However, the employment rate of tourism master\u2019s graduates is low, restricting the rapid development of the tourism industry. This study aims to explain the influencing factors of the employment willingness of tourism management master\u2019s graduates in China. A questionnaire was designed to investigate three influencing factors: personal work preferences and perception, tourism industry development characteristics, and school teaching and training. AHP-DEMATEL method was used to identify the influencing factors in tourism graduates\u2019 employment willingness. The results show that employment willingness is not affected by gender but that it is affected by age, and that students choose stable careers due to insufficient confidence in the tourism development situation. The nature of the work, the social status, and the salary are not the main influencing factors. There are inconclusive findings on future development prospects, personal work preferences, recognition of the value of the work, and opportunities to acquire new knowledge and skills. Additionally, professional practice and employment information issued by the schools affect the employment willingness of tourism master\u2019s graduates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/jcm-226955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T12:13:36Z","timestamp":1695384816000},"page":"2291-2302","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Research on employment willingness of tourism management graduates based on AHP-DEMATEL model"],"prefix":"10.66113","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Rongsheng","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Business College of Xinyang Normal University, Xinyang, Henan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingwei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tourism College of Xinyang Normal University, Xinyang, Henan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haiyan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tourism College of Xinyang Normal University, Xinyang, Henan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiajie","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tourism College of Xinyang Normal University, Xinyang, Henan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yajing","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tourism College of Xinyang Normal University, Xinyang, Henan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"55691","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/JCM-226955_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2158255","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/2158255","article-title":"A fuzzy DEMATEL-ANP-based approach to prioritize activities in enterprise architecture","volume":"2022","author":"Afshani","year":"2022","journal-title":"Complexity"},{"key":"10.3233\/JCM-226955_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6920-11-56","article-title":"Willingness to work in rural areas and the role of intrinsic versus extrinsic professional motivations-a survey of medical students in Ghana","volume":"11","author":"Agyei-Baffour","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMC Medical Education"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/JCM-226955_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"409","DOI":"10.1007\/s11205-022-02953-2","article-title":"Employment status and well-being among young individuals.
