Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine an influence of university students' major satisfaction on career preparation behavior and the mediating effect of openness to diversity. The survey questionnaire was distributed to 182 university students and SPSS 23.0, AMOS 23.0 program was used for statistical analysis of the data. The results of this study are as follows: First, major satisfaction has a positive effect on openness to diversity and career preparation behavior. Second, openness to diversity has a positive effect on career preparation behavior. Third, openness to diversity has a partiall mediating effect between major satisfaction and career preparation behavior. These results show that the more students enhance their major satisfaction and openness to diversity, the more students enhance their career preparation behavior.

이 연구는 대학생들을 대상으로 학과만족도, 다양성수용도, 진로준비행동 간의 영향관계를 파악하고, 학과만족도와 진로준비행동 간의 관계에서 다양성수용도의 매개효과를 확인하여 대학생 대상의 진로교육에 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 충북소재 4년제 대학의 항공계열과 보건계열 학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하였고 182부의 설문응답을 최종표본으로, SPSS 23.0, AMOS 23.0 소프트웨어를 사용하여 통계분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 학과만족도는 다양성수용도와 진로준비행동에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 다양성수용도 역시 진로준비행동에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 다양성수용도는 학과만족도와 진로준비행동의 영향관계에서 부분매개역할을 하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 대학생들이 효과적인 진로준비를 하도록 하기위해서는 학생들의 학과만족도 증진과 함께 다양성수용도를 높일 수 있는 교육과정 및 프로그램의 개설이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.
