Role of Academic Pressure on Students Employ ability Intentions: Mediating Role of External Support (Family and Professionals)

The current study aims to find out the role of academic pressure on students’ employability intentions. As previous studies have done limited research on determining the impact of academic pressure and employability, the current study aims to find out the intentions of students to do jobs while having high academic demands, with the external support from family and professionals. The present study collects data through surveys from students at different universities. The proposed model is analyzed by using a structural modeling technique. Recent findings show that academic pressure and having no external support affect the employability of students, while it also shows that the mediating role of external support mitigates the negative impacts on students’ employability. We hope to give full insight to policymakers to understand the role of academic pressure while making any decisions for practical implications.
