Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a career preparation program (CPP) on self-leadership (SL) and career locus of control (CLOC) among University Students in South Korea. Self-leadership is the ability to control and lead oneself to achieve goals. CLOC is that attribute own's success of failure to own's effort and ability internally or luck or environment externally. Both have been known to strongly affect variables associated with career planning. We also explored SL and CLOC based on the variable related subjects' characteristics. Method: After receiving informed consent, 58 subjects were collected from University in D metropolitan area in Korea from March to June 2016. CPP was provided to college students who agreed to join this study, which consisted of a 15 week career development program. During the program, recruitment information was provided as well as encouragement and motivation. The program also focused on self-exploring and self-initiating experiences by themselves. Data were collected before and post CPP and were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. Result: self-leadership increased from $3.02{\pm}0.36$ points to $3.23{\pm}0.35$ points after CPP (t=-4.45, p=0.00). There were significant differences in self-leadership and in internal attribution (t=-3.26, p=0.00). The CPP based on the understanding of oneself was effective to cultivate university students' self-leadership. Moreover, the CPP increased internal attribution of the college students significantly from $2.96{\pm}0.35$ points to $3.15{\pm}0.32$ points (t=-3.26, p=0.00). CPP was also found to effectively influence the internal locus of control. Although external attribution was reduced from $2.19{\pm}0.31$ to $2.13{\pm}0.35$, this different was not significant (t=1.68, p=0.09). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the CPP based on understanding of oneself should be actively applied in career education.

본 연구는 진로지도준비교육이 대학생의 셀프리더십과 진로내외통제위에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 목표를 성취하기 위하여 스스로를 통제하고 이끌어 가는 능력인 셀프리더십과 진로 및 취업결과에 대해 가족 및 환경 등 외부의 탓으로 여기거나 스스로 역량이나 준비 등 자신의 능력 등 내부의 탓으로 생각하는 진로내외통제위는 취업에 대한 중요한 변수로 알려져 있다. 연구에 대한 목적과 참여방법을 설명하고 이에 동의한 대학생 58명을 대상으로 15주간 진로준비 프로그램을 제공하였고, 자료수집은 2016년 3월부터 6월까지 D시에 위치한 H대학교에서 수행되었다. 진로준비프로그램은 취업 준비에 대한 구체적인 내용뿐만 아니라 구직을 준비하는 학생 스스로 자신에 대한 이해를 높이도록 자기탐색 및 자기주도 기반으로 구성되었다. 프로그램의 사전과 사후 시점에서 셀프리더십과 진로자기통제위가 측정되었고 SPSS 21.0으로 분석되었다. 연구결과, 자기탐색과 자기주도기반의 진로준비프로그램은 학생들의 셀프리더십을 높였고(t=-4.45, p=. 00), 진로내외통제위 중 특히 내적통제위를 높이는 것으로 확인되었다(t=-3.26, p=. 00). 따라서 본 연구결과 추후 자기탐색을 기반으로 하는 진로지도 프로그램을 대학생의 진로준비에 적극적으로 적용 할 것을 제안한다.
