This study examined the cross-cultural generalizability of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as applied to job seeking, by comparing samples of native-Dutch and Turkish individuals in The Netherlands. Results supported the equivalence of the measures used. Moreover, the TPB ­relationships were found to be comparable across the two samples. Contrary to the predictions, intentions of Turkish individuals were not affected more by subjective norms and less by job search attitudes then those of native-Dutch individuals. The Netherlands The theory of planned behavior (TPB) is a widely used theoretical framework that details the determinants of human behavior (Ajzen, 1991). Meta-analysis demonstrated its validity in the prediction of a large variety of social behaviors (Armitage & Conner, 2001). Also in the context of job seeking, research has confirmed the validity of the TPB (e.g., Van Ryn & Vinokur, 1992). Studies on the TPB typically use Western samples, and job seeking has been studied almost exclusively from a Western point of view. Therefore the current study focused on the cross­cultural generalizability of the TPB in the context of job seeking. Job seeking is an important aspect of people’s work lives as it determines the opportunity set of potential jobs from which job seekers may choose, and influences employment outcomes
