The general purpose of this study was to investigate the use of social networks in the transition from school to the world of work, its consequences for the initial employment achievement of job seekers, and subsequent occupational attainment in Taiwan. It was designed to replicate and extend Granovetter's (1974) strength of weak tie study and Lin and his associates' (1981) social resource study.

520 $a The general purpose of this study was to investigate the use of social networks in the transition from school to the world of work, its consequences for the initial employment achievement of job seekers, and subsequent occupational attainment in Taiwan. It was designed to replicate and extend Granovetter's (1974) strength of weak tie study and Lin and his associates' (1981) social resource study.
520 $a For this research, data came from an island-wide survey of social change (SSC III) sponsored by the National Science Council in Taiwan, and the analysis of my study was based on the information ascertained from 2695 adults in 1997. Since the second part of my study focused only on those who used personal contact as an informal channel to find jobs, a subdata set was selected to answer specific questions relating to the role of social networks in an individual's employment achievement.
520 $a Broadly speaking, my findings provided credence to Granovetter (1974) and Lin et al's (1981) challenges to the functionalist view of stratification: instead of human capital as the primary determinant of career success, an individual's success is also highly related to “whom you know.” However, the most important direct factor affecting the choice of social contact is the job seeker's educational attainment, while social capital is an intervening explanatory variable between human capital and occupational attainment.
520 $a Since the analysis in the second half of my study involved only job seekers used personal contacts in searching first and current jobs, my path model is not an extension of Blau-Duncan's (1967) basic attainment model. However, using it as a benchmark, I found that the total effect of my path model, including those two social resource variables, did increase the variance explained of current occupational achievement by 2%. This means 58% of occupational attainment variability was “explained” by the relationship with all the independent variables. The results increased my confidence regarding the contributions of those two social resource variables (strength of tie and status of contact person) to the status attainment process in Taiwan.
