Abstract

The shipping and port industries have traditionally been male-centered, and although the scope of entry for female mariners is increasing, the proportion of female workers is still low. However, research on career barriers and career decision levels in this industry has not yet been conducted. This study can explain the dif iculties in career development experienced by women in this industry and comprehensively explain the socio-cultural context or environmental factors to which the individual belongs in order to improve it. The purpose of this study was to derive career barrier factors and investigate how they affect career decision levels among female students enrolled in M University's Maritime College. The career barriers perceived by female students at Maritime College were derived from gender discrimination (GD), career undecided and lack of preparation (IOU), work-family conflict (WFC), lack of individual characteristics (LPQ), and lower-than-expected job prospects (LOE). As a result of analyzing how the derived career barrier factors af ect the career decision level, it was found that IOU had a significant negative effect on the career decision level. GD, WFC, LPQ, and LOE did not have a significant effect on career decision level. The study conclusions can be used as important data for career guidance and counseling for female maritime college women who want to overcome career barriers and improve their career decision-making levels.

해운·항만 산업분야는 전통적으로 남성 중심으로 운영되어 온 산업으로, 여성 해기사의 진출 범위가 늘어나고 있지만 여전히 여성 종사자의 비율은 낮은 수준이다. 그러나 본 산업분야의 여성들이 겪는 진로발달 상의 어려움을 설명하고 이를 개선하기 위해 개인이 속한 사회문화적 맥락이나 환경적 요인을 포괄적으로 설명할 수 있는 진로장벽 및 진로결정수준에 대한 연구가 아직 수행되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 M대학교 해사대학에 재학 중인 여학생들을 대상으로 진로장벽 요인을 도출하고, 진로장벽이 진로결정수준에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사였다. 해사대학 여학생들이 인식하는 진로장벽 요인으로 성차별(GD), 진로 미결정 및 준비 부족(IOU), 직장-가정 갈등(WFC), 개인특성 부족(LPQ), 기대보다 낮은 직업 전망(LOE)이 도출되었다. 도출된 진로장벽 요인이 진로결정수준에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 분석한 결과, 진로 미결정 및 준비 부족(IOU)이 진로결정수준에 유의한 부의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성차별(GD), 직장-가정 갈등(WFC), 개인특성 부족(LPQ), 기대보다 낮은 직업 전망(LOE)은 진로결정수준에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 결론은 진로장벽을 극복하고 진로결정수준을 향상시키기를 원하는 해사대학 여학생들을 대상으로 하는 진로지도 및 상담을 위한 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
