Abstract

This study is conducted to analyze the difference among college students' department satisfaction, career maturity, and career stress, and to examine the influence of department satisfaction and career maturity on career stress. A survey was done among 824 college students using the scales on department satisfaction, career maturity, and career stress and the following results were found. First of all, department satisfaction, career maturity, and career stress had statistically significant differences based on students year, age, academic records, entrance motive, peer relation, and health condition. Secondly, the subfactors of department satisfaction, namely, course satisfaction, relationship satisfaction, general satisfaction, and recognition satisfaction, showed statistically significant differences according to age, gender, academic records, entrance motive, peer relation, and health condition. Thirdly, the subfactors of career maturity, namely, determinacy, participation, independence, tendency, and compromise, had statistically significant differences according to year and age. Lastly, career maturity and department satisfaction considerably influenced career stress: when department satisfaction and career maturity were lower, career stress was higher. These results indicate that department satisfaction and career maturity correlate with career stress. Therefore, in order to decrease career stress, college students who maintain a low level of department satisfaction and career maturity should receive active guidance and education.

본 연구는 대학생의 학과만족도와 진로성숙도, 진로스트레스에 대한 차이를 분석하고 학과만족도와 진로성숙도가 진로스트레스에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해 대학생 824명을 대상으로 학과만족도, 진로성숙도, 진로스트레스 척도를 사용하여 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 학과만족도, 진로성숙도, 진로스트레스는 학년, 연령, 학교성적, 입학동기, 교우관계, 건강상태에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 둘째, 학과 만족도 하위요인 교과만족도, 관계만족도, 일반만족도, 인식만족도는 연령, 성별, 학교성적, 입학동기, 교우관계, 건강상태에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 셋째, 진로성숙도 하위요인 결정성, 참여도, 독립성, 성향, 타협성은 학년, 연령에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 넷째, 진로성숙도와 학과만족도는 진로스트레스에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 학과만족도와 진로성숙도가 낮을수록 진로스트레스가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 학과만족도와 진로성숙도가 진로스트레스와 상관관계임을 의미한다. 이를 바탕으로 학과만족과 진로성숙이 낮은 상태로 유지하는 대학생을 위한 적극적인 지도와 교육이 필요함을 보여준다.
