Abstract

Three-dimensional capital refers to human capital, social capital, and psychological capital. To explore the impact of “three-dimensional capital” on the employment quality of graduates from applied undergraduate institutions, this study collected questionnaires from 300 graduates across four such institutions and constructed an analytical model based on the data. Findings indicate that the hypothesis of a positive influence of three-dimensional capital on graduate employment quality is supported. The implications are: To enhance the employment quality of graduates from applied undergraduate institutions, schools should heighten awareness of employment challenges, adapt to changes in the employment environment, strengthen employment capabilities, and fully leverage three-dimensional capital resources to improve graduate employment quality: First, diligently cultivate academic human capital while enriching extracurricular practical activities to enhance practical human capital; Second, schools should provide guidance to parents to improve students’ ascribed social capital; Third, schools should improve employment mechanisms to enhance acquired social capital.
