Abstract
The current study examines how the receipt of different types of supportive communication affects the job search. New entrant job seekers (N = 175) reported on their receipt of four types of social support (informational, instrumental, emotional, and companionship support) and their perceptions of job search self-efficacy and job search behavior. Emotional support and companionship support exerted the strongest unique effects on job search self-efficacy, and informational support and emotional support exerted the strongest unique effects on job search behavior. Implications of the findings are discussed.
