Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mindfulness (K-MAAS), Gratitude(Gratitude Questionnaire, GQ-6), and career decision-making self-efficacy (CDSES-SF) as a factor influencing adults career development. Subjects were 89 adults in cyber university and graduate school. SPSS 23.0 and PROCESS Macro were used for data analysis. As a result, there was a significant correlation between gratitude, mindfulness, and career decision-making self-efficacy. Also, the mediating effect was shown between GQ-6, CDSES-SF, and K-MAAS. The direct effect of GQ-6 and CDSES-SF was found to be a positive relationship, and indirect and total effects were also significant. This suggests that mindfulness is mediated in part by the relationship between gratitude and career decision-making self-efficacy. To improve career decision-making self-efficacy, group counseling and education programs are needed to experience gratitude and mindfulness.

본 연구는 최근 성인의 직업전환에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 감사성향, 마음챙김, 그리고 진로결정 자기효능감의 관계를 탐색하고자 하였다. 피험자는 사이버대학교와 대학원에 재학 중인 89명의 성인을 대상으로 하였다. 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 23.0과 PROCESS Macro를 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 감사성향과 마음챙김, 그리고 진로결정 자기효능감 간에 정적 상관이 유의미 하였다. 또한 감사성향과 진로결정 자기효능감 간의 관계에서 마음 챙김의 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 감사성향과 진로결정 자기효능감의 직접효과가 정적인 관계로 유의하게 나타났으며, 간접효과와 총 효과 또한 유의한 결과가 나타났다. 이는 감사성향과 진로결정 자기효능감의 관계에서 마음 챙김이 부분 매개하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 진로결정 자아효능감을 높이기 위해서는 감사와 마음챙김을 경험할 수 있는 집단상담 프로그램과 교육프로그램이 필요하다.
