Abstract

It´s an important reason for undergraduates to obtain employment difficultly that performance in real working situation can´t fit the demands of employers. The theory of competency is a good way to solve the problem of performance. Employment competency dictionary was established based on literature, interview and expert team discussion in this paper, on the basis of which employment competency model of undergraduates was constructed through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that the model was composed of 5 dimensions and 29 elements, in which 5 competency dimensions included action-oriented competency, affective competency, meta-competency, knowledge and skill competency, value, quality and trait competency.
