- Abstract
This study explored the factors affecting the employability of college students and compared the difference on the mediator effects of job intension and extracurricular activities between normal colleges and non-normal colleges. Collecting with 3317 students in 5 representative Chinese universities, we find that, 1) Job intension, extracurricular activities and employment services have significant influence on the employability of undergraduates; 2) Job intension and extracurricular activities significantly mediate the relationships between undergraduates’ employability and its influencing factors; 3) The mediator effects mentioned above are different between normal colleges and non-normal colleges: Firstly, for normal undergraduates, job intension plays the negative effects on the relationships between education background and employability. However, it does not happen on non-normal undergraduates. Secondly, the mediator effects of extracurricular activities in non-normal undergraduates are greater than that in normal undergraduates.
