Employment Quality, Evaluation System, Career DevelopmentAbstract
With increasing attention to the employment quality of public administration graduates, traditional single metrics such as employment rate and salary level fail to fully capture graduates' career development and societal contributions. In public administration, graduates' sense of social responsibility, career progression, and societal influence should serve as essential dimensions for evaluating employment quality. This study aims to construct a multi-dimensional evaluation framework for assessing the employment quality of public administration master's graduates, integrating factors such as employment rate, salary level, career development potential, social contributions, and job satisfaction, thereby providing a comprehensive assessment. For practical implementation, a core index system incorporating hard indicators, soft indicators, and social value metrics is proposed. The study emphasizes that the objectivity and fairness of the evaluation can be enhanced through mechanisms such as graduate follow-up surveys, third-party evaluations, and support from alumni and industry associations. Moreover, gradual dissemination and the selection of pilot universities are critical strategies for facilitating the system's implementation.
