If an employee perceives differential treatment entirely from sex discrimination, rather than his performance, capacity and other factors in the work environment, he may feel injustice, thereby affects his working attitudes. In this study, we investigated the department of hospitality students. For these students, we conducted a research by different gender perspective to explore the existence of perceived gender discrimination before graduation to enter the workplace. By hypotheses testing the perception of gender discrimination and how the perception affects the perceptions of justice and thus affect the perception of career prospects and career preference, to discover the relationships between the subjects of this study. This study investigated the hospitality graduate students as the target respondents, used a questionnaire survey method, and adopted a liner structure equation model to conduct empirical analysis. A total of 420 questionnaires were issued. After receiving 399 copies, we excluded invalid questionnaires, and got 360 valid questionnaires. As a result, the effective rate was 90.23%. The results showed that hospitality students’ perception of gender discrimination significantly negative impacts on the perceived fairness of the promotion process, however, the perception has no significant relationship on the perceived career prospects and the career preference. Hospitality students’ perception of the fairness of the promotion process has significantly positive effect on the perceived career prospects and the career preference. Hospitality students’ perceived career prospects have significantly positive effect on the career preference. Taking gender as a moderator variable, male respondents in compared with the female respondents, have an extra significant negative relationship between the perceived gender discrimination and the career preference in one of the coefficients of the liner structure equation model
