These comments on the Schaufeli and Van Ypersen (1993) article on success and failure in the labor market consider the generalizability of their results across different samples and cultures. They also consider the need to move beyond empirical studies that are primarily concerned with identifying predictor variables to theory‐drive studies that tie research on unemployment into existing or new theoretical frameworks, thereby providing order and meaning to the findings from unemployment research.
