组织嵌入性与求职以高校毕业生就业为例

新经济社会学自格兰诺维特的开创性研究以来已经取得了巨大的进步。很多实证研究关注了劳动力市场上的工作找寻行为。然而，这些研究的分析单位通常放在个体之间的强关系或弱关系这样的联系上。布莱顿和卡瑞亚的研究扩展了已有的分析框架，提出了组织嵌入性的求职方式。使用这种求职方式的人通常隶属于某个组织或机构，而该组织或机构同用人单位具有某种联系。我们把组织嵌入性应用于中国高校毕业生的求职上，研究了不同的招工渠道对工作的影响，主要分析了组织嵌入性求职方式与受教育水平、高校声誉和学生表现，以及毕业生的起薪等因素之间的关系。

Institutional Embeddedness and Getting a Job: The Employment of College Graduates

New Economic Sociology has made great progress since Mark Granovetter’s seminal work. Many empirical studies focus on labor market and job searching activities. However， up to now， the unit of analysis in most of those studies was the relationship between individuals， such as strong ties or weak ties. Brinton and Kariya’s research has extended the existing framework for analysis and suggested job searching through institutional embeddedness. A job searcher using this method usually belongs to an organization or institute that has a tie with an employer. Applying institutional embeddedness to the job searching of the college graduates in China， we studied the impact of different recruitment channels on getting a job. The major focus of our analysis was on the relationships between job searching through institutional embeddedness and such variables as educational levels， reputation of the college or university， students’ performance， and the starting salaries of college graduates.
