Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the effects of nursing students' major selection motivation on their career decision making self-efficacy and major satisfaction. For the goal, the study made a questionnaire survey of 300 nursing students in their 3rd or 4th year of a college in J City. 285 sheets were finally analyzed using the SPSS 25 Program. The findings of this research are as follows. Concerning general characteristics, there's a significant difference in influence on the abovementioned self-efficacy between personality and school satisfaction. Major satisfaction significantly varied depending on school satisfaction. There were significantly positive correlations existed between major selection motivation, and major satisfaction. Either intrinsic or extrinsic motivation affected the foresaid self-efficacy and major satisfaction in a significant, positive way. Regarding the influence of factors of major satisfaction on those of major selection motivation, curriculum and perception satisfaction had significant effects on intrinsic motivation as well as extrinsic one, while relationship satisfaction had such effect only on intrinsic motivation. These findings suggest that strategies for raising nursing students' major selection motivation should be taken, resultantly improving their career decision making self-efficacy and major satisfaction.
