The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of self-efficacy, social support, and career identity on job-seeking stress of the unemployed. Most people prefer to find their own occupations; however, job-seeking is difficult over the generations in the contemporary era. The mass of preceding studies were not focused on varied age but rather on graduates instead. This study was about the relationship between the multi-generational job-seeking stress among self-efficacy, social support, and career identity of unemployed. Moreover, to examine how individuals suffered differently from job-seeking stress according to gender, marital status, and experienced or unexperienced job respectively. For this purpose, one hundred ninety seven respondents of survey were participated in answering a questionnaire which consisted of one hundred questions in Busan, Republic of Korea. The acquired data was analyzed through the multiple regression analysis using the statistical analysis program SPSS version 22. The conclusions of this analysis revealed that job-seeking stress was positively correlated with self-efficacy, and career identity. Whereas the p-value of social support (p=.092) was larger than the common level of .05. Consequently, the element of social support was not significant in job-seeking stress relevance in this research. For calculating, however, the ranking of the factors -self-efficacy, social support, and career identity- attributively analyzed the data of social support. The result indicated that self-efficacy was the most significant element (B=.381, p=.003) of the job seeking stress of all respondents (n=197) than other elements. This study investigated that the male group and the single group were influenced by job-seeking stress in order of self-efficacy, social support, and career identity. The female group, the married group, and the experienced career group were influenced by job-seeking stress in order of self-efficacy, career identity, and social support. Lastly, the unexperienced job group was influenced by stress in order of social support, career identity, and self-efficacy. This study will provide significant support to make the consultation programs which contain self-efficacy and career identity elements of the unemployment since those elements effect the job-seeking stress. Further studies are needed to find out the other elements of the job seeking stress.
