Research on the influence mechanism and coping strategy of employment pressure on graduate students' innovation ability
Based on the 2412 valid questionnaires obtained from a sample of national graduate cultivating universities and the stratified regression method,the mechanism of the influence of employment pressure on graduate students'innovation ability and the coping strategy are explored.After controlling for variables such as gender,age,education,specialty and family income,the regression results show that employment pressure has a significant inhibitory effect on the enhancement of graduate students'innovation ability.Concerning the moderating effects,expert support and self-efficacy positively moderates the influence of employment stress on graduate students'innovation ability,while classmate relationship and policy perception negatively moderates the influence of employment stress on graduate students'innovation ability.Comparing the changes of regression coefficients of explanatory variables after regressing the samples categorized according to gender,specialty,and education respectively,it is found that the influence of employment pressure on graduate students'innovation ability and the moderating effects of external support,self-efficacy,and policy perceptions vary according to the gender,specialty,and education of graduate students.Colleges and universities should formulate strategies in time to lessen the negative impact of employment pressure on graduate students,enhance the role of society support,improve graduate students'self-efficiency and optimize innovation policy,so as to reduce the negative influence of employment pressure on graduates'innovation ability.
