Abstract

In the context of the expansion of universal education, the employment anxiety of master students seriously affects their scientific research investment. Through in-depth interviews with master students and qualitative analysis based on grounded theory, individual characteristics, external environment, invisible culture, and institutional norms are identified as factors affecting the scientific research investment of master students, and are summarized into two dimensions: individual and environment. Under the interaction between individuals and the environment, the scientific research behavior of graduate students has negative performance. By constructing a mechanism model for the impact of master students' employment anxiety on scientific research investment, corresponding strategies are proposed to enhance the understanding of the issue of master students' employment anxiety on scientific research investment in the context of universalization, and provide a basis for education management.
