Although Facebook is regarded as a common social network to connect everyone, it has not yet attracted much attention from researchers from the perspective of job searching. Based on the theories of job searching via social media networks, self-efficacy and social exchange, this study is conducted to investigate the impacts of social media self-efficacy and peer influence on perceiving Facebook as a job searching tool and maintaining a career-oriented online image by the youth in Vietnam. The empirical data collected from 317 respondents were examined using Covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) followed by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The results show that social media self-efficacy and peer groups on Facebook motivate users’ perception of Facebook as a job searching tool. In addition, this perception positively impacts the building and maintaining a career-oriented online image. Job seekers can use Facebook as a source of job search information, while organizations can use Facebook to review and recruit potential candidates.

Chociaż Facebook jest uważany za wspólną sieć społecznościową, która łączy wszystkich, nie przyciągnął jeszcze większej uwagi badaczy z perspektywy poszukiwania pracy. W oparciu o teorie poszukiwania pracy za pośrednictwem sieci społecznościowych, poczucia własnej skuteczności i wymiany społecznej, badanie to ma na celu zbadanie wpływu poczucia własnej skuteczności w mediach społecznościowych i wpływu rówieśników na postrzeganie Facebooka jako narzędzia poszukiwania pracy i utrzymywanie zorientowanej na karierę wizerunek online młodzieży w Wietnamie. Dane empiryczne zebrane od 317 respondentów zostały zbadane przy użyciu modelowania równań strukturalnych opartego na kowariancji (CB-SEM), a następnie analizy czynników potwierdzających (CFA). Wyniki pokazują, że poczucie własnej skuteczności w mediach społecznościowych i grupy rówieśnicze na Facebooku motywują postrzeganie Facebooka jako narzędzia poszukiwania pracy przez użytkowników. Ponadto takie postrzeganie pozytywnie wpływa na budowanie i utrzymywanie wizerunku zorientowanego na karierę w sieci. Osoby poszukujące pracy mogą używać Facebooka jako źródła informacji o poszukiwaniu pracy, podczas gdy organizacje mogą używać Facebooka do sprawdzania i rekrutowania potencjalnych kandydatów.
