Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v5i6.3393
Abstract
In the context of the new era, quality assurance, scale growth, and structural optimization are the focus and challenges of recruitment work. This study is based on the perspective of graduate admissions officer and focuses on the identity construction process of administrative personnel in graduate enrollment work, exploring the identity recognition of graduate admissions officer before and after entering the research and recruitment work. During the performance of their job functions, graduate admissions officer gradually realizes the social role and responsibility that graduate admissions officer endows themselves with, and pays attention to educational equity and procedural justice in enrollment work. The construction of the identity of graduate admissions officer is influenced by the environment, self-awareness, and social evaluation, and in the process of constructing this identity, it also reflects the problems existing in the current graduate enrollment work and system. Based on these issues, some suggestions are proposed to enhance the effectiveness and fairness of graduate enrollment work.
