Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of individual Competence on job-seeking activities and employment. For the sake of empirical study, we have used microdata public data provided by the National Statistics Office of Korea, which is composed of 731,852 people. Empirical results were obtained by applying structured equation model with using job-seeking activities as a mediating variable. Results showed that those three variables such as age, level of education, and specialty had a significant effect on job-seeking activities and employment. Especially, we found practical implication that regardless of gender, it becomes likelier that individuals can find jobs when their job-seeking periods are shorter. Also, level of education has positive effects to employment. The limitation is that these results are not associated to data which has the quality of employment and that they do not reflect the uniqueness of 2018. In this sense, job-seeking support education programs by local governments need to be designed out of this implication.

본 연구에서는 개인의 능력이 구직활동과 취업에 미치는 영향을 구직활동이 취업에 미치는 매개효과를 중심으로 분석하였다. 통계청의 마이크로데이터 공공데이터 약 731,852 명의 자료를 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 통계 소프트웨어를 이용해 구조모형 분석을 한 결과 개인의 능력 요소 중 나이, 교육정도, 전공계열이 구직활동과 취업에 유의한 영향이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 남녀 모두 구직활동의 기간이 길수록 취업에 미치는 영향은 음(-)이 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 교육정도가 취업에 미치는 영향은 양(+)이었다. 이와 같은 결과를 취업의 질과 관련된 데이터와 연결하지 못하고, 2018년도의 특이점들을 반영하지 못한 것이 한계점으로 존재한다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 현실적 이해를 반영한 구직 관련 교육과 프로그램 운영이 필요한 것을 함의한다.
