Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of college education satisfaction on the employment preparation and social participation of young adults during the pandemic period. To accomplish this research purpose, the researcher used the panel data of Korea Youth Policy Institute and analyzed the eight variables related to college education satisfaction, employment preparation, and social participation. This study's sample consisted of a total of 2,941 individuals, and both structural equation modeling and multigroup structural equation modeling were applied for the analysis. The results revealed that college education satisfaction had a significantly positive influence on the employment preparation activities and social participation of young adults. In the multigroup structural equation modeling analysis, it was found that college education satisfaction had a significantly positive impact on employment preparation and social participation for women, while for men, it only significantly affected employment preparation. Furthermore, college education satisfaction did not show significant effects on the employment preparation and social participation of graduates from junior colleges, but it did have a significantly positive impact on the employment preparation activities of graduates from four-year colleges. Based on these research findings, policy and educational interventions to enhance the college education satisfaction of male students and graduates from junior colleges are required.

본 연구의 목적은 펜데믹 기간 대학교육의 만족도가 청년들의 취업준비 및 사회참여에 끼치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 한국청소년정책연구원이 전국단위 표집을 통해 구축한 2021년 청년경제사회 패널데이터의 대학교육만족도, 취업활동, 사회참여 등에 관한 8개 변수를 분석했다. 연구대상은 총 2,941명이고, 구조방정식모형과 다집단 구조방정식모형을 적용하여 분석한 결과 대학교육만족도는 청년들의 취업준비 활동과 사회참여에 유의미하게 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 다집단 구조방정식 모형분석 결과 대학교육만족도는 여성의 취업준비와 사회참여에 유의미하게 긍정적인 영향을 주었으나, 남성집단에서는 취업준비에만 유의미한 영향을 주었다. 또한 대학교육 만족도는 전문대학 졸업자의 취업준비활동과 사회참여에는 유의미한 영향을 주지 않았으나, 4년제 대학 졸업자의 취업준비 활동에는 유의미한 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 이러한 연구결과에 따라서 남성과 전문대학 졸업자의 대학교육 만족도를 제고할 수 있는 정책적, 교육적 처방이 요구된다.
