The Influence of College Students’ Employment Initiative on Employment Quality

Abstract

As the number of fresh graduates in China is increasing year by year, the employment problem of college students is becoming more and more serious. How to solve the problem of college students' employment has always been a topic of high concern from all walks of life, and how to improve the phenomenon of college graduates' employment has become the focus of scholars' research. This study learned about the current status of employment initiative and employment quality of 1,254 college graduates based on the 2019 questionnaire records, and explored whether employment initiative can affect employment quality. It is found that there are significant differences in the level of learning initiative of college graduates in terms of gender, educational background, political outlook, parents’ educational level, mother’s technical title, family economic level and family social status. Learning initiative and practical initiative have a positive impact on employment quality, and the impact of practical initiative on employment quality is more significant than the impact of learning initiative on employment quality.
