Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of prospective college graduates’ English learning motivation on career decision-making self-efficacy and career preparation behavior, and whether career decision-making self-efficacy mediates in the relationship between English learning motivation and career preparation behavior. To this end, an online survey was conducted on 288 prospective graduates enrolled in an university in Chungcheongnam-do. As a result of this study, ought-to L2 self directly affects goal achievement, but ideal L2 self affects the lack of job information among career preparation behavior. In addition, as a result of analyzing the mediating effect of career decision-making self-efficacy, it was found that extrinsic motivation and ideal L2 self motivation increased goal achievement and information collection through goal selection as a medium. Based on the results, some implications are discussed.
