리더육성 장학사업 참여 대학생의 진로결정성과 진로설계, 학업 및 대학적응 간의 구조적 관계

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationship among university students’ career decision making, career design, and academic⋅adaptation to university and to analyze them according to small cities, large cities area multi-group analysis.
 Methods The participants in this study consisted of 286 individuals who had participated in the 2020 Leader Development Scholarship Project at the Samsung Dream Scholarship Foundation and had responded to all of the research instruments. It was analyzed by the multi-group structural equation and the structural relationship among variables using the SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0 programs. The mediating effect was verified in the 95% confidence interval by the bootstrap estimation method.
 Results The main findings are as follows. First, looking at Pearson's correlation analysis results focusing on university adaptation factors, there was a positive correlation between career decision making and career design. Second, the career design mediated fully in the process of career decision making affecting academic⋅adaptation to university. Third, the results of the multi-group analysis based on the small and large cities areas showed that “career decision making➔academic⋅adaptation to university” had a stronger influence on students in small cities compared to those in large cities, thus proving the partial adjustment effect.
 Conclusions Based on the results of this study, we propose implementing practical measures to improve adaptation to college life through the leader development scholarship project. And several measures were discussed to mitigate the negative impacts of the information access gap on learning.
