Second, we it will propose and test a multi-dimensional measure to assess job seekers’ subjective job search success. Its content validity will be substantiated by both qualitative and quantitative studies; its generalizability will be demonstrated by data collected from job seekers across diverse cultural backgrounds and employment status. Third, it will examine the specific effects of these dimensions on predicting job seekers’ subsequent career outcomes, which will enhance the understanding of how the various aspects of job search success collectively and independently influence career sustainability.
