Abstract

This research emphasized that the importance of Social Support and verify the effects of Social Support on Subjective Well-Being through Achievement Motivation. In addition, the mediating role of Achievement Motivation was clearly identified as a key variable that can lead to Subjective Well-Being. To achieve this purpose of research, an empirical analysis was conducted on Chinese students attending domestic universities. Through empirical analysis, it was found that Social Support improve Motivated Success and Motivated Avoid Failure. Furthermore, Motivated Success and Motivated Avoid Failure were found to increase the level of Subjective Well-Being. Furthermore, in the relationship between social support and subjective well-being, verification of individual mediating effects and multi-parameter effects of Motivated Success and Motivated Avoid Failure showed that only the motivation for success has a partial mediating effect. Finally, practical implications from this study were presented and future research directions were discussed.

본 연구는 사회적 지지의 중요성을 인식하고 사회적 지지가 성취동기를 매개로 주관적 웰빙에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 초점을 두었다. 이러한 과정에 있어서 주관적 웰빙을 향상시킬 수 있는 핵심 변수로 성취동기의 성공추구 동기와 실패회피 동기의 매개효과를 명확히 규명하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 국내 대학에 재학하고 있는 중국 유학생을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석을 통해 사회적 지지는 성공추구 동기와 실패회피 동기를 향상시키며, 성공추구 동기와 실패회피 동기는 주관적 웰빙을 강화하는 요소로 판명되었다. 또한 사회적 지지와 주관적 웰빙 간의 관계에서 성공추구 동기와 실패회피 동기의 매개효과 및 다중매개효과를 분석한 결과, 성공추구 동기만이 부분매개 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구를 통한 실무적 시사점을 제시함과 동시에 향후의 연구 방향에 관해서 논의하였다.
