성인학습자의 개인 특성에 따른 취업의지, 구직효능감과 취업준비행동의 차이에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the perception differences in willingness to work, job-seeking self-efficacy, and job preparation behaviors among 217 learners participating in SW vocational education, based on their individual characteristics such as major, work experience, and gender. Using SPSS 28.0, t-tests and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results revealed no significant perception differences in willingness to work, job-seeking self-efficacy, and job preparation behaviors based on major and work experience. However, differences in perception were observed based on gender, specifically in job-seeking self-efficacy and job preparation behaviors. The regression models examining the impact of willingness to work and job-seeking self-efficacy on job preparation behaviors were found to be suitable. It was found that willingness to work does not influence job preparation behaviors for individuals with a major and no work experience, as well as male learners. On the other hand, for non-major learners, individuals with work experience, and female learners, both willingness to work and job-seeking self-efficacy were found to influence job preparation behaviors. This study identified differences based on individual characteristics and highlights the need for training institutions to enhance learners' job preparation behaviors by fostering willingness to work and job-seeking self-efficacy, particularly in the context of SW vocational education.
