Investigation and Analysis of the Current Status of Overseas Young Talents' Intention to Stay in Shandong

Abstract

In the context of increasingly fierce global competition for talent, attracting and retaining overseas young talents has become a critical issue for regional high-quality development. In recent years, Shandong Province has continuously intensified its efforts to recruit talents. However, whether overseas young talents are willing to develop in Shandong over the long term still requires systematic analysis through empirical investigation. Based on this, this paper takes overseas young talents working in Shandong as the research object, employs a questionnaire survey method to collect 210 valid sample data, and utilizes descriptive statistical methods to analyze their basic characteristics, the level of intention to stay in Shandong, and relevant influencing factors. The research results indicate that: (1) Overall, the intention of overseas young talents to stay in Shandong is at a moderately high level, with an average score of 3.87; (2) Approximately 72.4% of respondents expressed being "relatively willing" or "very willing" to develop in Shandong long-term; (3) Career development opportunities, urban development prospects, and the quality of the living environment are the three factors most concerned by respondents; (4) Some respondents still exhibit a certain degree of dissatisfaction with policy information acquisition channels and personalized service support. Based on these findings, this paper proposes countermeasures and suggestions such as further optimizing talent service mechanisms, improving policy precision, and enhancing urban comprehensive attractiveness. The research results can provide a reference for Shandong Province to improve its service system for overseas young talents.
