국내 대학생의 진로개발역량에 관한 연구동향 분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze research trends on the career development competencies of college students in South Korea. A total of 25 papers were analyzed, selected from the Academic Information Service (RISS) using keywords 'undergraduate' or ‘college’ and 'career development competencies'. Key findings are as follows. First, studies on career development competencies of college students have been consistently published since 2002, peaking in 2015, primarily in education-related journals. Second, the majority of research subjects were 4-year college students. Third, most studies focused on enhancing career education by exploring the relationship between career development competencies and related variables. Fourth, in terms of research method, it was found that quantitative research conducted as cross-sectional studies were the most. Fifth, the measures of Heejin Sung and Seung-il Na(2012) were the mostly used to measure the career development competencies. In addition, the sub-factors were self-understanding, major and occupational knowledge, career decision certainty, decision-making efficacy, relationship utilization efficacy, and job search skills. Sixth, career development competencies of college students were most often used as a dependent variable and had a positive relationship with employment support service experience, career exploration behavior, employment possibility, major satisfaction, and career decision-making. Based on the research findings, several future research directions in the area of the career development competencies are provided.
