Добро пожаловать на работу в Тайване! Исследование возможностей трудоустройства иностранных студентов

Введение. Трудоустройство играет важную роль в профессиональном развитии. Однако опубликовано не так много исследований по поиску работы иностранными студентами.

Цель. Настоящее исследование направлено на изучение взаимосвязи между самоэффективностью, поведенческими намерениями и предполагаемой дискриминацией в области поиска работы.

Методология и методы исследования. Авторы использовали социально-когнитивную модель карьерного самоуправления в качестве теоретической основы для объяснения связей между конструкциями самоэффективности, поведенческих намерений и предполагаемой дискриминации в области поиска работы. Исследование проводилось в китайском культурном контексте (Тайвань) с участием 301 иностранного студента из стран Юго-Восточной Азии. Моделирование структурных уравнений использовалось для проверки модели взаимосвязи между тремя переменными в исследовании.

Результаты и научная новизна. Результаты проведенной работы показывают, что самоэффективность с большой степенью вероятности предсказывает поведенческие намерения. Кроме того, она частично опосредует влияние воспринимаемой дискриминации на поведенческие намерения. Авторы применили метод количественного исследования для изучения контингента иностранных студентов, о котором не так много сообщалось в предыдущих работах. Выяснилось, что влияние контекстуального фактора (например, предполагаемой дискриминации) на поведенческие намерения является прямым и косвенным посредством самоэффективности.

Практическая значимость. Результаты настоящего исследования могут быть использованы специалистами для повышения самоэффективности и поведенческих намерений иностранных студентов, а также для оказания им помощи в преодолении дискриминации в процессе поиска работы.
