Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of the GRIT of teenagers on their career preparation behaviors and verify whether there is a mediating effect between GRIT and the career preparation behaviors with a view to assisting such career preparation behaviors. For this study, an analysis was conducted using AMO 22.0 and SPSS Statistics 22.0, with 426 teenagers in general middle schools. The findings of the analysis were as follows. First, the GRIT of teenagers had a significant impact on social support and career preparation behaviors. Social support had a significant effect on career preparation behaviors, as well. Second, in the relationship between the GRIT of the teenagers and their career preparation behaviors, social support, and the sub-elements of the social supports, which are emotional support, information support, evaluatory support, and material support, all had mediating effects. These study findings showed that GRIT and social support were influential factors upon career preparation behaviors. Therefore, in order to promote career preparation behaviors among teenagers, it is necessary to provide social support in the family and school environments, and it is also helpful to enhance the GRIT, which is an individual trait.

목표의 중요성은 꾸준히 강조되고 있다. 자아 정체감을 형성하는 청소년 시기의 학생들에게 자신의 성향에 맞는 진로 및 직업을 택하는 일은 자아실현과 인생의 방향을 결정하는 데 중요한 역할을 하며, 현대 사회가 고도의 정보화 사회, 산업사회로 빠르게 발전함으로 인해서 진로를 위해 준비하고 노력하는 과정은 더 이상 개인적인 문제가 아닌 사회적인 문제로 자리 잡게 되었다. 본 연구는 청소년의 그릿이 진로준비행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하고 그릿과 진로준비행동 간에 사회적 지지의 매개효과가 있는지 검증함으로써 청소년의 진로준비행동에 효과적인 도움을 주고자 한다. 본 연구는 일반계 중학교에 재학 중인 청소년 426명을 대상으로 AMOS 22.0과 SPSS Statistics 22.0을 이용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년의 그릿은 사회적 지지와 진로준비행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 사회적 지지도 진로준비행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년의 그릿과 진로준비행동의 관계에서 사회적 지지와 하위요인인 정보적지지와 정서적지지, 평가적지지와 물질적지지 모두 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 그릿과 사회적 지지는 진로준비행동에 영향을 미치는 변인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 청소년의 진로준비행동을 향상시키기 위해서는 학교와 가정환경에서 사회적 지지를 제공함은 물론 개인의 특성인 그릿을 증진시키는 것이 도움이 될 수 있다.
