Job Searching

This study aimed to understand the role of regulatory focus for influencing self-directed learning activities during a job search. The authors surveyed 185 job-searching university students at two time points to explore the conditions under which regulatory focus (promotion and prevention foci) impacts self-directed learning activities and the number of employment interviews secured. Both promotion and prevention foci showed significant relationships with self-directed learning activities and number of interviews, and positive and negative affect partially mediated these relationships. The relationships between both regulatory focus strategies and self-directed learning were also contingent on self-efficacy. More specifically, prevention focus and self-directed learning showed a positive relationship for job seekers with high levels of self-efficacy but a negative one for job seekers with low levels of self-efficacy. This research extends the understanding of the role of regulatory focus in the context of self-directed learning during a job search. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Working Situation

Emerging research focuses on the role of time in the context of mobility and explores the conditions of ‘wait’ and ‘stuckness’ as conceptual tools for understanding the tempos and socio-cultural implications of mobile experiences. This paper contributes to this research by exploring these conditions in the context of work and geographical mobility, with a special focus on people who migrate and follow their working partners in international professional migration and temporarily live in Switzerland. The increasingly mobile and changing conditions of some professional sectors have made transnational career trajectories imaginable also for many partners. Yet, at times, their working life is not easily reconstituted on the occasion of the move, and the timing for job-search and unemployment can extend indefinitely. I will discuss how mobile professionals’ partners, by transiting from a working situation to another one that is not yet in place, experience a condition of stuckness between identities, phases of life and destinations of migration. I will ask how the subjective experience of stuckness can trigger and at times block a person’s capacity to imagine work under conditions of geographical mobility.

Rule Making

Throughout its one hundred years of existence, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has taken a dynamic approach to the implementation of its mandate to achieve social justice through the adoption of international labor standards. This approach is exemplified in three ILO declarations: the Declaration concerning the aims and purposes of the International Labour Organization, 1944 (Declaration of Philadelphia); the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998 (the 1998 Declaration) and the Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, 2008 (the 2008 Declaration). These declarations contain expressions of renewed commitment by the ILO's tripartite membership toward the universal relevance of the Organization's constitutional mandate and its means of action (standards, development cooperation, and research), and by the ILO to support its members. These declarations have in addition adapted the vision of the ILO mission to contemporary circumstances for a better impact. As noted by Professors Alvarez and Burci, the ILO is a good example of a long-standing international public organization reinventing itself with very few amendments to its founding charter.
