중장년 구직자의 사회적지지가 구직행동에 미치는 영향과 폐기학습의 매개효과

초록

The recent economic crisis has been a major cause for low employment in all age groups. It is especially even harder for Korean baby-boomers who retired involuntarily. In order for middle-aged job seekers to find a new job, it is important to disconnect from their previous knowledge or learning habits as well as to seek support from others. In this vein, the purpose of this research is to confirm the impact of social support on job search behavior and to verify the mediating effect of unlearning. For the validation of the study, 336 survey questionnaire from middle-aged job seekers participating in workforce retraining programs, were analyzed. The following are the results of the study: First, based on the analysis of the impact of the social support on the job search and unlearning, emotional and informative support have a positive impact on preparation job search behavior, and emotional and evaluative support have positive impact on unlearning. Second, unlearning has a partial mediating effect between emotional support and job search behavior, and full mediating effect between evaluative support and job search behavior. The result draws implication for the development of educational and support programs for the middle-aged job seekers.
