ABSTRACT

The employability of college students includes not only the individual ability to get a job, but also the ability to continuously complete work and achieve good career development. At present, the lack of employability of college students is a major obstacle to their smooth employment, and the lack of employability is closely related to the lack of psychological capital. With the methods of literature review and questionnaire survey, this paper analyzes the composition of College Students' psychological capital, psychological status and employment status of college students, and gives reasonable opinions on the improvement of College Students' employability on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of these situations. There is still a big gap between the employability of college graduates and the actual needs of employers (Zhang Jin, 2007; Wang Ting & Zeng Xiangquan, 2009; Wang Ting, 2009; Huang Bingchan, 2015, Cheng Wei, 2017). Combined with the actual characteristics of college students, the positive psychological capital of college students is developed from four dimensions of self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience. Psychological capital is a kind of positive psychological state of individuals in their growth and development. If individual psychological capital can be effectively and reasonably developed and utilized, the positive psychological power hidden in individuals and their self-management and recovery ability in the face of adversity can be excavated. The construction of psychological capital intervention system will be of great significance to improve the current employment guidance in colleges and universities.
