A Field Experiments Study for Coaching Effects Verification: Relation between Coaching and Self-esteem, Career Decision Making Self-efficacy, and Career Preparation Behavior

코칭 효과 검증을 위한 현장실험연구: 코칭과 자아존중감, 진로결정자기효능감 및 진로준비행동 간의 관계

The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between coaching and self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior through field experiments. To accomplish the purpose of the study, as the purposeful sampling was selected 50 male university students in Chungnam, South Korea. This experimental design, 25 university students were assigned to an experimental group, and another 25 university students were assigned to a control group. The experimental group had four sessions of coaching program. The control group did not have any coaching sessions. After four coaching sessions, questionnaires were administrated again. To conduct ANCOVA, pre-measurement scores for each dependent variable were included as covariates and post-measurement scores were included as dependent variables. The result proved the effect of coaching on self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. As the results of analysis, for control group, there was no difference between before and after measurement for each dependent variable. However, there was statistically significant difference between before and after measurement for each dependent variable in experimental group. This result confirmed that coaching caused increase in the level of self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. The result like this has a significance to be able to be used as a basic data that used efficiently in the field of career guidance and HRD for university student.

본 연구의 목적은 현장실험을 통해 코칭과 자아존중감, 진로결정자기효능감 및 진로준비행동 사이의 관계를 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 4년제 대학교에 재학 중인 대학생 50명(남학생 30명, 여학생 20명)을 선정했고, 코칭 효과를 분석하기 위해 연구대상자를 25명씩 실험군과 대조군으로 나누었다. 먼저, 실험군에 속한 대학생들에게 코칭 프로그램(진로 특강과 코칭)을 진행한 후, 선행연구를 바탕으로 선정된 자아존중감, 진로결정자기효능감 및 진로준비행동 항목을 검사했다. 대조군에 속한 대학생들에게도 실험 전후에 같은 항목을 검사했다. 실험군과 대조군에 대한 코칭 전후의 차이를 비교하기 위해 IBM SPSS 22.0 프로그램을 활용하여 수집된 자료를 분석했다. 그 결과, 코칭을 진행한 후에 실험군의 자아존중감, 진로결정자기효능감 및 진로준비행동 수치가 모두 통계적으로 유의미하게 상승된 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이것은 코칭이 직장인과 일반인의 경력개발 및 관리 등에 유용하다는 선행연구를 재차 확인한 것이고, 나아가 코칭은 대학생의 진로지도 및 직업교육에도 적용될 수 있는 유효한 인적자원개발 수단임을 의미한다.
