Links between decent work and academic outcomes among a sample (N = 1,231) of first-generation college students were examined based on Psychology of Working Theory (PWT). A theory-driven mediation model was proposed by placing decent work as a mediator between predictors of PWT and academic outcomes. The predictor component of PWT was supported. Future decent work perceptions positively predicted academic engagement but not academic satisfaction. Support for the mediation results was mixed. Overall, findings suggested that positive future decent work perceptions may boost academic engagement for university students. Thus, interventions that aim to improve student academic satisfaction should be implemented. Two malleable psychological factors, namely, work volition and career adaptability appear to be two malleable psychological factors that could be used as targets when working with this group. Theoretical contributions and future research directions are discussed.

样本中体面工作与学术成果之间的联系（N根据工作理论心理学（PWT）检查了第一代大学生= 1,231）。通过将体面劳动作为PWT的预测因素与学术成果之间的中介，提出了一种理论驱动的中介模型。支持PWT的预测器组件。未来对体面工作的看法积极地预测了学业投入，但没有学业满意度。对调解结果的支持好坏参半。总体而言，研究结果表明，未来对体面工作的积极认识可能会提高大学生的学术参与度。因此，应采取旨在提高学生学术满意度的干预措施。两个可延展的心理因素，即工作意愿和职业适应性，似乎是与该小组一起工作时可以用作目标的两个可延展的心理因素。
