Mechanism of Vocational College Students'Intention to Return Hometown for Employment:Perspective of Instrumental Rationality and Value Rationality
The return of vocational college students to their hometown for employment is of great significance to realize the revitalization of rural talents and rural industries.This paper explains the mechanism of vocational college students'intention to return hometown for employment from the perspectives of instrumental rationality and value rationality.Through the empirical analysis of 29 529 nationwide samples obtained in 2022,it was found that the rustic feeling positively affects their intention to return hometown for employment,and the sense of urban integration plays a part of mediating role;family endowment negatively affects their intention to return hometown for employment through the partial intermediary of individual social capital and human capital;the effect of returning policy perception positively moderates the influence of rustic feeling on their intention to return hometown for employment.In light of this,local governments should establish precise channels for disseminating returning policies,leveraging the ties of rustic feeling to facilitate the return of vocational talent;vocational education authorities pilot a targeted enrollment of returning hometown for employment,guiding the adaptation of disciplines relevant to rural industries;vocational colleges enhance job assistance for students from underprivileged backgrounds,advancing rural practice and urban job-seeking support;vocational college students endeavor to fortify their individual capital and actively acquaint themselves with returning policies to cultivate rustic feelings.
