Abstract

Labor education in universities is essential for the comprehensive modernization of the nation and the all-around development of students. This study aims to evaluate the current effectiveness of labor education in universities and identify the key factors that influence this effectiveness. Using survey data from Chongqing Technology and Business University, a binary logistic model was employed for empirical analysis. The findings reveal that six factors significantly impact students’ willingness to participate in labor activities: enrollment in labor education courses, the effectiveness of theoretical labor instruction, the effectiveness of professional internships and practical training, the influence of social practice, the campus environment surrounding labor education, and the attitudes of family members towards labor. Based on these insights, the paper recommends four strategies to improve the effectiveness of labor education in universities: the introduction of compulsory labor courses, the prioritization of professional internships and hands-on training, the development of a campus culture that values labor, and the cultivation of a positive family perspective on labor.
