Abstract

This study attempted to provide basic data for career counseling and education programs by verifying the mediating effect of career decision-making self-efficacy on relationship between perceived social support and career preparation behavior of Korean Polytechnics students. A total of 314 students from 11 departments attending the I Campus of Korea Polytechnics II were surveyed, and the research results are as follows. First, it was found that career decision-making self-efficacy completely mediated the relationship between social support and career preparation behavior. Second, the career decision-making self-efficacy had complete mediating effects on the relation between social support and career preparation behavior. Third, it was found that social support indirectly had a positive effect on career preparation behavior through career decision-making self-efficacy. The results of this study show that perceived social support of Korean Polytechnics students affects career decision-making self-efficacy and increases the level of career preparation behavior. This suggests that through active social support around Korean Polytechnics students, it is necessary to provide environmental factors that can promote career preparation behavior by enhancing the self-efficacy of career decision-making, which is a low-level factor for students.

본 연구는 한국폴리텍대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지가 진로준비행동에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 진로결정자기효능감의 매개효과를 검증하여 진로상담과 교육에 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 한국폴리텍대학 II대학 I캠퍼스에 재학 중인 11개 학과 총 314명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였고 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국폴리텍대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지와 진로준비행동, 진로결정자기효능감의 각 변인 들 간의 상호 유의미한 정적상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 한국폴리텍 대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지와 진로준비행동의 관계에서 진로결정자기효능감이 완전매개 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 한국폴리텍대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지는 진로결정자기효능감을 매개로 하여 진로준비행동에 간접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과 한국폴리텍대학생이 지각한 사회적 지지가 진로결정자기효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 주어 진로준비행동 수준을 높이는 것을 확인하였다. 한국폴리텍대학생 주변의 사회적 지지를 통해 학생들의 내적 요인인 진로결정자기효능감을 높여 진로준비행동을 촉진할 수 있는 환경적 요인을 제공해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.
