Accurately understanding the critical elements influencing college students' professional commitment is both an urgent practical requirement and a critical theoretical proposition in today's intensely competitive job market. In order to provide new light on career development in the context of higher education, this study intends to investigate the complex interactions among college students between perceived organizational justice, academic stress, and professional commitment. Using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling, we carried out a thorough investigation of H University's full-time undergraduate students in Central China in order to thoroughly examine our hypothesis. The results show that students' professional commitment is much lower when they view organizational justice to be lacking, and that there is a partial mediating role for academic stress in this relationship. Interestingly, organizational justice has a positive correlation with professional commitment and a negative correlation with academic stress. These findings provide educators and policymakers with insightful information, indicating that, in an increasingly competitive labor market, professional commitment is largely dependent on students' ability to manage their academic stress and develop a sense of organizational justice. This study adds a new understanding of career development in higher education settings by merging professional commitment research with organizational justice theory. It also has significant implications for educational practices and career support measures.
准确理解影响大学生专业承诺的关键因素，既是当今竞争激烈的就业市场的迫切实践要求，也是一个重要的理论命题。为了在高等教育背景下为职业发展提供新的视角，本研究旨在探讨大学生感知的组织公平、学业压力与专业承诺之间的复杂相互作用。我们采用描述性统计、相关分析、回归分析和结构方程模型，对华中地区一所综合性大学的全日制本科生进行了深入调查，以充分检验我们的假设。结果表明，当学生认为组织缺乏公平性时，他们的专业承诺度会显著降低，而学业压力在这一关系中起到部分中介作用。有趣的是，组织公平与专业承诺呈正相关，与学业压力呈负相关。这些发现为教育工作者和政策制定者提供了有价值的信息，表明在竞争日益激烈的劳动力市场中，专业承诺在很大程度上取决于学生管理学业压力和培养组织公平感的能力。本研究通过将专业承诺研究与组织公平理论相结合，为高等教育背景下的职业发展提供了新的理解，对教育实践和职业支持措施具有重要意义。
