Based on the life history perspective, this study tested a serial mediation model in which family socioeconomic status (SES) related to person–job fit via resource scarcity, career exploration, and goal persistence. We expected that when seeking employment, higher SES students would perceive lower resource scarcity, and, in turn, adopt more adaptive career behaviors (i.e., career exploration and goal persistence) to maximize career success, which would then lead to better person–job fit upon graduation. Using a sample of 224 final-year students (mean age 21 years, 77% male), we found, as expected, that higher SES was related to more career exploration and goal persistence via lower perceived scarcity and that exploration and persistence were related to better person–job fit. In addition, higher SES was indirectly related to person–job fit via scarcity and the two career behaviors. The findings highlight the importance of family SES in young people’s career development.

家庭社会经济地位与职业结果之间的关系：生活史视角

本研究基于生活史的视角，测试了一个系列中介模型，其中家庭社会经济地位 (SES) 通过资源稀缺、职业探索和目标坚持与人与工作的契合度相关联。我们预计，在求职时，社会经济地位较高的学生会感知到较低的资源稀缺性，进而采取更具适应性的职业行为（即职业探索和目标坚持）来最大限度地实现职业成功，从而导致更好的人与工作匹配毕业后。使用 224 名毕业班学生（平均年龄 21 岁，77% 为男性）的样本，我们发现，正如预期的那样，较高的 SES 与更多的职业探索和目标坚持相关，通过较低的感知稀缺性，探索和坚持与更好的人与工作匹配。此外，通过稀缺性和两种职业行为，较高的 SES 与人与工作的匹配度间接相关。调查结果强调了家庭社会经济地位在年轻人职业发展中的重要性。
