Despite the importance of understanding tourism and hospitality (T&H) students' career choices for both high education institutions and industry practitioners, scarce empirical research exists which limits drawing reliable conclusions on the antecedents of T&H students' post graduate behavioral intentions. Drawing on data collected from 267 undergraduate T&H students in Turkey, the results show that perceived education quality is positively associated with T&H students' intention to join the industry but not to pursue a postgraduate degree. The findings also confirm the mediating role of academic self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived education quality and T&H students’ intention to pursue postgraduate degree.

尽管了解旅游和酒店 (T&H) 学生对高等教育机构和行业从业者的职业选择很重要，但存在的实证研究很少，这限制了对 T&H 学生研究生行为意图的前因得出可靠结论。根据从土耳其 267 名本科 T&H 学生收集的数据，结果表明，感知教育质量与 T&H 学生加入该行业但不攻读研究生学位的意图呈正相关。研究结果还证实了学业自我效能感在感知教育质量与 T&H 学生攻读研究生学位的意愿之间的关系中的中介作用。
