Students' perceived employability (SPE) can be seen as one of the indicators of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) quality. However, less is known about the determining factors of SPE in vocational education. As the founder of modern vocational education in China, Yanpei Huang has written a large volume on ensuring students' employability and the quality culture of TVET. Nowadays, as the feature and nature of TVET, university-industry collaboration (UIC) has been promoted worldwide. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of quality culture from Yanpei Huang's perspective (YHQC) on the SPE and the UIC role in the relationship between YHQC and SPE in a TVET university in China. Data were collected by questionnaire from 341 students from one vocational education university in China. The questionnaire included measures of quality culture, perceived employability, and UIC. The Structural Equation Modelling by AMOS 25 was used to test the proposed hypothesis. The results indicate that YHQC acts as a significant factor in enhancing SPE, and UIC is found to act as a partial mediator in this relationship. This study has contributed to the literature and practices by presenting a comprehensive quality culture from Yanpei Huang's perspective, confirming the above relationship, and providing practical suggestions for stakeholders to develop a quality culture in TVET institutes, promote UIC, and enhance SPE.
学生感知到的就业能力（SPE）可被视为技术和职业教育与培训（TVET）质量的指标之一。然而，关于职业教育中SPE的决定因素，人们了解得较少。作为中国现代职业教育的奠基人，黄炎培撰写了大量关于确保学生就业能力和TVET质量文化的著作。如今，作为TVET的特征和本质，校企合作（UIC）在全球范围内得到了推广。本研究的主要目的是从黄炎培的视角（YHQC）探讨质量文化对SPE的影响，以及在中国一所TVET大学中，UIC在YHQC与SPE关系中的作用。通过问卷调查收集了来自中国一所职业教育大学的341名学生的数据。问卷包括质量文化、感知就业能力和UIC的测量指标。使用AMOS 25进行结构方程建模来检验所提出的假设。结果表明，YHQC是提升SPE的一个重要因素，并且发现UIC在这种关系中起到部分中介作用。本研究通过从黄炎培的视角呈现全面的质量文化、证实上述关系，并为利益相关者在TVET机构中培育质量文化、促进校企合作以及提升学生感知就业能力提供实际建议，为相关文献和实践做出了贡献。
