Abstract

Recently, the number of out-of-school adolescents has been increasing, and problems associated with their careers have become an important issue. This study was conducted to identify the relationship between the career barriers and perceived social support type/support source and to examine whether a sense of alienation mediates the relationship between perceived social support and career barriers among out-of-school adolescents preparing for the qualification examination for their high school degree. To accomplish this, a survey of 207 students from the Youth Support Center for out-of-school adolescents-K-Dream-and Qualification Examination Institute located in five regions (Seoul, Busan, Jeju, Gangwon, and Jeonla province) was conducted. Correlation analysis, regression analysis and the Sobel test were used to verify the relationships between variables and mediation effects. The results showed a significant negative correlation between social support and career barriers and a significant positive correlation between alienation and career barriers. Carrier barriers and alienation were highly correlated with parent support and evaluation support. Moreover, a sense of alienation was found to fully mediate the relationship between parental support/teacher support and career barriers, as well as to partially mediate the relationship between peer support and career barriers. A sense of alienation was found to fully mediate the relationship between information support/evaluation support/emotional support/material support and career barriers. These findings imply that, in out-of-school adolescents, career barriers can be reduced through various kinds of social support provided by peers, parents and teachers as it decreases the sense of alienation.

최근 들어 학교 밖 청소년들의 수가 증가하고 있으며 이들의 진로문제가 중요한 청소년 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 고졸검정고시를 준비하는 학교 밖 청소년들이 지각한 진로장벽과 사회적 지지의 유형 및 사회적 지지원 간의 관계를 밝히고, 이들의 지각한 사회적 지지가 소외감을 매개로 하여 진로장벽에 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 전국 5개 권역의 청소년지원센터 꿈드림(학교 밖 청소년지원센터)과 검정고시 학원의 학교 밖 청소년 207명을 대상으로 사회적지지, 진로장벽, 소외감에 대한 설문을 실시하였다. 또한 상관분석과 회귀분석과 Sobel test를 활용하여 변인간의 관계와 소외감의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지각된 사회적 지지는 진로장벽, 소외감과 유의한 부적상관이 있었으며, 소외감과 진로장벽은 유의한 정적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 진로장벽과 소외감은 사회적지지 중에서도 부모의 지지와 평가적 지지와 가장 높은 부적상관을 보였다. 또한 소외감은 부모지지 및 교사 지지와 진로장벽 간의 관계를 완전매개 하였으며, 친구지지와 진로장벽 간의 관계를 부분매개 하였다. 소외감은 정보적, 물질적, 평가적, 정서적 사회적 지지의 모든 유형과 진로장벽 간의 관계를 완전매개 하였다. 이는 고졸 검정고시를 준비하는 학교 밖 청소년들의 경우 부모 및 교사, 친구들이 제공하는 여러 유형의 사회적 지지를 향상하여 소외감을 낮춰줌으로써 진로장벽을 낮춰갈 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.
