Many researches had focus on content of internship, learning motivation and satisfaction, but a few study to discuss the effect of internships, self-efficacy in career and preparing behaviors. There are two purpose of this study: (1) to confirm the relationship between learning motivation and internship outcomes of hospitality undergraduates; (2) to confirm the relationship among internship outcomes, career preparation behavior, and career decision self-efficacy of hospitality undergraduates. A cluster sampling method and questionnaire survey were used to collect data from fourth-year college students from hospitality-related departments. A total of 613 usable questionnaires were achieved.AMOS 18.0 was used to conduct a two-stage structural equation modelling. When the Outcomes of the higher Internship will make individual career decision self-efficacy is higher, It also influenced the career preparation behavior.
