Organization of concept and analyses of the relationship between variables based on the advanced study and database is essential. Research model based on the theory and analysis of the extracted data was established; and subsequently, the proof relations between the variables were analysed. Results: The study results indicated that, only intrinsic work values among personal motivation and work values were significant. This is because personal motivation and intrinsic work values are related to subjects' aptitudes, interests, talents, and future professions when students choose their majors. Therefore, interest, abilities, achievement, high understanding, and satisfactory schooling are important factors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between academic efficacy and vocational identity according to the private and public self-consciousness of college students. For this purpose, 263 college students completed the questionnaires on self-consciousness, academic efficacy and vocational identity. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0. As a result, both the private and public self-consciousness had a significant positive correlation with vocational identity and academic efficacy. The private and public self-consciousness had different effects on vocational identity(career exploration, career commitment, and career reconsideration) through academic efficacy. Specifically, the private self-consciousness had a direct effect only on the career reconsideration among the factors of vocational identity. Public self-consciousness was indirectly related career exploration, partially mediated by academic efficacy, whereas the association between public self-consciousness and career commitment was fully mediated by it. Based on these results, implications for career education and counseling in convergence era were discussed and suggestions for further study were included.

A non-equivalent control group pre-posttest of quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 120 nursing students located in J provinces, 60 students for the experimental group and 60 students for the control group. Study participants were a third-year student at college of nursing student. The experimental group participated in the study for 6 weeks. The results showed that the simulation-based practice education significantly improved employability(t=-2.31, p=.023) and career exploration behavior(t=-3.05, p=.003) of nursing students. However, there was no significant difference in the decision-making self-efficacy(t=-.87, p=.387). In conclusion, simulation-based practice education should be strengthened because it is useful for education of nursing students.

This study aimed to empirically analyze the factors influencing the career search intention of college students. The research model was derived based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), considering the unique characteristics of university students. Self-efficacy and outcome expectations were investigated as independent variables, while mastery experience, verbal persuasion, vicarious learning, and positive emotions were considered as antecedent variables. A survey was conducted among college students in the metropolitan area, resulting in 217 valid responses for analysis. Empirical analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with AMOS 24. The findings revealed that mastery experience, vicarious learning, and positive emotions had a significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Furthermore, verbal persuasion and positive emotions significantly influenced outcome expectations. However, the impact of verbal persuasion on self-efficacy was not found to be significant, and the relationship between mastery experience, vicarious learning, and outcome expectations was not examined. Both self-efficacy and outcome expectations were found to have a significant positive effect on career search intention, with outcome expectations exhibiting a stronger influence. The empirical results contribute to the understanding of college students' career exploration and provide implications for academic and practical contexts.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of college adjustment on the relationship between self-leadership and career decision-making self-efficacy in first-year nursing students. Methods: This descriptive research involved 250 nursing freshmen at two local universities and analyzed data from the final 170 students. Descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression were employed for data analysis. The mediating effect was assessed following Baron and Kenny's three-step verification procedure, and the statistical significance of the mediating effect was determined by bootstrapping. Results: Academic adjustment (β=.24, p<.001) and institutional adjustment (β=.20, p=.004), sub-factors of college adjustment, were identified to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the subject's self-leadership and career decision-making self-efficacy (β=.47, p<.001). Conclusion: Enhancing the career decision-making self-efficacy of first-year nursing students could become more effective through the development of programs focused on career exploration and counseling, which include content to promote self-leadership and college adjustment (academic adjustment and institutional adjustment).
