Abstract

In recent years, the rapid expansion of postgraduate enrolment in higher educational institutions (HEIs) in China has stimulated graduates to pursue postgraduate education after obtaining several years of work experience. This paper investigated the factors that influence this group of students’ decision-making about enrolling for postgraduate studies by applying regression analysis. Based on the three influencing factors identified, namely Academic Performance Satisfaction (APS), Satisfaction of Major (SM), and Family Support (FS), a theoretical model of postgraduate decision-making was developed. This study also proposed practical suggestions for HEIs, postgraduate students, and their families.
