The challenges of modern life and human nature encourage the need to earn a living and move toward materialism,
in which direction jobs are the most important means of achieving this. Therefore, the purpose of the
present study was to compare the clinical profile (aggression, anxiety, obsession, individual sensitivity, somatic
complaints, psychosis, paranoid imagery, depression,
and fear) and to compare career path profile (behavior,
self-efficacy, belief and adaptability in job seekers and
those waiting for job opportunities. The research method
was causal-comparative. For this purpose, all job seekers
registered in Najaf Abad employment centers in
1397 (2018) were considered as the target community.
Of these 110 people in the center, 52 persons had already
been employed and 58 were job seekers, waiting
for job opportunities. Research tools included Job Path
Adaptation Questionnaire (Savikas & Porfili, 2012), 20
Questions about Job Behavior (Salehi, 2005); 10 Questions
about Job Behavior (Salehi, 2005); Job Beliefs
Test (Salehi, 2005) and SCL-90 (Dargoyess et al., 1973).
Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance
and SPSS-22 software. The results showed that
there was a significant difference between the two dimensions
of career path in behavioral attribute and in the
belief dimension (P <0.05) and there was no significant
difference between self-efficacy, adaptability and job
satisfaction (P <0.05). / 0
