The Mediating Effect of Human Capital on Teaching Quality and Employment Quality of Migrant Workers in Vocational Education Institutions in China

Abstract

This study employs a mixed-method approach, utilizing mediation analysis techniques, a Likert scale questionnaire, and interviews to comprehensively assess employment quality, teaching quality, and human capital. Statistical analysis software was used for data processing, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings highlight the mediating role of human capital in the relationship between teaching quality and employment quality. Recommendations include vocational education institutions focusing on migrant workers’ career development, enhancing satisfaction with education and teaching, and innovating teaching methods to adapt curricula. Strengthening teacher training and resources, establishing a diverse teaching quality assurance system, and aligning teaching practices with employment needs are proposed strategies to improve overall teaching and learning quality for better employment outcomes. Prioritizing teaching quality enhancements, human capital development, and refining employment services can collectively elevate employment standards for migrant workers, fostering social cohesion and economic progress.
