Abstract

This study attempts to reveal the causal relationship between certain variables, with the objective being to investigate the influence of career disability on self-efficacy and career preparation behavior of Chinese college students. In terms of data collection, online surveys were conducted during the period spanning September 1 to September 20, 2022 targeting fourth-year university students living in Liaoning, China. A total of 536 completed surveys were used for the final analysis, and the SPSS 25.0 program was employed in this regard. The results of the study confirmed that the career barriers of Chinese college students had both positive and negative effects on career decision-making self-efficacy and career preparation behavior, signaling a partial causal relationship. This indicates that career barriers are not only negative factors in career decision-making or career preparation. The current study is meaningful in that the results can serve as the basis for future studies, as the work itself investigated the influence of career barriers on career decision self-efficacy and career preparation behavior; additionally, the results were quantified. It is anticipated that there will be further studies on such influences considering the diverse variables of career barriers, career decision self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information on career preparation to Chinese college students - information which can be used as empirical data.
