Educational signaling theory was proposed by Michael Spence in 1973, he believed that when the labor market exists asymmetric information, most employers can not pre-measure employee productivity. And the assumption is that the costs of individual productivity are negatively correlated with educational signaling. Then the employer may use diploma to distinguish productivity level. Feltovich, Harbaugh and To (2002) proposed a "countersignal" theory which asserted that high ability person will signal to differentiate themselves from lower ability people, but sometimes high ability person might choose not to release the signal, or "countersignal".
In this research, we investigated the students of Financial Department, Information Management Department and Electrical Engineering Department of 13 universities in Taiwan to know the student’s willingness and actual behaviors of participating internship. We separate these universities into three tiers to explore whether there exists "countersignal" phenomenon in the first tier-university students. And what factors will affect the students to participate in internships?
The empirical results show that the willingness to participate in internships are very high. The first tier university students actually do not participate in internships, so countersignal phenomenon can be confirmed among the first tier university students.On the contrary, the second and the third tier university students have much stronger actual behaviors in participating in internships. |
