This article evaluated the use of motivational interviewing (MI) to increase employment. In Study 1, 910 unemployed participants were randomly assigned to either the control (standard employment program) or the experimental condition. Experimental participants who were not ready to seek employment (assessed by the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale) received MI plus the standard employment program. Study 2 evaluated this approach within the entire Opportunities for Employment population (N = 992). Compared with the control participants, participants in the experimental condition in Study 1 and participants in Study 2 increased motivation for employment, employment program participation, and employment and employment retention.

激励面试以促进就业

本文评估了动机面试（MI）的使用以增加就业。在研究1中，将910名失业参与者随机分配到对照组（标准就业计划）或实验条件下。尚未准备就业的实验参与者（由罗德岛大学变更评估量表评估）获得了MI和标准的就业计划。研究2在整个就业人口机会中评估了这种方法（N = 992）。与对照组相比，研究1的实验条件参与者和研究2的参与者增加了就业动机，就业计划参与以及就业和就业保留。
