The subjects of this study were 600 college students in Metropolitan area. The survey period was conducted from May 21, 2012 to June 1. The study had the findings as below. First, the impact of dysfunctional attitude on job-seeking anxiety was found in the form of 27% physical condition, 18% aroused situation and 10% parental expectations, and especially perfectionism had substantial impact on job-seeking anxiety. Second, correlation analysis between dysfunctional attitude and job-seeking anxiety showed that dysfunctional attitude had direct relationship with all of physical condition, aroused situation and parental expectations. Under the circumstances, more in-depth analysis of dysfunctional attitude and proper interventions are required so that students are able to lower their job-seeking anxiety, prepare healthy work life in society. So is required research and development of programs that can work as a driving force for students to minimize their dysfunctional aspects particularly pursuit of perfectionism and seek jobs as wanted.

대학생의 취업에 대한 부담과 불안감이 날로 심해지고 있는 가운데, 그들의 역기능적 태도가 취업불안에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아보았다. 본 연구 대상자는 수도권 소재 대학생 600명으로 하였다. 조사 기간은 2012. 5. 21.~6. 1까지 이루어졌다. 연구 결과 첫째, 역기능적 태도가 취업불안에 미치는 영향은 심리상태 27%, 유발상황 18%, 부모기대 10%로 나타났으며 특히 완벽성이 취업불안에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 역기능적 태도와 취업불안의 상관분석 결과, 역기능적 태도는 심리상태 유발상황 부모기대에 모두 정적인 영향력을 보이고 있었다. 대학생의 취업불안을 낮추고, 그들이 건강한 직장생활을 준비할 수 있도록 역기능적 태도에 관해 보다 면밀한 진단과 개입이 필요하다. 특히 완벽성의 역기능적인 면을 최소화하고 취업목표를 성취하는데 원동력으로 작용하도록 돕는 프로그램 등에 대한 개발과 연구가 필요하다.
