Structure of Undergraduate's Employability: Exploring and Measurement

Abstract:

Based on the literature review and baseline survey, this study was carried out to explore the structure of undergraduates employability under the background of China. 612 students as the subjects were predicted, the items were formed through exploratory factor analysis. The results indicated that undergraduates employability comprised two longitudinal dimensionalities: job-attain and job-maintain; and the horizontal dimension were two stage structure with 3 second-order factors and 7 one-order factors. Then 412 students were investigated to test the validity and reliability of the undergraduates employability cognition scale. The scale was found to have a good internal reliability coefficient (a=.928) and Spearman-Brown coefficient (r=.852) of job-attain dimension, the job-maintain dimension were .927 and .845 respectively.
