Abstract
Enhancing college students' employability has become a critical issue in higher education and social policy due to the intensification of competition in the labor market. We employed a meta-analysis to examine the impact of social support on college students' employability. We included
26 studies through a comprehensive search of Chinese and English databases, yielding 29 independent effect sizes with a combined sample of 14,524 participants. The results indicated that social support had a moderate positive effect on employability. Moreover, the greater the gender ratio,
the stronger the effect of social support on employability. Significant differences also emerged across measurement tools of social support and dimensions of employability. By conducting heterogeneity tests and moderation analyses, this study has provided a comprehensive understanding of the
relationship between social support and employability among college students, offering valuable implications for educational policy and career guidance practice.
