Abstract
The purpose of the study is to identify the grit and career preparation behaviors of healthcare major college students and to analyze factors associated with their academic achievements. A structured questionnaire survey was carried on 241 students at an university in D-city. The scores for grit, career preparation behavior, and academic achievements were 3.32, 2.87, and 3.44, respectively. The study results show statistical differences among academic achievements, motivation to choose major, and satisfaction with major and university. The strong and positive effects of grit and career preparation on academic achievements were found. The satisfaction with major(β=.279 p<.001) and grit (β=.224 p=.001) explained 23% of academic achievements. The results suggest various intervention programs based on multiple factors associated with grit and major satisfaction in order to enhance academic achievements.
