Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of ranking universities considering the number of its graduates employed in top companies (selective employability), as mapped through LinkedIn. To achieve this, we analyzed the presence of 3,716,720 graduates from eighty Spanish universities hired by the Iberian Index companies, considering the percentages of graduates from each university working in those companies. The index obtained presents a short statistical range to correctly discriminate all universities. Moreover, the selective employability indicator is influenced by the distance between universities and companies (i.e., companies attract graduates from universities near their headquarters). This issue jeopardizes the use of this metric as a standalone ranking indicator. Finally, LinkedIn shows several limitations as a data source (mainly representativeness, reliability, and accuracy).
LinkedIn作为数据来源,根据毕业生在顶级公司的就业能力对大学进行排名
本研究的目的是确定大学排名的可行性,考虑到其毕业生受雇于顶级公司的数量(选择性就业能力),通过LinkedIn绘制。为了实现这一点,我们分析了伊比利亚指数公司雇佣的来自80所西班牙大学的3,716,720名毕业生,并考虑了每所大学毕业生在这些公司工作的百分比。所得指标的统计范围较短,不能正确区分各高校。此外,选择性就业能力指标受到大学与公司之间距离的影响(即公司吸引总部附近大学的毕业生)。这个问题危及将该指标作为独立排名指标的使用。最后,LinkedIn显示了作为数据源的几个限制(主要是代表性、可靠性和准确性)。
