대학생의 진로결정자기효능감이 역기능적 진로관여사고와 진로스트레스에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted with the purpose of examining how college students' career decision self-efficacy affects dysfunctional career involvement thinking and career stress, and whether there is a mediating effect on career adaptability in this process. Methods For data collection, 248 university students from city D were sampled and a survey was conducted. In the process where the independent variable, career decision self-efficacy, affected the dependent variables, dysfunctional career thinking and career stress, the effect of career adaptability, a mediating variable, was verified. To analyze the mediating effect of career adaptability, SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 were used to analyze the data, and Hayes' Bootstrapping method was used to verify the mediating effect. Results The self-efficacy of career decision-making of college students showed a negative correlation with dysfunctional career involvement thinking and career stress, and a positive correlation with career adaptability. It was confirmed that the higher the career decision self-efficacy, the lower the level of dysfunctional career involvement thinking and career stress. It was confirmed that there was a mediating effect of career adaptability on career stress. As a result of analyzing the gender difference between male and female students on the mediating effect of career adaptability, it was found that male students had a higher mediating effect than female students. Conclusions Career experts should explore strategies to reduce dysfunctional career involvement thinking and career stress that hinder college students from displaying their career competencies. In the career education department and career counseling field of college students, it is necessary to try to change the cognitive factors suitable for the developmental stage of college students, and a microscopically differentiated career counseling approach should be taken in consideration of gender differences. In the current difficult and complex career environment, the direction of assistance from career experts was suggested so that college students can maximize their career adaptability and improve their sense of career efficacy.
