Abstract
Purpose: Nowadays it is very difficult for Chinese retired soldiers to find proper jobs, and the
primary reason is the significant gap between job requirements and soldiers owned job skills.
Therefore, it is very important to improve the soldiers’ job skills and enhance their
understanding of employment.
Design/methodology/approach: This paper expands the study scope from the soldiers’ job
skills to the employability, initiatively introduces the employment attitude which has obvious
impact on the employment of soldiers, and analyses the influence that employment attitude can
play on employability. At last, this paper develops statistical method to find the relationship
between soldiers’ employment attitude and employability.
Findings: The empirical analysis shows that soldiers’ employment attitude has the positive
linkage with employability, which makes the employment attitude a measurable variable for the
employability rather than an absolute standard.
Research limitations/implications: According to the research purpose, more variables
should be considered in the model, consequently, there are only three indicators to describe
solders’ employment attitude and four indicators to describe solders’ employability.
