队列饮酒规范和较高水平的指导与更高的成熟概率相关，表现为从毕业前的高风险饮酒特征过渡到开始全职工作后的中度饮酒特征。最后，我们发现，成熟与滞后的结果有关，包括睡眠问题和抑郁水平较低，以及因缺勤而损失的工作日较少，从而强调了C2 W过渡期间行为特征变化的重要性。
To what extent and under what conditions do college graduates disengage from employment‐incompatible behaviors during the college‐to‐work (C2W) transition? Drawing from the life course perspective, we proposed a model highlighting considerable stability of employment‐incompatible behaviors during initial months of organizational socialization. Our model predicted that maturing out of such behaviors, which is expected by employers and beneficial to career adjustment, would be more likely to occur given a conducive transition context. Using a large dataset tracking graduates from their last semester in college to up to approximately 1.5 years after graduation and with alcohol use as our empirical referent, we demonstrated that a pattern of high‐risk drinking behavior may remain even after the transition into full‐time employment. We further showed that lower levels of perceived cohort drinking norms and higher levels of mentoring were associated with a higher probability of maturing out, manifesting in a transition from a high‐risk drinking profile before graduation to a moderate drinking profile after starting full‐time employment. Finally, we found that maturing out was associated with lagged outcomes including lower levels of sleep problems and depression and fewer workdays lost to absenteeism, thus underscoring the consequential nature of behavior profile shifts during the C2W transition.
