“…The behavioral AT scale was designed with reference to Chan's maturation scale. Starting from two dimensions of affective and instrumental attitudes, combined with relevant research on construction workers by scholars such as Yang and Chen [ 31 , 36 , 37 ], instrumental attitudes respond in terms of the growth of material economy and the degree of integration of life into the city. SNs are measured around support from family, leaders, workers, and the government [ 28 , 29 ].…”

With in-depth development of industrialization and urbanization in China, improving the professional skills and quality of migrant workers in the construction industry has become an important measure to optimize the labor force structure and promote the industry upgrading. Numerous studies have been carried out on this topic, and construction industrial workers with high skills level and professional quality have replaced the professional identity of migrant workers. However, the psychological cognitive mechanism of migrant workers’ occupational role enhancement behavior has not been fully revealed. This study aims to construct a theoretical model of the intention to influence the industrialization of migrant workers in the construction industry based on the frameworks of the theory of planned behavior and risk perception theory, and to explore the key factors and cognitive mechanisms in their transformation into industrial workers in the construction industry. Empirical study using structural equation modeling through field collection of 383 questionnaires from migrant construction workers shows that perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and behavioral attitude all have significant positive effects on behavioral intention, with decreasing direct effects in descending order of magnitude. Perceived behavioral control also predicts professionalization through the mediation of behavioral intentions, and the newly introduced risk perception factor in the model has a negative inhibitory effect on behavioral intentions and actual behavior. This study validates the important role of psychological intention on the industrialization of migrant workers in the construction industry, providing a new perspective to promote their transformation into industrial workers, and laying the foundation for the modern transformation and sustainable industry development.

“…Citizenship is generally defined as the process and phenomenon by which migrant workers are transformed into citizens by overcoming numerous barriers (Chen et al, 2013). There is a consensus in the academic community regarding the incentive effect of the reform of the household registration system on the inflow of people to cities.…”

“…For example, once they decide to move to an urban household registration, they have to give up ownership of their rural homes. With China's rapid urbanisation, the value of rural land on the urban fringe has increased significantly, and agricultural hukou, which is directly related to land rights, has acquired a higher monetary value, thus making rural migrants more inclined to retain their original hukou (Chen and Fan, 2016). These barriers have led to an influx of labour into cities in the form of a 'floating population', which is hardly a long-term human resource.…”

Due to the specificity of China's dualistic household registration system and the differences in the rights and interests attached to it, household registration is prevalent as a control variable in the empirical evidence. In the context of family planning policies, this paper proposes to use family size and number of children as instrumental variables for household registration, and discusses qualitatively and statistically verifies their relevance and exogeneity, while empirically analysing the impact of the household registration system on the citizenship of the mobile population. After controlling for city, individual control variables and fixed effects, the following conclusions are drawn: family size and number of children pass the over-identification test when used as instrumental variables for household registration; non-agricultural households have about 20.2% lower settlement intentions and 7.28% lower employment levels in inflow cities than agricultural households; the mechanism of the effect of the nature of household registration on employment still holds for the non-mobile population group.

“…Scholars have found that individuals’ psychological perceptions of unemployment risk have a significant effect on their work commitment, career expectations and individual development (Zhang and Liu, 2015; Lucas et al., 2004). Migrant workers face specific challenges: in addition to the need to make a living and develop a career, they have a deep-seated need for citizenization or full integration in the city, during which process they gradually transform into citizens both psychologically and behaviorally (Chen et al., 2013; Xu et al., 2019b). Therefore, the unemployment risk perception (URP) of migrant workers must be closely related to their citizenization, which leads to chain reactions at the social and financial levels.…”

China has 287 million migrant workers and identifying and preventing their unemployment risk holds theoretical and practical significance. This study collected data in 2019 to explore the structure of migrant workers’ perception of unemployment risk. In the first stage of this study, in-depth interviews and grounded theory analysis were conducted and an interpretation framework for migrant workers’ unemployment risk perception (URP) was developed. In the second stage, a URP scale for migrant workers was developed and then tested and verified using a questionnaire survey and factor analysis. The results showed that the URP of migrant workers is composed of many dimensions: mental, financial, relationship, citizenization and re-migration.
