Abstract

In order to explore the relationship between college graduates’ career decision-making self-efficacy and job-seeking anxiety, this paper uses the career decision-making self-efficacy questionnaire and the college graduates’ job anxiety questionnaire to conduct a questionnaire survey of 300 seniors in a normal college in Jilin Province. The results show: ① Career decision-making self-efficacy and job-seeking anxiety are significantly different in some demographic variables such as gender, major, and whether they are student cadres; ② there is no significant difference in career decision-making self-efficacy between the source of life and whether it is only one child; ③ There is a significant difference in job-seeking anxiety in the place of birth, and there is no significant difference in whether or not the only child is born. ④ There is a significant negative correlation between career decision-making self-efficacy and job-seeking anxiety.
