隨著網路發展與全球化競爭愈之日趨激烈，資訊的質與量不僅較過去豐富與多樣，資訊的取得也變得愈來愈容易、及時與快速，因此導致尋職者亦進入了白熱化的競爭時代。對初入職場的社會新鮮人而言，尋找優質的第一份工作將是更面對較前為嚴苛的考驗。本研究目的在於了解大專院校應屆畢業生的尋職行為，影響他們尋職努力程度的因素。本研究在尋職行為的探討上，主要是從「尋職訊息管道之使用」與「尋職密集度」兩構面來觀察；而對於造成行為差異的因素，則是從三個重要，但目前國內尚未有涉獵的「個人特質」－自尊感、求職自我效能及前瞻性人格特質等深入探討；此外，近來國外對「求職清晰度」做為個人特質與行為中介角色已獲得證實，但台灣沒有此類研究，故本研究以台灣應屆畢業碩士學生為研究對象，冀能從求職清晰度為中介因子的模式下，了解個人特質對尋職行為的影響。本研究結果發現，個人特質的差異對尋職訊息管道之使用，即正式訊息管道與非正式訊息管道之選擇，並無顯著影響；而各項個人特性對尋職密集度之影響方面，僅在「求職自我效能」上獲得驗證，其它特質不是顯著影響的因素；最後，本研究檢驗「求職清晰度」是否為中介因子，其結果是三項個人特質皆能透過求職清晰度對尋職密集度產生影響。

With the rapid changes in Internet development and global competition, information is becoming more and more abundant and diverse. Information access is getting easier, prompt and faster, which also makes the access to labor market information more competitive. To new graduates, the access to labor market information becomes one of the most important determinants for the success of locating their first job. The purpose of this study was to examine the job search behavior (the use of information sources and job search intensity) of recent college graduates as well as factors affecting their job search behavior. This is because although it is a well known fact that self-esteem, job search self-efficacy and proactive personality are the three key determinants of job search success, however these relationships have not been examinated by scholars in Taiwan. In this study a new factor, i.e., a mediating factor (job search clarity) has been added for the purpose of examining the relationships between each of these factors. The results of our research show that all three personalities could not predict which labor market channels students will utilize in their job search activities (the formal information source or the informal information source). Among the three personalities mentioned above, we found only job search self-efficacy is able to predict directly job search intensity of a student. Moreover, our research result also confirm our hypothesis that job search clarity is a mediating factor between self-esteem and job search intensity, job search self-efficacy and job search intensity, and proactive personality and job search intensity. Policy implications of these findings have been discussed in the last section of this thesis.
