Abstract
This study attempts to explore the job-seeking behaviour of young Singaporeans, in particular their use of formal or informal job resources, and the role that self-esteem and cultural values play in influencing their job-seeking behaviour. Participants were 899 students from three tertiary level institutions in Singapore. The results showed that self-esteem was not related to the use of informal job sources but there were significant associations between self-esteem and use of formal job sources. Perceived Asian values were found to be a powerful predictor of participants' reliance on informal job sources. The implications of the results are discussed in light of the ongoing economic crisis.
