The Influence Mechanism of General Self-Efficacy of Medical Students in Poor Families on Employability
Objective To explore the relationship between general self-efficacy and employability of medical college students with financial difficulties and the chain mediating effect of achievement motivation and career ambition.Methods From March to May 2023,a total of 643 participants(75%female and 25%male)from 5 universities in Inner Mongolia were investigated with the employability scale,general self-efficacy scale,achievement motivation scale and career aspiration scale.Results The career aspirations of student cadres[(3.92±0.36)points],general self-efficacy[(2.59±0.56)points],and achievement motivation[(10.22±0.86)points]were higher than those of ordinary students[(3.68±0.77)points vs.(2.36±0.52)points vs.(10.01±0.65)points],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The employment ability score of males was higher than that of females,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was also a statistically significant difference in achievement motivation between nursing and clinical medicine(P<0.05).There was a significant positive correlation between general self-efficacy,achievement motivation,career aspirations,and employability.There was a significant mediating effect(0.073,accounting for 13.92%of the total effect)between general self-efficacy and employability,and general self-efficacy affects employability through the mediating effect of achievement motivation and career aspirations.Conclusion This paper finds that by actively cultivating the general self-efficacy of college students from families with financial difficulties to stimulate their achievement motivation,and at the same time establishing clear action goals for job hunting,students can improve their career aspirations and thus improve their employability.The mechanism of employability influence proposed in this study provides a reference way for colleges and universities to carry out vocational guidance effectively.
