The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the antecedents of the quality of graduates’ jobs when they enter the job market after university graduation.,Survey data collected from 173 Spanish bachelor and master’s degree university graduates at two time points (two months before and six months after graduation, approximately) were analyzed by means of path analysis.,A moderated mediation model was tested, where the relationship between the horizontal fit (HF) between the university degree subject and the student’s job and the quality of the graduate’s job after graduation is mediated by self-perceived employability and moderated by the time devoted to a student job. Results showed that the relationship between HF and job quality was partially mediated by self-perceived employability. However, contrary to the proposed hypothesis, this relationship did not depend on the time devoted to a student job.,This study contributes to improving the understanding about how and why university students’ work experience is related to the quality of their jobs as fresh graduates.

横向调整大学生职位对未来工作质量的重要性

本文的目的是为了更好地了解大学毕业生毕业后进入就业市场的毕业生工作质量的先决条件。调查数据来自两个时间点（两个时间点，来自173个西班牙学士和硕士学位的大学毕业生）大约在毕业前六个月和毕业六个月之后，通过路径分析进行了分析。测试了一个适度的中介模型，该模型在大学学位课程与学生的工作之间的水平拟合（HF）与学生的素质之间的关系。毕业生毕业后的工作由自我感知的就业能力介导，并由投入学生工作的时间来调节。结果表明，HF与工作质量之间的关系部分由自我感知的就业能力介导。但是，与提出的假设相反，
