Self, Family, and Society: Three Kinds of Employment Value for College Students

摘要

The psychological reason of employment difficulties for college students today is value imbalance and dilemma in employment. College students hope to realize their self-value, familyvalue, and socialvalue in employment, which reflects their pursuit for the ideal life. Back to ancient agricultural China with the conventional culture, one's family value of employment was emphasized, while self-value and social value were ignored or weakened. This value-imbalance gradually became the obstacle for the employment of college students who lived up in a multi-cultural environment and had been experiencing great changes in China's social transformation. To solve this psychological problem and promote employment of college students, we should help them to balance the three kinds of values for employment by making self-value clear, taking responsibility for family-value rationally, and making devotion for social-value.
