Study On The Early-warning Of Employment Instability Of College Graduates In Their Early Period Career

For the college students, the early-career stage which can be characterized by theemployment instability has a dominant position in their whole career. In developedcountries, as to the issue of college students’ employment, the focus of research hasalready shifted from the rate of employment to the instability of it, while in China,although the employment instability for college students is looming large, theattention to the issue is far from enough. Therefore, financed by the project of TheEmployment Stability of College Students and the Mechanism for EmploymentPromotion, a National Social Science Fund project, the doctoral thesis titled A Studyon the Determinants and Warning System of the Employment Instability in CollegeStudents’ Early-career Stage is finished.Firstly, the thesis presents a clear definition of the employment stability and theearly-career stage. Secondly, the concept of warning is introduced into themanagement of the employment instability in college students’ early-career stage.Efforts have been done to analyze the employment instability of college studentswho are experiencing the transition from a future graduate to a fresh graduate: onone hand, by investigating the questionnaires of1010fresh graduates in theirearly-career stage from26enterprises in Tianjin, the model of the employmentinstability in college students’ early-career stage is constructed to illustrate how eachvariable influences the employment instability and figure out what on earth shapesthe psychological instability of college students; on the other hand, by enquiring intothe questionnaires of1292future graduates from13universities in Tianjin, it isfound that the high expectation for salary is a key factor leading to the employmentinstability. Thirdly, experts and senior HR officers have been invited to share theirthoughts and on the basis of the current demission warning theory, the instabilitywarning model is constructed and the specific measures are provided. The methodsof FCE and AHP are combined together to evaluate the multi-variable system, makeclear the focus of warning and decide how to convey the warning information.Finally, strategies for the early warning of the employment instability in collegestudents’ early-career stage are put forward both from micro (organizations,universities and individuals) and macro (the government and society) aspects. As to the micro aspects, the post-control strategy is employed and the knowledgecontinuity management is firstly introduced, which offers a new perspective toreduce the instable factors to the minimum.The study has offered a unique perspective to discuss the subject, integratingeconomy, management, psychology, sociology, law and other disciplines andadopting the methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis, field research, etc.Below are the conclusions and innovative achievements:1. On the basis of Employee Turnover Intention Model, the model of collegestudents’ demission in their early-career stage is constructed to illustrate how eachvariable influences the employment instability.2. The research has analyzed how the psychological variable influences thedemission of college students.3. The study has figured out the psychological instability of college students.4. The key factor leading to the employment instability is the high expectationfor salary.5. A warning model of college students’ employment instability is constructedand evaluated systematically.6. The post-control strategy is employed and the knowledge continuitymanagement is firstly introduced in the early warning system, which will reduce theinstable factors in the college students’ early-career stage to the minimum.
