Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and job-seeking anxiety and to verify the mediating effect of social comparison tendency. Methods The study included 303 flight attendant job applicants who were asked to complete a survey on self-concept clarity, intolerance of uncertainty, social comparison tendency, and job-seeking anxiety from January 1 to March 31, 2022, for a total of three months, and 303 of them were used for statistical analysis, excluding unreliable responses. Results The results showed that intolerance of uncertainty and social comparison tendency were positively correlated with job-seeking anxiety. Additionally, social comparison tendency was found to have mediating effects on the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and job-seeking anxiety. Conclusions The results suggest the need for further investigation of the important role of social comparison tendency related to uncertainty tolerance and career anxiety of flight attendant job applicants. Based on the findings of this study, the researchers discussed ways to improve career education and counseling for flight attendant job applicants who experience emotional difficulties in their preparation. Other implications and limitations of this study are discussed, along with suggestions for future studies.
