Given the pressing issues of unemployment during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the underrecognized role of job-search self-regulation (JSSR) in general within career construction theory (CCT), it is socially and theoretically important to expand the career adaption model of job search by examining the role of JSSR in predicting job-search outcomes. However, a psychometrically sound measure of JSSR is lacking. Study 1 used a sample of U.S. unemployed individuals (n = 300) to develop and explore the factor structure of a measure of JSSR. Study 2 tracked a sample of U.S. unemployed individuals (n = 399) to validate the JSSR by examining its structural, concurrent, and predictive validities. Study 2 also examined the mediation of the JSSR subscales in the links from career adaptability to subsequent employment status and job-search progress (JSP). The results supported the psychometric soundness of the newly developed JSSR and demonstrated that JSSR behaviors mediated the positive predictions of career adaptability resources for subsequent employment status and JSP. Therefore, the present study offers a measure of JSSR for future research and practice and highlights JSSR as an important adapting response.

求职自律量表的开发与初步验证：拓展求职的职业适应模型。

鉴于冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 大流行期间失业的紧迫问题以及求职自我调节 (JSSR) 在职业建设理论 (CCT) 中的普遍作用未被充分认识，扩大职业在社会和理论上都很重要通过检查 JSSR 在预测求职结果中的作用来构建求职适应模型。但是，缺乏对 JSSR 进行心理测量的可靠测量。研究 1 使用美国失业个体（n = 300）样本来开发和探索 JSSR 测量的因子结构。研究 2 跟踪了一个美国失业个体样本（n = 399），通过检查其结构、并发和预测有效性来验证 JSSR。研究 2 还检查了 JSSR 分量表在从职业适应性到随后的就业状况和求职进度 (JSP) 的联系中的中介作用。结果支持新开发的 JSSR 的心理测量稳健性，并证明 JSSR 行为介导了职业适应性资源对后续就业状况和 JSP 的积极预测。因此，本研究为未来的研究和实践提供了 JSSR 的衡量标准，并强调 JSSR 是一种重要的适应反应。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。本研究为未来的研究和实践提供了衡量 JSSR 的方法，并强调 JSSR 是一种重要的适应反应。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。本研究为未来的研究和实践提供了衡量 JSSR 的方法，并强调 JSSR 是一种重要的适应反应。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
