The purpose of this study is to identify the difference between the current retention level and the required level of engineering students' career competency that they think they need based on their perceptions. Ultimately, the results of this study are used as basic data when designing the major/general education program and the curricular/extra-curricular career program. The task of this study is to identify the difference between the current retention level and the required level of engineering students' career competency. And based on this, it is to confirm the educational needs of engineering students for the career competency. For this purpose, literature research on career competency education in universities was reviewed in the theoretical background. Next, previous studies on career competency and sub-competence derived from career competency-related studies and detailed questions were analyzed. Based on this, an initial evaluation tool for career competency of engineering students was developed. Finally, through expert review, a career competency evaluation tool with a total of 43 items in 10 competency groups was developed. A career competency evaluation questionnaire was conducted for 197 engineering students who participated in the 2022 Engineering Education Festa, and as a result of the IPA analysis, 'global competency' was found to be the competency with the largest difference between importance and execution. Next, 'major job competency' and 'career development competency' appeared in order. Reflecting the results of this study, it is expected that mutually organic design of competency-based liberal arts curriculum and major curriculum that can cultivate global competency, major job competency, and career development capability will be carried out through learning activities and field practice.

This study aims to test the influence of employee competency and career management on career commitment in Indonesia. The study uses the cross-sectional data of regional government employees collected from February to April 2020. Regression and structural equation modeling are employed. The results base on the effect of employee competency and career management on career commitment in Indonesia are in line with the existing theory (i.e., Bandura's Career Theory). Employee competency has a significant positive influence on career management and career commitment, which shows that regional government employees with high competency generate effective career management, and in turn career commitment increased. Regional governments with their career management program should formulate human resources management practice policy (e.g., career support, training, career development program, and orientation programs) in order to increase their competency. The positive effect of employee competency on career management is because of the effective training and career development program. The positive influence of career management on career commitment is due to the regional government providing an attractive career program, thus, employees' career commitment improved. The positive influence of employee competency on career commitment via career management is implemented by regional government support to improve the career management program.

Preservice child care teacher's competency and career aspiration have found to have significant positive correlation but career stress and Child care and education teacher's competency and career aspiration have found to have the negative correlationship. Second, the result which examined the mediated effect of career aspiration in the relationship between teacher's competency and career stress has found that career aspiration has the complete mediated effects. Consequently, the mediating effects of career aspiration were confirmed. Based on the above results in the study meanings. limitations and proposals for next studies in the study were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to activate Home Economics integrated career education for strengthening career development competency in a career education intensive semester & grade system. To do this, the trend of subjects-integrated career education, and the relationship between achievement standards of Home Economics in high school and career development competency were analyzed, methods for Home Economics subjects-integrated career education were investigated, then a case study was developed. The main research results of this study are as follows. First despite the importance of subjects-integrated career education, there are much rooms to improve in operation of the career education intensive semester & grade system. Therefore, the systematic preparation for subjects-integrated career education is required at the time of application of the 2015 revised curriculum and the expansion of the career education intensive semester & grade system. Second, all achievement criteria in three domains of Home Economics were shown to be highly related to career development competency. Eventually it could be confirmed that the Home Economics is a core subject that meets the goals of career education and hones career development competency to be prepared as future human resources. Finally, in order to strengthen the career development competency, a case study of Home Economics integrated career curriculum focusing on the association with curriculum-teaching & learning-evaluation was developed and proposed. Even though the developed case study of curriculum has not been proven yet in the class, this study is expected to contribute to the enlargement of career education of Home Economics in the career education intensive semester & grade system as fundamental data for integration of Home Economics and career education.

Previous studies have suggested that individuals need to invest in the accumulation of career competencies. To demonstrate how to acquire career competencies, a model consisting of the knowing why, knowing how, and knowing whom competencies was actively discussed in the previous studies. This study seeks to identify the relationships among these competencies based on three ways of knowing, and their effects on perceived work performance. Furthermore, this study tried to identify the importance of each of these competencies in predicting perceived individual performance in the business workplace environment. The findings showed that the knowing why, knowing how, and knowing whom competencies all have a statistically significant positive influence on perceived individual work performance. Also, the study results showed the relative importance of the three competencies for perceived work performance. Specifically, the study results showed that the effects of the knowing why and knowing whom competencies are greater than the effect of the knowing how competency. The theoretical and practical implications of the study results were provided, including empirical evidence of the validity of the career capital model, the appropriateness of the career competency model based on the three ways of knowing, and assignment of resources for the acquisition of career competencies.
