Abstract
Men are afraid in the wrong line of business, which is a widely known expression
in China. Career can not only change people’s lifestyles, but also affect their mental
health. Therefore, proper career choice will bring the sense of pleasure and satisfaction
and stimulate better dedication to the job and more occupation achievement. For college
graduating students, most of them are torn with the choice of working at state-owned
(SOE) and private-owned enterprises (POE) at their senior year, as it is the very first
time for most of them to transit from students to workers which is a significant turning
point in their lives. At any given point, the career choice of graduating students will be
affected by both interior and exterior factors. However, there is less empirical study in
investigating the career intention and career choice of college graduating students
working at state-owned (SOE) or private-owned enterprises (POE). Therefore, this study
was designed to examine the relationships between perceived maintenance-oriented or
performance-oriented human resource systems, parents’ expectation valuing
maintenance-oriented or performance-oriented human resource systems, career
decision-making self-efficacy and career locus of control and graduating students’
career intention and career choice of working at state-owned or private-owned
enterprises with application of the theory of planned behavior. To better understand the
relationship, impact, cause and effect between the constructs, the quantitative research
methodology is adopted in this study to further illustrate the relationships between
different constructs and factors. For the consideration of feasibility and cost, the college
graduating students of Chongqing will be the respondents of this research. In addition,
the senior students with management majors are narrowed down as respondents to fill in the questionnaire due to their better understanding of human resource management
system. The snowball technique was adopted to collect data and 477 questionnaires
were collected with response rate at 70.15%. Partial least squares regression and logit
were used to analyze the data, which indicated the positive relationships between
perceived maintenance-oriented human resource system and career intention of working
at state-owned enterprises, subjective norm (parents’ expectation valuing maintenanceoriented or performance-oriented human resource system) and career intention of
students working at SOE or POE, perceived behavioral control (career decision-making
self-efficacy and career locus of control) and graduating students career intention of
working at state-owned or private-owned enterprises, and the meditating effect of career
intention on the relationship of perceived behavioral control and career choice of
working at SOE. The study not only expand the dual concern model of human resource
management system—maintenance-oriented and performance-oriented human resource
systems into vocational field, but also contribute to the research on the relationship of
career intention and career choice, which is seldom examined by the previous
researcher. With senior students who actually signed contracts with enterprises and who
clearly know their choices of SOE or POE. In addition, the measurement of construct
perceived behavioral control is the combination of self-efficacy and controllability,
following some prior studies and making the results of this study more reliable. This
study sheds some light for enterprise managers, colleges, parents and students as well.
