Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of major satisfaction and major commitment of undergraduate students majoring in social welfare on the intention to have a social welfare job. For this study, a survey of 442 undergraduate students majoring in social welfare at 4 universities located in Kangwon-do was conducted and the data was analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. Major satisfaction consisted of general satisfaction and satisfaction of subjects, and major commitment consisted of emotional commitment, behavioral commitment, intellectual commitment and time commitment. The research findings are as follows: First, 62.3% of respondents had an intention to have a social welfare job, and 21.6% were undecided. Second, the level of major satisfaction(2.98) and major commitment(2.63) were slightly higher than the mid-point of the 4-point Likert scale. Third, major satisfaction and major commitment showed a significant difference according to intention to have a welfare job and university attended. Fourth, major satisfaction and major commitment had a positive effect on the intention to have a social welfare job according to the results of binary logistic regression. This study concludes by discussing theoretical implications for future study and practical implications for major satisfaction and major commitment strategies based on our results.

본 연구는 사회복지학 전공생을 대상으로 전공만족과 전공몰입이 졸업 후 사회복지직 취업의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 실시되었다. 이를 위해 강원도 소재 4개 대학교 사회복지학과 학생 442명의 설문조사를 SPSS 22.0을 이용하여 분석하였고, 전공만족은 일반 만족과 교과 만족으로, 전공몰입은 정서적 몰입, 행동적 몰입, 지적 몰입 및 시간적 몰입으로 구성하였으며, 사회복지직 취업의도는 예/아니오로 측정하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 응답자의 62.3%가 졸업 후 사회복지직으로 취업하고자 하였으며, 21.6%는 미결정, 16.1%는 그렇지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 전공만족은 2.98, 전공몰입은 2.63으로 4점 리커트척도에서 중간값 보다 비교적 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 사회복지직 취업의도와 소속 대학에 따라 전공만족과 전공몰입에 차이가 있으며, 넷째, 이항 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과 전공만족의 두 하위요인 모두, 그리고 전공몰입의 정서적 몰입과 시간적 몰입이 졸업 후 사회복지직 취업의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 전공만족과 전공몰입을 높이기 위한 정책적 및 실천적 함의를 논의하였다.
