本文的目的是双重的。首先，实证检验了计划偶然性理论（PHT）和计划行为理论（TPB）两种基于理论的求职者求职模型。其次，测试了这些模式在日本和韩国的跨文化兼容性。本文以日本（175）和韩国（172）的大学生为样本，对两种基于理论的求职模型——PHT模型和TPB模型进行了测试。结果表明，与PHT模型相比，TPB模型对数据的拟合效果更好。此外，对TPB模型的多组检验表明，TPB模型在日本和韩国样本之间是不变的。原创性/价值虽然在求职文献中，计划行为在求职过程中的重要性一直是一个重要的问题，但与PHT模型相比，本研究为TPB求职模型提供了实证支持。另一个贡献是，该研究使用来自日本和韩国的亚洲样本测试了西方驱动的理论，为进一步研究试图测试TPB模型的普遍性，特别是在采用不同就业制度的国家/地区，构成了一个重要的基准。
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it empirically examines two theory-based models of applicants’ job search developed from planned happenstance theory (PHT) and theory of planned behavior (TPB). Second, it tests the cross-cultural compatibility of these models in Japan and Korea.Design/methodology/approachThe authors tested two theory-based job search models, PHT model and TPB model based on samples of college students from Japan (n=175) and Korea (n=172).FindingsThe results indicated that the TPB model was a significantly better fitting to the data than the PHT model. Moreover, a multi-group test of the TPB model demonstrated that the TPB model was invariant between the Japanese and the Korean samples.Originality/valueAlthough there had been an important question among job search literatures regarding how important the planned behavior in the job search processes would be, the study gave an empirical support to the TPB job search model in contrast to the PHT model. Another contribution is that the study tested the Western-driven theories using Asian samples from Japan and Korea, constituting an important benchmark for further studies that attempt to test the generalizability of the TPB model, particularly in countries/areas that employ different employment systems.
