In that regard, Hypothesized Model-1 (with overall social support) and Hypothesized Model-2 (with social support from friends, social support from family, social support from significant others) were tested. An online survey provided quantitative data from 305 NEET participants. The demographic form, Flourishing Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Employment Hope Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Work Involvement Scale, Attribution of Unemployment Scale and Job Search Motivation Scale were used as data collection instruments. Path analyses results indicated a direct significant relationship between self-esteem, employment hope, social support from family and psychological wellbeing. In addition, self-esteem, self-efficacy, work involvement, overall social support, job search motivation were indirectly related to psychological wellbeing among NEETs. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between attributions of unemployment, social support from family and significant others, and psychological wellbeing.
