Abstract

This research focused on verifying the impact of Perceived Social Support on Subjective Well-Being through Self-Esteem. In addition, the mediating role of Self-Esteem was clearly identified as a key variable that can lead to Subjective Well-Being. To verify this, an empirical analysis was conducted on Chinese students who studying in Korea universities. Through empirical analysis, it was found that Perceived social support improves self-esteem. Furthermore, self-esteem was found to increase the level of Subjective Well-Being. Thus, it was found that self-esteem played a partial mediating role in the relationship between Perceived Social Support and Subjective Well-Being. Through these results, practical implications were presented and future research directions were discussed.

본 연구는 사회적 지지가 자존감을 매개로 주관적 웰빙에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 초점을 두었다. 이러한 과정에 있어서 주관적 웰빙을 향상시킬 수 있는 핵심 변수로 자존감의 매개역할을 명확히 규명하였다. 본 연구는 이를 검증하기 위해 한국 내 대학에 유학하고 있는 외국인 유학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 후 실증분석을 진행하였다. 실증분석을 통해 사회적 지지는 자존감을 향상시키고 자존감은 주관적 웰빙의 수준을 향 시키는 요소로 볼 수 있다는 것을 검증하였다. 더 나아가 자존감은 사회적 지지와 주관적 웰빙 간의 관계에 있어서 부분 매개효과를 가진다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 마지막으로 본 연구를 통한 실무적 시사점들을 제시함과 동시에 향후의 연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
