This study empirical analysed how student's major satisfaction affected job-seeking stress. It also analysed the mean differences of major satisfaction and job-seeking stress between two groups(IPP experienced, non-experienced groups). 200 data were collected from the field survey questionnaires administered to a quota sample of university students who had IPP experience or non-experience. For hypothesis testing, the IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0 was used. As a result of empirical research analysis, first, it was found that major satisfaction had a negative effect on job-seeking stress. Among major satisfaction sub categories, subject satisfaction had negative effects on cognitive and physical stress, and relationship satisfaction also had negative effects on cognitive and physical stress. On the other hand, general satisfaction had a negative effect only on emotional stress. Second, there was a significant difference between major satisfaction and job-seeking stress. Major satisfaction of IPP experience group was high, and the job-seeking stress was low. Third, in the group of students who practiced IPP, subject satisfaction had a negative effect on emotional and physical stress, whereas subject satisfaction in the group of students who did not practice IPP had no significant effect on job-seekingt stress. In the case of relationship satisfaction, only non-practice groups had a negative effect on cognitive stress and physical stress. In the case of general satisfaction, only the IPP group showed negative effects on emotional stress. The results of this study supported the preceding studies that major satisfaction had an effect on job-seeking stress, and the study was meaningful in that it confirmed that there were differences between the IPP experienced, non-experienced groups. Based on this results, academic and practical implications were suggested.
