Abstract

From a historical perspective, career development theories have evolved from trait factor theory to career development self-concept. However, these theories tend to focus on career selection and matching, while neglecting the influence of intrinsic psychological needs on the process of career development. The aim of this study is to analyze the current situation of employment-related psychological problems among vocational college students and their influencing factors. This will be achieved by combining the self-determination theory with literature research methods. Based on this analysis, targeted intervention strategies will be proposed. The study results indicate that by satisfying the psychological needs of college and university students, particularly in terms of autonomy, relatedness, and sense of competence, negative emotions related to employment can be effectively reduced from the perspective of self-determination theory. This research strategy provides a scientific theoretical basis and practical guidance for promoting students' psychological health in employment in vocational colleges and universities, laying a solid foundation for their comprehensive development and future careers.
