University Employment Quality Evaluation System Based on Multicriteria Decision and Data Analysis

In the educational sector, an evaluation index is required to draw up planning. The establishment of an evaluation index is useful to properly predict the employment quality of graduates. Such valuable indices help educational administrative departments to formulate talent training standards. Multicriteria decision making is a decision-making tool that can be used in the formulation of the evaluation index. This research work proposes an effective evaluation model to assess the employment quality of graduate students. The model uses 10 evaluation indicators which are considered to be the standard employment quality. The proposed evaluation method utilizes the entropy method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. Correlation between the employment quality evaluation index and employment quality is computed. The analytic hierarchy model is used to solve the weight of each employment quality evaluation index to the employment quality evaluation coefficient. According to the value characteristics of the 14 employment indicators, the expert method is used to assign scores to the sample data on each indicator. Thus, the indicator scores of the sample corresponding to the item are obtained. Through the evaluation of the employment quality of a certain university, the evaluation results are consistent with the actual employment quality of graduates. The employment quality evaluation model of college graduates established in this paper provides effective means and applications.

EXAMINING EMPLOYMENT QUALITY AMONG FEMALE IMMIGRANT TRAINEES IN TAIWAN

This study examined a proposed model of employment quality among female immigrants after their participation in vocational training in Taiwan, drawing on the developmental-contextual model of career development. It simultaneously tested the relationship between the distal contextual variable (i.e., perceived Taiwanese attitudes toward immigrant women (PTAs)), proximal contextual variables (i.e., vocational training experiences (VTEs) and social support (SS)), the individual-level variable (i.e., self-perceived employability (SPE)), and employment quality (EQ) in the model. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 447 female immigrant trainees who had worked for over 6 months after vocational training in Taiwan. The results supported the proposed model based on the developmental-contextual approach, which explained 56.9% of the variance in EQ. The results further revealed that PTAs positively affected SPE, VTEs and SS. In turn, VTEs and SS positively directly and indirectly affected EQ through their impacts on SPE, and SPE positively influenced EQ. The three most important factors that determined the EQ of immigrant women who participated in vocational training were VTEs, SPE, and PTAs. Keywords: career development, employment quality, immigrant women, vocational training

Research on the Relationship between Social Support and Employment Quality of Chinese Athletes from the Perspective of Social Network Structure

Based on the theories of social network, social support, and retirement process, this study analyzes the source and composition of social support for Chinese athletes on the basis of constructing the social support network. Subsequently, we analyze the impact of social support on employment quality of Chinese athletes from different dimensions and further explore the mechanism of social support on the employment quality of athletes from the moderating role of athletes’ self-employment cognition. The study found that the social support network of athletes showed a clear tendency toward “strong ties,” and the social support they received mainly came from family members, teammates, and sports team managers. These kinds of social support will directly promote the employment quality of athletes after retirement. When athletes have full knowledge of their future employment status, the effect of social support in promoting employment quality will be further expanded.

Reducing the constraints to school access and progress: Assessing the effects of a school scholarship program in Malawi

This study utilizes a non-equivalent groups research design to compare the educational experiences and outcomes of two student groups – those who did and those who did not receive a needs-based scholarship to attend secondary school and college in the Dowa, Kasungu, and Lilongwe Districts of Malawi. We assess impacts across a range of short and medium-term outcomes, including: school attendance, withdrawal, attainment, graduation, employment status, employment quality, and post-schooling income. The scholarship substantially reduces the household cost of participation in school, and reduces the distance travelled to school. As a result, we find that scholarship recipients attain between 1 and 1.5 years of additional school and graduate at higher rates. In terms of post-schooling outcomes, we find that recipients are in higher wage-earning occupations after leaving school. Overall, results suggest that scholarships are an effective demand-side strategy for improving schooling attainment, progression, and potentially longer-term labor market outcomes.

Hosting Major International Sports Events in a Country: A Socioeconomic Impact

This research focuses on the impact of sponsoring major sports events concerned with the socioeconomic aspects of Qatar. Context is the hosting of FIFA 2022 in Qatar. A questionnaire has been developed based on the underpinning theory, which included seven dimensions of measuring socioeconomic impact that covered Micro, Meso, Macroeconomic, Employment, Quality of Life, Social Cohesion and Environmental aspects. Questionnaire survey was conducted for a sample size of 126, which included the managers from tourism industry and sponsoring of sports events. The research methodology involved descriptive statistics calculations using MS Excel and SPSS. The response score was collected on a 5-point Likert scale for quantitative measures and the Mean, Standard Deviation, Kurtosis, Skewness and Frequency Distributions were computed for seven dimensions. The responses were later categorized into degrees of agreement with a priori scale to understand the relative impact of sponsoring sports events concerned with socioeconomic aspects. The results have indicated that, the highest impact would be on the creation of Environmental Consciousness among the citizens of Qatar followed by the impact on the Micro, Meso and Macroeconomic aspects of the country.
