Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effect of college students' self-leadership and entrepreneurship on employment competency and identify the moderating effect of nationality. To this end, the validity of data collected from 450 college students attending a four-year university in Seoul was tested using structural equation modeling and AMOS statistical software. The study showed the following results. First, self-leadership was found to have a significant effect on entrepreneurship. Second, entrepreneurship was found to have a significantly positive effect on employment competency. Third, it was found that nationality exerted a partial effect on the relationship of self-leadership and entrepreneurship to employment competency. Based on these findings, this study indicated that developing college student's employment competency through self-leadership and entrepreneurship training according to their nationality can help resolve the severe employment crisis in the age of the fourth industry.
