Abstract
This study was done to identify the relationships of self-esteem, major satisfaction and career motivation and to examine the factors influencing on career motivation among 369 college nursing students. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS Win 18.0 Program. There were significant positive correlations between self-esteem and career motivation, between major satisfaction and career motivation, between self-esteem and major satisfaction. The predictors on career motivation were major satisfaction (${\beta}$=.48) and self-esteem (${\beta}$=.23) and the model explained 34.5% (F=17.84, p<.001) of the variance. The findings indicate the following studies are needed to explore various factors influencing on the career motivation and to develop the career motivation programs for college nursing students.
