Abstract
This study examined the variables that influence career maturity in elementary school students and tested a hypothetical structural equation model relating the variables to career maturity. The subjects were 2,771 fourth-grade children(1,494 boys and 1,277 girls) who participated in a Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS) in 2004. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentages, Pearson's correlations using SPSS 15.0and structural equation modeling with AMOS7.0. The findings are as follows. The proposed model, as revised, demonstrated the effectiveness of an analysis of the structural equation model, and illustrated that the socio-economic status of parents has only an indirect influence on children's career maturity via relationship with parents, children's self-image or academic work. In addition, relationship with parents, children's self-image, and academic work independently affected children's career maturity both directly and indirectly. Based on the causal relationships among these related variables, the findings reveal that the best pathway towards children's career maturity is in the order of socio-economic status, relationship with parents, children's self-image, and children's academic work.
