This study aimed to verify the effects of employment stress on the wellbeing of university students and the mediating effects of growth mindset, grit, and hope on 364 university students.
We used SPSS Win.21.0 and SPSS MACRO for all statistical analyses. Reliability analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mean comparison analysis, path analysis, and bias correction bootstrap analysis were performed.
The results of the study are as follows. First, there were significant positive correlations among hope, growth mindset, and wellbeing, but those variables were negatively correlated with employment stress. Second, employment stress of university students significantly negatively predicted wellbeing, growth mindset, grit, and hope. However, growth mindset, grit, and hope significantly positively predicted wellbeing. Third, we found that growth mindset, grit, and hope partially mediated the relationship between employment stress and the wellbeing of students.
These results can be used as basic data for reducing the stress of university students and promoting employment.
