摘要

在影响未来就业前景的范围内,对就业历史的认识是重要的。至关重要的是,鉴于当前的大流行,许多个人可能会出现意想不到的就业缺口和/或临时工作经历,这项探索性研究旨在更好地理解与临时就业历史相关的信号,这与个人的就业轨迹和劳动力市场的成功复苏尤其密切相关。设计/方法/方法主要利用信号理论和模拟招聘决策实验,作者研究了对临时就业历史的看法,以及COVID-19(一个主要的外生事件)对具有标准、临时和失业历史的虚拟求职者态度的时期影响。研究结果作者发现,在2019冠状病毒病之前,与从事长期工作的申请人相比,失业和临时工作的求职者被认为不太受欢迎。在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,对有临时工作经历的求职者的评估不那么重要了,之前与跳槽相关的负面信号得到了逆转。本研究在新冠肺炎疫情后收集的第三波数据显示,除了那些曾在不同雇主做过临时工的人之外,这种看法在很大程度上消失了。实践启示:本文提醒人们要尽可能地检查临时工作经历的先入为主的偏见,以避免潜在的归因错误,并错过其他有能力的候选人。独创性/价值本文通过关注和研究以COVID-19大流行为中心的经济气候对临时就业历史看法的不同影响,做出了独特而及时的贡献。

Inside out and upside down? Perceptions of temporary employment histories in the time of COVID
PurposePerceptions of employment histories are important insofar as they influence future job prospects. Critically, in light of the current pandemic, wherein many individuals are likely to have unanticipated employment gaps and/or temporary work experiences, this exploratory study aims to seek a better understanding of the signal associated with temporary employment histories, which is particularly germane to individuals' employment trajectories and a successful labour market recovery.Design/methodology/approachDrawing primarily on signalling theory and using a simulated hiring decision experiment, the authors examined the perceptions of temporary employment histories, as well as the period effect of COVID-19, a major exogenous event, on the attitudes of fictitious jobseekers with standard, temporary and unemployment histories.FindingsThe authors find that prior to COVID-19 unemployed and temporary-work candidates were perceived less favourably as compared to applicants employed in a permanent job. During the COVID-19 pandemic, assessments of jobseekers with temporary employment histories were less critical and the previously negative signal associated with job-hopping reversed. This study’s third wave of data, which were collected post-COVID, showed that such perceptions largely dissipated, with the exception for those with a history of temporary work with different employers.Practical implicationsThe paper serves as a reminder to check, insofar as possible, preconceived biases of temporary employment histories to avoid potential attribution errors and miss otherwise capable candidates.Originality/valueThis paper makes a unique and timely contribution by focussing and examining the differential effect of economic climate, pivoted by the COVID-19 pandemic, on perceptions of temporary employment histories.

期刊介绍: Personnel Review (PR) publishes rigorous, well written articles from a range of theoretical and methodological traditions. We value articles that have high originality and that engage with contemporary challenges to human resource management theory, policy and practice development. Research that highlights innovation and emerging issues in the field, and the medium- to long-term impact of HRM policy and practice, is especially welcome.
