عوامل پیش‌بینی کننده‌ موفقیت در استخدام مجدد افرادی که به‌تازگی بیکار شده‌اند: یک مطالعه گروهی آینده‌نگر

• We examine the predictive value of personal and situational factors on re-employment success.• Ten key-factors of re-employment success in the first year after becoming unemployed were found.• These key-predictors can be used to identify those most at risk of becoming long-term unemployed.• Intervening on the factors which are amenable to change will increase re-employment success.The aim of the present study was to examine which personal and situational factors affect reemployment success in persons in their first year of unemployment. In a prospective cohort study with a one-year follow-up, we investigated a sample of 3618 subjects who became unemployed. A survey was sent to all participants, including personal and situational factors, based on Wanberg's model, the Theory of Planned Behavior model and the Valence–Instrumentality–Expectancy model. Our results showed that ten key-factors predicted re-employment success in the first year after becoming unemployed. Knowing these factors, and in particular those which are amenable to change through any intervention program, may help to develop effective intervention strategies for those who facilitate reemployment in order to shorten the duration of unemployment.
