Abstract: The massive rural-urban migration has produced dramatic changes in China. As a recent policy trend, rural migrant workers were called on to accept flexible employment jobs in communities. However, their employment in urban cities, especially their intention of community employment, has been under-studied in the extant literature. This study follows a qualitative approach in which a group of rural migrant workers holding community jobs in Beijing are interviewed about their intention to maintain community employment; and reporting the reasons for their intention in their own words. It applies a work barrier framework to analyze the reasons contributing to the intention. The results show that they were willing to continue their community employment, but this willingness was reluctant in nature, with consideration of the individual, family, social network, community employment and discrimination factors affecting this. The findings of the study call for a change to their vulnerable positions in the urban labor market, and suggest that social services should be developed to support the migrants in community employment.

摘要： 中国大规模城乡间人口流动带来了巨大的社会改变。相关政策希望促进农业流动人口在社区层面的就业，但现有研究对农业流动人口在城市中的就业问题，特别是他们从事社区就业的意愿缺乏说明。文章采用定性研究方法，对在北京社区层面就业的农业流动人口进行了访谈，意欲说明这一群体的社区就业意愿，进而探索影响他们这一意愿的因素。通过应用工作障碍研究框架分析就业意愿的影响因素，结果表明：这一群体打算继续从事社区就业，但考虑到影响这一意愿的个体、家庭、社会网络、社区就业本身和歧视等因素，从事社区就业只是他们无奈的选择。文章呼吁改变农业流动人口在城市劳动力市场中的弱势地位，倡议通过社会服务为他们的社区就业提供支持。
