Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify the long term effects of career club activity programs on university students' career decision-making self-efficacy, career competency, and career preparation behavior. This study was conducted on 65 out of 113 participants in the career club activity program operated for 1st to 4th graders at D University in Busan, who conducted both pre- and post-examination. The results of this study are as follows. First, the career club activity program is effective in career decision-making self-efficacy. Second, the career club activity program is effective in career competency. Third, the career club activity program is an effective tool for career preparation. The results of this study show that club activity is effective in improving university students' career decision-making self-efficacy, career competency, and career preparation behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to open and reorganize career clubs for department-based career exploration for freshmen, career clubs for students to cultivate career design-based career skills, and experience-based employment clubs for seniors/job seekers. Furthermore, the study suggested that there is a need to link and reorganize club activities with credit systems such as the career semester system to foster student autonomy and initiative and revitalize career activities.
