This study attempted to examine and compare the job-seeking anxiety and job preparation behavior of undergraduate students. A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed; the study participants were 360 students (3rd and 4th grade), selected from K' university in G city. Data were collected by structured self-reported questionnaires from November 2020 to February 2021. Variables included general characteristics, job-seeking anxiety and job preparation behavior and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis by using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Of the total population, 70.8% were female in the health and social science group, the age group was 22-24 years (55.2%; 50.2%) and were fourth grade 62%; 59.1%). The level of job-seeking anxiety of students showed a higher proportion in health science (4.45 ± 0.81) than social science (3.73 ± 0.55). The level of job preparation behavior also revealed the same results in health science (4.28 ± 0.76) and social science (4.06 ± 0.81). Job anxiety showed a positive correlation with employment anxiety induction situation (r = 0.32, < 0.01) and employment anxiety induction causes (r = 0.27, < 0.01), and social science students showed a positive correlation with employment anxiety induction situation (r = 0.24, < 0.01) and employment anxiety induction causes (r = 0.23, < 0.01). The factors of age, gender and desired job position are highly associated with job-seeking anxiety and job preparation behavior. The findings of this study revealed job-seeking anxiety was higher among the undergraduate students and showed a high level of job preparation behavior. There is a need to develop intervention strategies for promoting job preparation behavior and reducing job-seeking anxiety among undergraduate students by providing career planning to improve the positive attitude towards desired job selection.
本研究试图考察和比较本科生的求职焦虑和求职准备行为。采用描述性横断面研究；研究参与者为360名学生（三年级和四年级），选自G市的K大学。2020年11月至2021年2月通过结构化自填问卷收集数据。变量包括一般特征、求职焦虑和求职准备行为，并使用SPSS/WIN 25.0程序进行描述性统计、Pearson相关性分析和多元回归分析。在总人群中，健康与社会科学组中70.8%为女性，年龄组为22 - 24岁（55.2%；50.2%），四年级学生占62%；59.1%）。学生的求职焦虑水平在健康科学专业（4.45±0.81）高于社会科学专业（3.73±0.55）。求职准备行为水平在健康科学专业（4.28±0.76）和社会科学专业（4.06±0.81）也呈现相同结果。求职焦虑与就业焦虑诱发情境（r = 0.32，<0.01）和就业焦虑诱发原因（r = 0.27，<0.01）呈正相关，社会科学专业学生与就业焦虑诱发情境（r = 0.24，<0.01）和就业焦虑诱发原因（r = 0.23，<0.01）呈正相关。年龄、性别和期望工作岗位等因素与求职焦虑和求职准备行为高度相关。本研究结果显示，本科生的求职焦虑较高，且求职准备行为水平较高。有必要制定干预策略，通过提供职业规划来促进本科生的求职准备行为并降低求职焦虑，以改善对期望工作选择的积极态度。
