Abstract
In this study, we aimed to understand the structural relationships among self-leadership, social support, major satisfaction, and career preparation behaviors of university students who re-entered nursing college. We set out to examine the mediating effects of social support and major satisfaction on the relationship between self-leadership and career preparation behaviors. The results confirmed that self-leadership among university students re-entering nursing college significantly and indirectly affects career preparation behaviors through social support and major satisfaction. This underscores the crucial role of self-leadership in enhancing career preparation behaviors among university re-entry students. Additionally, social support and major satisfaction were found to mediate career preparation behaviors, with major satisfaction showing a significant influence. These findings imply the need for comprehensive programs and support systems that consider not only self-leadership but also social support and major satisfaction to enhance career preparation behaviors among nursing college re-entry students. Therefore, it is expected that this study will contribute to the development of effective strategies and policies to improve the career preparation behaviors of university re-entry students.
