The present study aimed to explore the relationship between job-search self-efficacy and reemployment willingness among older adults, as well as roles of achievement motivation and age in this relationship.
Three hundred and sixty-five Chinese retired older adults were recruited from five neighborhoods in a city via convenience sampling, and they were measured by the Job Search Self-Efficacy Scale and the Achievement Motivation Scale (AMS).
Results revealed that job-search self-efficacy significantly positively predicted reemployment willingness. Achievement motivation played a partial mediating role in the relationship between the job-search self-efficacy and reemployment willingness. Age moderated the relationship between job-search self-efficacy and reemployment willingness.
These findings showed that increasing the job-search self-efficacy and achievement motivation could effectively promote older adults' reemployment willingness. The present study provided a theoretical basis for caring for older adults' reemployment willingness.
本研究旨在探讨中老年求职者求职自我效能感与再就业意愿之间的关系，以及成就动机和年龄在这种关系中的作用。
采用方便抽样法，从某城市的五个社区招募了 365 名中国退休中老年，使用求职自我效能感量表和成就动机量表（AMS）对其进行测量。
结果表明，求职自我效能感显著正向预测再就业意愿。成就动机在求职自我效能感与再就业意愿之间起部分中介作用。年龄调节了求职自我效能感与再就业意愿之间的关系。
这些发现表明，提高求职自我效能感和成就动机可以有效促进中老年求职者的再就业意愿。本研究为关注中老年求职者再就业意愿提供了理论依据。
