A recent study investigated the relationship between future orientation and self-rated employability among Chinese higher vocational college students, specifically examining the mediating role of career decision-making self-efficacy. It also explored how perceived career-related teacher support influences this relationship. The research found that career decision-making self-efficacy mediates the association between future orientation and self-rated employability, and this mediation is moderated by teacher support.
Why it matters
Understanding the factors influencing student employability is crucial for educational institutions and workforce development. This research provides insights into how psychological traits and educational support systems can be leveraged to enhance students' perceptions of their own career readiness, which is a key indicator of future workforce potential and economic contribution.
Key insights
- Future orientation is associated with self-rated employability among higher vocational college students.
- Career decision-making self-efficacy mediates the link between future orientation and self-rated employability.
- Perceived career-related teacher support moderates the pathway from future orientation to self-efficacy.
- The study employed a three-wave, time-lagged survey design, collecting data from 824 students across three colleges in Guangdong Province, China.
