Abstract

Establishing career goals and making a career choice is the most crucial task for college students. This study aims to identify the motive of college students' career choices and analyze the relationship between career capabilities and career decision-making in order to provide basic materials that can assist college students in the career decision-making process. To do this, a survey was conducted among college students attending a D university in Busan. A total of 326 survey responses were selected for analysis, and path analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 and AMOS 25. The results of the study are as follows. First, intrinsic motivation for career choice and extrinsic motivation for career choice were found to affect career consideration and career management capabilities, respectively, with statistical significance. Second, career consideration and career path management capabilities influenced both concreteness and confidence, which are elements of career decision-making with statistical significance. Intrinsic motivation for career choice and extrinsic motivation for career choice affected concreteness and confidence in career decision-making with career consideration and career management capabilities as parameters. These findings imply that in order to increase the concreteness and confidence in the career decision-making of undergraduate students, it is necessary to strengthen their career consideration and career management capabilities. As the unemployment rate of youths rises and the types and specialization of jobs increase amid uncertainty in the future employment conditions, undergraduate students face increasing difficulties in career decision-making. The results of this research are expected to be used as basic materials for the career decision-making of undergraduate students, which will assists in career path consultation and guidance in universities.

대학생 시기에 진로에 대한 목표를 설정하고, 진로를 결정하는 것은 인생에서 매우 중요한 과업 중 하나다. 본 연구에서는 대학생의 진로 선택 동기와 진로 역량 및 진로 결정의 구조적 관계를 조사 분석하여 대학생들의 진로 결정에 도움을 줄 수 있는 자료를 제공하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이와 같은 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 부산 소재 4년제 D대학에 재학중인 학생을 대상으로 설문 조사를 하였다. 총 326부의 자료가 최종 분석에 사용되었으며, SPSS 25와 AMOS 25를 이용하여 경로 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 연구 결과는 첫째 내재적 진로 선택 동기와 외재적 진로 선택 동기는 각각 진로 역량인 진로 성찰과 진로 관리에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 진로 역량인 진로 성찰과 진로 관리는 진로 결정 구성 요인인 진로 결정 구체성과 진로 결정 확신성에 모두 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 내재적 진로 선택 동기와 외재적 진로 선택 동기는 진로 역량인 진로 성찰과 진로 관리를 매개하여 진로 결정 구체성과 확신성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구 결과를 종합해 보면 대학생의 진로 결정의 구체성과 확신성을 높이기 위해서는 학생들의 진로 성찰 역량과 진로 관리 역량을 증진 시킬 필요가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 불확실한 고용환경의 변화와 높은 청년 실업률과 함께 직업의 종류가 매우 다양해지고 고도로 전문화되면서 대학생이 자신에게 적합한 진로 결정에 대한 어려움이 가중되고 있다. 현 상황에서 본 연구의 결과는 대학에서의 진로 상담과 진로 지도에 활용할 수 있는 대학생의 진로 결정에 대한 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
