Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship among career decision level, career calling, and career preparation behavior. The present study thus examined the impact of career calling on the relationship between career decision level and career preparation behavior of Korean college students.
 Methods For this aim, 283 Korean college students participated in this study and their career decision levels, career calling, and career preparation behavior were measured. Uni-variate, bivariate, and hierarchical multivariate analysis were conducted. Baron and Kenny(1986)’s mediation test procedure and Sobel test were used to analyze the data.
 Results As results, there was a significant and positive relationship between career decision level, career calling and career preparation behavior. This means higher career decision level would be able to lead higher levels of career preparation behavior and career calling. In addition, when demographic variables, age, gender, grade, major field were controlled, we found the mediational effect of career calling on the relationship between career decision level and career preparation behavior.
