dc.description.abstractSearching for employment is a taxing experience for working age adults, as unemployment denies individuals access to financial resources, social connections, and a sense of workplace identity (Moorhouse & Caltabiano, 2007). Thus, it is valuable to examine how resilience is accomplished during the job search process. Utilizing Self-regulation theory, the current study investigated a model of resilience during the job search process that tested behavioral and psychological resilience as separate constructs to fully demonstrate how resilience manifests within this context. Utilizing experience sampling methodology over 4 weeks, findings showed that coping predicts behavioral and psychological resilience and behavioral and psychological resilience predict well-being and performance over time. Specifically, cross-lagged analyses revealed that active coping at Week 1 predicted behavioral resilience at Week 2 and avoidance coping at Week 1 predicted psychological resilience at Week 2. Similar results were also observed in the relationship between resilience and the outcomes of well-being and job search performance. Additional, exploratory analyses revealed that behavioral resilience and psychological resilience predict each other across various time points, suggesting that one’s ability to be behaviorally (or psychologically) resilient impacts their ability to be psychologically (or behaviorally) resilient at a later time. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.en_US
