We hypothesized that individuals' proactive personality would moderate the relationships among job search self-efficacy, job search clarity, and job search activities. However, for those with a strong proactive personality, active job search activity was predicted to be positively related to job search self-efficacy and clarity. Participants were 400 undergraduates randomly selected from various main cities in China. We conducted hierarchical regression analyses and found support for our hypotheses. Implications of these results are discussed and suggestions for job searching practice presented.
