Abstract
In this paper on the basis of psychological,sociological and economical models we have extracted factors which can be relevant for explanation of different job search intensity and probability of employment of unemployed persons. Job search and getting employed is a process which consists of series of activities and is basically dependent of a person, his/hers motivation, point of view, coping strategies, qualities, socio-demographic characteristics, social connections and influences, characteristics of job submarket and various other factors. Eventually all this determines results like time needed for getting employed (duration of unemployment) and level of new job satisfaction. Because of the complexity of the subject this research is based on subjective remarks of professional consultants of Croatian institute for employment who estimated importance of factors of employment, marked hypothetical cases through personal factors of employment (PFE) and finally determined level of potential employment for 400 unemployed people in two different social communities; one with low (Zagreb) and one with high (Šibenik) level of unemployment. Employment consultants through factor ranking supported psychological category approach although through concrete marks of unemployed main predictor of getting employed is age.
