We examined the relationship between calling, job‐search clarity, and job‐search intensity in a cross‐sectional study of Italian unemployed job seekers (N = 315). Structural equation modeling with observed variables and latent moderated structural equation models were adopted to test whether optimism, self‐esteem, and perseverance moderate the relation between calling, job‐search clarity, and job‐search intensity. Perceiving a calling was positively related with job‐search clarity and intensity, and these relations were stronger in individuals with lower levels of optimism, self‐esteem, and perseverance. This study suggests that perceiving a calling is an important personal resource that is related to a clearer job‐search goal and to more intense job‐search activities and can support job seekers in personal adverse conditions. These results suggest integrating job‐search behaviors in the work‐as‐calling theory and that incorporating the construct of calling into career counselors' practices may increase the efficacy of job‐search activities.

失业者的职业求职和求职行为的主持人

我们检查了电话，寻找工作的透明度，和求职强度之间在意大利的失业求职者的横断面研究（关系ñ= 315）。采用具有观测变量的结构方程模型和潜在的适度结构方程模型来检验乐观，自尊和毅力是否会缓和呼唤，求职清晰度和求职强度之间的关系。感知呼叫与求职的清晰性和强度呈正相关，而在乐观度，自尊心和毅力较低的人中，这些关系更强。这项研究表明，感知呼叫是一种重要的个人资源，它与更清晰的求职目标和更密集的求职活动有关，并且可以在个人不利条件下为求职者提供支持。这些结果表明，在求职理论中整合了求职行为，并将求职者的构想纳入了职业顾问的视野。
