Abstract

The formation pathway of college students’ employment intentions is crucial for clarifying their employment logic, refining higher education vocational policies and methods, and enhancing their career competitiveness. Based on a review of domestic and international literature, this paper uses the Theory of Planned Behavior as a framework, combining interviews and sentence completion techniques, to investigate the formation pathways of employment intentions among Chinese college students.
