Getting a job via career oriented social networking markets. Technology acceptance literature on social networking markets. The big blue social networking companies such as Facebook, Linked. In, or XING are integrating more and more career oriented functionalities in their applications e. Smith and Kidder 2. Caers and Castelyns 2. Madia 2. 01. 1 van Dijck 2.

In addition, companies are integrating social network features and sites into the internal HR processes, e. Raeth and Smolnik 2. Sugianto and Tojib 2. Urbach et al. 2. 01. Sugianto and Tojib 2.

Teigland et al. 2. Cao et al. 2. 01. The interest in understanding the benefits and the acceptance factors of these career oriented social networking sites and markets is consequently high. Research on technology acceptance in the online social network and consumer context has been dominated by the Theory of Reasoned Action TRA, Theory of Planned Behavior TPB, Technology Acceptance Model TAM, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology UTAUT, IS Continuance Model CM, Multi Attribute Utility Theory MAUT Buettner 2. The most prominent models used for SNS analysis were TAM, and UTAUT2 e. Oechslein et al. 2. Venkateshs et al. UTAUT2 model is the most widely accepted theory within the consumer domain and it extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology UTAUT to study acceptance and use of technology in a consumer context Venkatesh et al. Pastor Chris Sermons For. Since the UTAUT2 model aims to study the behavior of end users consumers in contrast to business users, which were primary covered by UTAUT and TAM, UTAUT2 is the theoretical base used in this work. On the economic value of social ties. Scholars from different disciplines coherently argue that in principle social ties are fruitful on an individual and an organizational level. For instance, from a value calculation point of view it is argued that the value of a CSNM is primarily based on its membership figures cf. Metcalfes law, Reeds law, Sarnoffs law, Zipfs law.

These scholars argue for an increased social network value with every additional contact Briscoe et al. In addition, positive relations of social network metrics such as membership figures and firm equity values were found Luo et al. On an individual level and most related to career success in terms of getting job offers, Granovetter 1. An increased number of contacts as the most common network centrality measure Shaw 1. Freeman 1. 97. 7, 1. Borgatti and Everett 2. Confirming this speculation, prior research on offline career oriented networks found positive relationships between network centrality and career success Seibert et al. Mehra et al. 2. 00. Baldwin et al. 1. Sparrowe et al. 2. In addition, scholars argued that SNS make a larger contact pool available to their members and allow them to easily manage and maintain virtually unlimited numbers of contacts by granting access to the long tail of social networking an additional pool of contacts that is inaccessible via traditional networking Enders et al. Furthermore, prior research found evidence that the number of recruiters contacts implies greater success in recruiting Gandal et al. However, professional recruiters seem to distrust the number of contacts of an applicant as a sort of noisy information Zanella and Pais 2. Wanberg et al. 2. Based on the theoretically argued importance of the number of contacts on an individual and an organizational level in relation to the opposite findings of practitioners, it is very interesting to study its role in more detail. Such a study on the role of the number of contacts in career oriented social network markets is of very practical relevance since the incorporation of CSNM is a very promising development in electronic human resource management Buettner and Landes 2. Buettner 2. 01. 4, 2. Envisioned thirty years ago by Macdonald 1. CSNM has actually emerged as an important application channel Keim 2. Zhang and Ackerman 2. Caers and Castelyns 2. Nowadays scholars and practitioners coherently argue the increased importance of CSNM for a job search Doherty 2. Madia 2. 01. 1 Zhou et al. Kuhn and Mansour 2. For instance, Kuhn and Mansour 2. The subsequently extended research model is shown in Fig. Next, an explanation will follow as to how the hypotheses were derived from theory. Antecedents of the intention to use social networking sites for a job search. Plummer and Hiltz 2. Plummer et al. 2. Behavioral Intention concerning a job search via SNS. They found substantial effects of Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy on Behavioral Intention. These influences were also theorized by Davis 1. Venkatesh et al. 2. Venkatesh et al. 2. TAM and UTAUT2. That is why I hypothesize H1 Performance Expectancy will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. H2 Effort Expectancy will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. Tan et al. 2. 01. SNSs affect job choice intention and found a moderate peer group influence. This kind of Social Influence was also conceptualized by Venkatesh et al. I hypothesize H3 Social Influence will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. New institutional economics theorized that sufficient resources and knowledge about systems, processes and market functions are critical components for the success of both the individual and the whole economy Alchian 1. Alchian and Demsetz 1. Stigler 1. 96. 1. That applies in particular to a job search Mc. Call 1. 97. 0 Spence 1. Venkatesh et al. 2. Behavioral Intention. Thus I hypothesize H4 Facilitating Conditions will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. Brecht and Eckhardt 2. SNSs predominantly for entertainment purposes. Since general technology acceptance research also largely theorized the importance of Hedonic Motivation in terms of using IS van der Heijden 2. Hassenzahl 2. 00. Venkatesh et al. 2. I consequently hypothesize H5 Hedonic Motivation will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. Venkatesh et al. 2. Consumers usually bear the monetary cost of such use Dodds et al. Following Venkatesh et al. I define Price Value as consumers cognitive tradeoff between the perceived benefits of the applications and the monetary cost for using them p. H6 Price Value will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. IS scholars e. g., Kim et al. Limayem et al. 2. Ouellette and Wood 1. Habit on Behavioral Intention. La. Rose and Eastin 2. Habit was also theorized as important for social media usage intention Hutto and Bell 2. Nikou and Bouwman 2. I consequently theorize H7 Habit will be positively associated with Behavioral Intention. Antecedents of job offer success. IS acceptance research e. Davis 1. 98. 9 Venkatesh et al. Behavioral Intention and Usage Intensity. That is why I hypothesize H8 Behavioral Intention will be positively associated with Usage Intensity. Saks 2. 00. 6 found that the intensity of a job search is a predictor of job offers. Also the meta analysis by Kanfer et al. Against this background I hypothesize H9 Behavioral Intention will be positively associated with Job Offer Success. H1. 0 Usage Intensity will be positively associated with Job Offer Success. Research on the impact of Usage Intensity on forming social ties has generated conflicting results Zhao 2.
