Abstract

This study sought to suggest improvement measures by analyzing how major satisfaction of college students majoring in tourism in the metropolitan area affects career decision self-efficacy and employment preparation behavior. A survey was conducted on college students majoring in tourism-related fields from April 1 to May 31, 2024, and 217 out of a total of 250 were used for analysis. As a result of the study, hypotheses 1 and 3 established in this study were found to have a significant positive influence, and hypothesis 2 was partially accepted. Therefore, the improvement plan of this study is to make continuous efforts to improve the competitiveness of universities, such as developing educational policies and educational programs to improve the satisfaction of majors, satisfaction with curriculum and classes, and customized teaching methods for each subject, and prior to students' full-scale job preparation activities. There is a need to improve individualized employment strategies for major students and employment counseling methods between professors and students. In particular, it is necessary to establish an efficient employment preparation system through educational facilities and environments, curricula, educational programs, and professor consultations where major students can make their own career decisions.

본 연구는 수도권 관광전공 대학생의 전공만족도가 진로결정 자기효능감 및 취업준비행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하여 개선 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 관광관련 분야를 전공하는 대학생을 대상으로 2024년 4월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 설문조사를 실시하여 총 250부 중 217부를 분석에 활용하였다. 연구결과 본 연구에서 설정한 가설 1과 가설 3은 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 결과가 도출되었고, 가설 2는 부분 채택되는 결과가 도출되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 개선방안을 제시하면 전공자들의 만족도 향상을 위해 교육정책과 교육프로그램 개발, 교과과정 및 수업만족도, 교과목별 맞춤형 교수법 등 대학의 경쟁력 향상을 위한 지속적인 노력과 학생들의 본격적 취업준비행동에 앞서 전공 학생의 개인별 맞춤형 취업전략, 교수와 학생간의 취업상담 방법에 대한 개선이 필요시 된다. 특히 전공 학생들이 스스로 진로결정을 할 수 있는 교육시설과 환경, 교과과정, 교육프로그램, 교수상담 등을 통해 효율적인 취업준비 시스템 구축이 필요시 된다.
