In order to develop a questionnaire on college students’ employment frustration and verify
its reliability and validity in a sample of domestic college students, this paper developed a preliminary
questionnaire through interviews. 1032 students were selected for item analysis, homogeneity testing,
and exploratory factor analysis to form a formal questionnaire. After that, 753 college students were
selected to verify the structural validity and reliability of the formal questionnaire, and 150 subjects
were selected for retesting after an interval of 2 weeks. The results showed that there was a significant
difference between the total correlation coefficient and the CR value of the questionnaire (p<0.01).
Exploratory factor analysis showed that the questionnaire included six factors: frustration in employment
motivation, frustration in employment environment, frustration in exams, frustration in employment
pressure, frustration in employment adaptation, and frustration in employment self-confidence. The
exploratory structural equation model results show that the 6-factor model that allows for cross factor
loading fits well. Total score of the questionnaire α The coefficient is 0.970 and the split-half reliability is
0.914. The retest reliability of the total score of the questionnaire was 0.778. Overall, the college students’
employment frustration questionnaire has good reliability and validity, and is suitable for measuring the
employment frustration of Chinese college students.
