Abstract
We investigated the effect of social support on employment anxiety among 217 art education college students in China and assessed the mediating role of selfefficacy in this relationship. The results showed that social support was significantly negatively correlated with employment anxiety.
In addition, selfefficacy mediated the relationship between social support and employment anxiety. Our findings enhance understanding of the relationships between social support, employment anxiety, and self-efficacy among students in the context of higher education in China. The results also
provide practical insights for educators to prevent students' employment anxiety. Directions for future research are suggested.
