Chirkowska-Smolak, Teresa2016-11-282016-11-281997Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny, 59, 1997, z. 3, s. 151-163.0035-9629http://hdl.handle.net/10593/15874The article presents a model explaining the behaviour of those who are looking for job - as based on expectancy-value theory. Efficiency of looking for a job is a function of motivation to do so and, as well, depends on individual skills. Such an activity is being operated under definite conditions of social and economic milieu. The assumptions discussed lie in the grounds of psychological assistance programmes (now in elaboration) for individuals who are experiencing a passage between lack of a job and some more stable employment. Psychological intervention among unemployed people is aimed at giving them support in their search for a job and at preventing negative emotional states which can throw a person into transition.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
