近年来,旅游专业毕业生在业内择业就业率偏低问题一直困扰旅游人力资源的开发实践,已有的职业选择理论（如社会认知职业理论）在一定程序上已过时,存在忽视诸如核心自我评价之类的重要变量问题。研究提出并实证一个新的职业选择中介模型,即核心自我评价与社会支持分别通过职业结果预期和职业兴趣对职业选择意向产生影响。研究样本来自7所高等院校的319名旅游专业本科毕业生;研究提出并检验9个有关间接影响的研究假设,其中,2个假设（核心自我评价→职业兴趣→选择意向,以及社会支持→职业兴趣→选择意向）未得到实证支持;其余7个中介路径假设都得到了成功检验。

Attracting and retaining soon-to-be graduates of Hospitality and Tourism Management （HTM） is increasingly becoming a great challenge for current tourism and hospitality organizations. To solve this problem, a good understanding of career choice behavior of HTM undergraduates is of paramount importance. Existing career choice theories, such as Social Cognitive Career Theory （SCCT）, is limited to explain college student＇ s career choice behavior for some notable reasons. That is, SCCT is somewhat outdated and there have been a lack of integrative studies that incorporates SCCT variables and other important theoretical constructs such as core self-evaluations （CSE）. To fill the gaps in the career choice literature, this study theoretically proposes and empirically tests a new multiple mediation model, by which the effects of CSE and social support on career choice intentions are mediated by career outcome expectations and vocational interests, both collectively and individually. Based on this model, two total and seven specific mediation hypotheses are developed in this study. A total of 319 soon-to-be HTM college students participated in a survey where self-reported questionnaires were filled out. These students came from seven institutes in Mainland China and they were all majored in HTM. SPSS 17.0 and AMOs 17.0 statistical software were used to analyze the data. The overall measurement and structural models fit the data very well： χ^2/df = 1.84, RMSEA=.052, CFI=.921, IFI=.922. In addition, the five constructs used in the overall theoretical model are all seen to be reliable. To work around the multivariate non-normal issue, this study took the approach of maximum likelihood bootstrapping SEM （structural equation modeling）. Specially, 319 parent observations with 8 000 bootstraps were generated for analyzing the data. The results of hypothesis testing indicate that seven out of the nine hypotheses （e.g., CSE →career outcome expectations → career choice intentions） have received empirical support in this study. Specifically, the study results indicate that the effect of CSE on choice goals is totally/collectively mediated by vocational interests and career outcome expectations. Likewise, the effect of social support on choice goals is also totally/collectively mediated by the same two mediators. With regard to the specific mediation, the effect of CSE on choice goals is specifically/individually mediated by career outcome expectations, but not by vocational interests. The effect of CSE on vocational interests is specifically mediated by career outcome expectations. Similarly, social support is seen to influence choice goals specifically through career outcome expectations, but not through vocational interests. Social support is also seen to impact vocational interests specifically via career outcome expectations. Finally, outcome expectation construct is seen to specifically influence career choice goals via vocational interests. The originality of this study lies in the fact that the overall theoretical model （Fig.1） organically unifies CSE and traditional SCCT constructs （e.g., vocational interests and choice goals） into one integrative model. As such, findings regarding the direct and indirect effects of CSE on other SCCT variables including choice goals, vocational interests, and career outcome expectations, are exploratory. Controlling for the influence of CSE, the indirect effects of social support on choice goals are also novel and exploratory. Therefore, this study＇ s findings are valuable for the development of career choice theory and CSE theory. They are also valuable for human resource development practices in the tourism and hospitality industry. However, future research with cross-cultural and longitudinal data is still needed to confirm and generalize this study＇ s findings.
