Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a group counseling program for career exploration and to explore its effects on college students' self-efficacy. Main program activities consisted of 8-week sessions. Equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed for this study. 40 college students voluntarily participated in a group counseling of career exploration. Another 40 students were selected for a control group of this study design. The self-efficacy (23 items) was administered to both the experimental and the control groups before and after the 8-week treatments. The results of this research showed that the differences (program effects) of the experimental group in the scale were higher than those of the control group. In conclusion, a group counseling program for the career exploration had significant effects on the career exploration and self-efficacy of college students.
