Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of counseling major graduate student’s planned happenstance skills on employability and to investigate a mediating effect of career decision-making self-efficacy and career adaptability between planned happenstance skills and employability.
 Methods For the purpose of the study, 399 counseling major graduate students were surveyed online for 9 days from October 22 to October 30, 2019. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and R program through a structural equation modeling.
 Results First, the result of correlation analysis indicated that the relations among counseling major graduate student’s planned happenstance skills, career decision-making self-efficacy, career adaptability and employability have significant and positive correlations. Second, career decision-making self-efficacy and career adaptability sequentially mediated the relationship between planned happenstance skills and employability. Third, career adaptability completely mediated the relationship between planned happenstance skills and employability.
 Conclusions These findings suggest that counseling strategies that recognize accidental events positively and use them as opportunities to improve employment potential by sequentially increasing career decision-making self-efficacy and career adaptability indicate the positive effects of career development and job preparation.
