Abstract: Previous studies have mainly explored the job search self-efficacy of new job-seekers from the perspective of resource consumption. This research uses social cognitive theory to explore the issue of “how new job-seekers accumulate job search self-efficacy” and its results. Based on 76 new job seekers, data were collected through four months of follow-up. Multi-level structural equation model, MPLUS 7.4 software, was used to analyze the data. Three results are showed as follows: job search crafting this week has a significant positive effect on job search self-efficacy this week; this week's job search self-efficacy has a positive effect on the next week's job search crafting, and this week's job search self-efficacy plays an intermediary role between this week's job search crafting and next week's job search crafting, that is, job search crafting and job search self-efficacy promote each other to form a virtuous cycle effect; the job search selfefficacy this week is significantly positively correlated with employment chances, and this week's job search self-efficacy plays an intermediary role between this week's job search crafting and employment chances. The results of this study expand the understanding of the formation of job search self-efficacy and its virtuous circle effect, and they have practical significance for cultivating the job search self-efficacy of new job-seekers and promoting their job-seeking success.
