Overview

Two-wave survey reveals that perceived overqualification impairs job satisfaction in new labor market entrants, suggesting internal promotions buffer surplus credentials.

Key Points

  • Perceived overqualification fully mediated the link between objective overqualification and lower job satisfaction across 382 market entrants.
  • Two-wave survey evaluation using a moderated mediation model showed internal employment opportunities buffer perceived overqualification.
  • Highlights personnel management strategies under relative deprivation theory, showing internal mobility mitigates scarce external opportunities.
