Abstract
To investigate the effects of social support on employment anxiety and the mediating role of self-efficacy among college students. A total of 449 valid questionnaires were returned through a web-based survey using the Social Support Rating Scale, the Employment Anxiety Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. The study showed that social support was significantly and negatively correlated with employment anxiety (r=-0.371, P <0.01), social support was significantly and positively correlated with self-efficacy (r=0.313, P <0.01), and self-efficacy was significantly and negatively correlated with employment anxiety (r=-0.309, P <0.01). Self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between social support and employment anxiety, and the mediating effect accounted for 18.1% of the total effect. Social support of college students can directly affect employment anxiety, but it can also affect employment anxiety through the mediation of self-efficacy.
