The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between career barrier and career maturity of the adolescents who were concretely worried about their career and occupation. 672 middle school students were participated to analyze the Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analyses with data collected by the questionnaire. This study revealed the following results. First, the correlational analysis showed that career barrier associated negatively with career maturity. Second, the multiple regression analysis revealed that sub-elements of career barrier which the adolescents conceived, such as the shortage of self-understanding, the shortage of self-reliance, gender-role conflict and gender discrimination, and the shortage of career and occupational information were significantly effecting their career maturity. Third, as a result of multiple regression analysis to estimate the explanability of career barrier on career maturity, career barrier among various independent factors which were correlated statistically with career maturity showed most effects on it. Also, school academic achievement was confirmed as a significant factor effecting the career maturity. Above these results imply that the perception on the career barrier of the adolescent should be reduced for increasing the career maturity. For this, career education and counselling should be positively intervened and reinforced through the school curriculum and activities.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of career resilience and its sub-variables in the relationship between career barriers and career preparation behavior. Toward this end, 338 college students were selected as subjects of the study. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 and the process macro of Hayes. The main research results are as follows. First, the career barrier showed significant negative correlations with career preparation behavior, career resilience, and the sub-variables of career resilience. The career preparation behavior showed significant positive correlations with career resilience and the sub-variables of career resilience. Second, the career resilience showed a significant complete mediating effect in the relationship between career barrier and career preparation behavior. This means that when career resilience was mediated, career barriers affected career preparation behavior through career resilience; however, career barrier did not directly affect career preparation behavior. Third, the achievement aspiration and career self-reliance showed a significant mediating effect in the relationship between career barrier and career preparation behavior. However, self-confidence, coping with change, and relationship utilization did not show significant mediating effects. Based on these findings, the implications of career education and suggestions for subsequent research were discussed.

This study aims to understand the status of mandatory military service planning and career barrier recognition as well as to analyze the difference between how students perceive mandatory military service as a potential barrier to their future careers(career barrier recognition) and career preparation behavior by the mandatory military service planning level among male college students. For the purpose, inquiries for the subject were set up as follows. 1. What are the levels of mandatory military service planning and career barrier recognition? 2. Is there a difference in career barrier recognition depending on the level of mandatory military service planning? 3. Is there a difference in career preparation behaviour depending on the level of mandatory military service planning? This study found out the level of mandatory military service, military barrier recognition and career preparation behavior of 284 male students from 4 universities in Daejeon and Chungnam area. Along with that, descriptive statistic, correlation analysis and t-test were conducted with SPSS 17.0 program The results of this study are as follows: First, 79.2% of male students have higher mandatory military service planning than the average value. Meanwhile, considering 3 sub-factors of mandatory military service planning, the ratio of those with high scores in practicality is lower than importance and concreteness. Based on this, it is assumable that they have a low perception for practical and concrete behaviors such as data collection in mandatory military service planning, which indicates their awareness has not developed into concrete behaviors even though they recognize the importance of planning. Also 73.9% of male students responded higher career barrier recognition than the average value shows that they recognize mandatory military service as a barrier relatively highly. Especially, those who answered "Very much" (7 scores) for every inquiry in career barrier recognition accounted for 16.9%, which forms the biggest group. and considering the response by each inquiry, it is ascertained that they consider the absence by mandatory military service time or military service as the biggest difficulty. Second, the difference in career barrier recognition between the top 30% and bottom 30% of mandatory military service planning is not statistically significant. However, in terms of importance and the sub-factor of mandatory military service planning, a significant inter-group difference in career barrier recognition is shown. In other words, to join the military is recognized as an obstacle in their career barrier recognition regardless of the mandatory military service planning level. Also, a group which considers the importance of the mandatory military service planning highly recognizes the military as the bigger obstacle compared to the other groups which are not considered in this way. Third, the difference in career barrier recognition between the top 30% and the bottom 30% of the mandatory military service planning is statistically significant. The need of mandatory military service planning is marked by the fact that those with a high level of mandatory military service planning show stronger career barrier recognition than those without plans. Through the study, the need of mandatory military service planning is suggested to both male students and career consultants considering the mandatory military service from a perspective of career based on Korean reality. Also, as precedent studies on pre-inducted men can be hardly found currently, this study is significant in accumulating empirical data about mandatory military service, a unique characteristic of the Korean career development process.

The purpose of this study was to provide implications for social work practice by examining the influence of career barrier on smart-phone addiction through self-esteem and depression among out-of-school adolescents. Using data from the Panel Survey of School Dropouts conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute, this study examined the research questions by analyzing the direct and indirect influences of career barrier on smart-phone addiction with the PROCESS macro method. First, the results of this study showed that out-of-school adolescents' career barrier statistically significantly increased smart-phone addiction. Also, out-of-school adolescents' depression mediated the influence of career barrier on smart-phone addiction, but out-of-school adolescents' self-esteem did not mediate the influence. However, out-of-school adolescents' self-esteem and depression dual-mediated the influence of career barrier on smart-phone addiction. The level of career barrier decreased the level of self-esteem, and in turn increased the level of depression, and finally increased the level of smart-phone addiction. Based on the findings, practical strategies to address the smart-phone addiction of out-of-school adolescents were discussed.

The data collection was conducted from June 3 to June 28, 2019 with 212 students in grade 4 of C University in S city. Career identity, $2.65{\pm}0.46$, $3.23{\pm}.57$, and $2.28{\pm}.77$, respectively. Career identity was positively correlated with nursing working environment(r=-.654, p<.001) and career barrier(r=.319, p<.001). The nursing work environment was negatively correlated with career barriers(r=-.216, p<.001). The variables that affect the sense of course are the career barrier(${\beta}=-.527$, p=.000), recognition of nursing work environment(${\beta}=.131$, p=.014), practice satisfaction(${\beta}=-.154$, p=.009), and this variable showed an explanatory power of 50.1% on career identity. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts at the school to enhance awareness of nursing work environment and satisfaction in practice, improve clinical practice, and lower the career barrier through support and support from hospital and nursing managers.
