Research Progress on the Influencing Factors of Professional Identity Among Students Majoring in Modern Home Economics Service and Management
Abstract
Management (MHE-SM) often exhibit low professional identity, leading to “high employment rates but low retention rates”. Professional
identity, as a multifaceted psychological construct encompassing cognitive recognition, emotional attachment, and behavioral commitment,
directly impacts students’ learning motivation, career choices, and long-term industry engagement. This review systematically synthesizes
domestic and international research (2004–2024) on MHE-SM students’ professional identity. It first clarifies the concept and characteristics
of professional identity for this major, then categorizes influencing factors into four dimensions—individual traits, family environment, institutional education, and social context—with empirical evidence supporting each factor. Additionally, it identifies current research gaps, such
as insufficient exploration of cross-factor interaction mechanisms and a lack of major-specific intervention studies. Finally, future directions
are proposed, including strengthening interdisciplinary empirical research and developing targeted intervention strategies. This review aims
to provide a theoretical basis for enhancing MHE-SM students’ professional identity and promoting high-quality development of the home
economics industry.
