Abstract:
Objective To get aquainted with college undergraduates’ job-hunting self-efficacy. Methods By adopting a self-made job-hunting self-efficacy scale based on factor analysis, and taking junior and senior undergraduates in China University of Mining and Technology as the research subjects, an analysis is made about their job-hunting self-efficacy through SPSS. Conclusions The self-made job-hunting self-efficacy scale gives a rather good performance in respect of credibility and reliablility; the scale consists of five dimentions: the college’s prestige and status, the labor market, job information and employability skills, academic performance and self-evaluation of one’s own personality. A significant difference is observed between the senior undergraduates and their junior peers with the former having an apparently higher self-efficacy in job-hunting; students majoring in accountancy are better than those majoring in business administration in the same regard; while there exists no noticeable difference in regards of gender, the student’s birthplace, or being an only child or not; yet still a tendency is detected that boy students have a better self-efficacy than girls, urban students better than rural counterparts, non-only-child students better than those only-child peers.
