贫困大学生的帮扶是国家高等教育工作的一大重点内容。不仅包括物质层面的帮扶，还要包括精神层面的帮助。贫困大学生在人力资本与社会资本上处于较为劣势的地位，在就业市场上面临社会资源少、就业观念落后、自信心不足及抗风险能力弱等问题，这些问题将导致贫困大学生就业选择面变窄，使职业生涯发展的前景受限，甚至使其不再寻求改变，形成贫困的代际传递。

在此背景下，本研究旨在考察贫困大学生主观社会经济地位与求职目标之间的关系以及其中的机制问题。在分析过去的诸多研究成果，并且结合家庭经济压力模型、系统公正理论和世界不公信念等理论，本研究提出，处于主观社会经济地位较低的贫困大学生的求职目标可能受到多种因素的影响。例如，贫困大学生的主观社会经济地位可能通过成就动机间接影响其求职目标；贫困大学生的主观社会经济地位与成就动机的关系可能受到个体的阶层流动信念的调节。

为了检验上述的建立的模型，本研究采用主观社会经济地位量表、成就动机量表、阶层流动信念量表和求职目标问卷调查了1065名贫困大学生。结果发现：

低主观社会经济地位与成就动机和求职目标呈显著负相关；

成就动机在低主观社会经济地位与求职目标之间起到中介作用，即贫困大学生低主观社会经济地位可以通过两条路径影响求职目标：一为贫困大学生低主观社会经济地位直接预测其求职目标；二为贫困大学生低主观社会经济地位能够通过成就动机间接预测其求职目标；

阶层流动信念调节低主观社会经济地位与成就动机之间的关系。具体而言，相比低阶层流动信念上，拥有高阶层流动信念个体的低主观社会经济地位与成就动机之间的关系更弱；

这些研究发现识别了影响处于主观社会经济地位较低的贫困大学生的求职目标的因素；还提示了未来可以干预这些贫困大学生的阶层流动信念，从而改善其成就动机，进而提升其就业水平。

Providing assistance for impoverished college students is a key work of national higher education. This not only includes material assistance, but also includes spiritual assistance. Impoverished college students are in a relatively disadvantaged position in terms of human capital and social capital, and they faced with problems such as limited social resources, outdated employment concepts, insufficient self-confidence, and weak risk resistance in the job market, and these problems will narrow their employment options, limit their prospects of career development, and even prevent them from seeking change, forming an intergenerational transmission of poverty.

Under this background, the purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the low subjective socioeconomic status of impoverished university students and their job seeking goals, as well as the system involved. After analyzing many previous research results, and combining the family economic pressure model, the system justice theory, the belief in world injustice and other theories, this study proposes that the job seeking goals of impoverished college students with lower subjective socioeconomic status may be affected by a variety of factors. For example, the subjective socioeconomic status of impoverished college students may indirectly affect job seeking goals through achievement motivation; the relationship between the subjective socioeconomic status and achievement motivation of impoverished college students may be regulated by the individual's belief in class mobility.

1065 impoverished college students were investigated with the subjective socioeconomic status scale, achievement motivation scale, class mobility belief scale and job seeking goals scale in order to test the above model. It turns out that:

Low subjective socioeconomic status, achievement motivation and job seeking goals are significantly negatively correlated;

Achievement motivation plays a mediating role between low subjective socioeconomic status and job seeking goals, that is, one’s low socioeconomic status can affect job seeing goals through two paths: the one is to directly predict their  job seeking goals from their low subjective socioeconomic status; secondly, the low subjective socioeconomic status of impoverished college students can indirectly predict their job seeking goals through achievement motivation;

Class mobility beliefs regulate the relationship between low subjective socioeconomic status and achievement motivation. Specifically, the relationship between the low subjective socioeconomic status and achievement motivation of individuals with high-level class mobility beliefs is weaker than that of individuals with low-level class mobility beliefs;

These researches and results identify the factors that affect the job seeking goals of impoverished college students with lower subjective socioeconomic status; it also suggests that it is possible to intervene in the class mobility beliefs of these impoverished college students, thereby improving their achievement motivation and enhancing their employment quality in the future.
