Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of career decision-making and career decision-making self-efficacy of school-violence perpetrators on career preparation behavior. A total of 250 youths were selected for this study through convenient sampling of the perpetrators who were disciplined by the School Violence Countermeasures Committee or the Student Guidance Committee at general middle and high schools located in J-do. To measure career decision-making, the Career Decision Scale(ACDM) was utilized. Career decision self-efficacy was assessed using the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale(CDMSES-SF), and career preparation behavior was measured using the Career Preparation Behavior Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 21.0 Windows, including correlation analysis, simple regression analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. The results of this study are as follows. First, the career decision-making of the perpetrators of school violence showed a positive correlation with career preparation behavior. Second, the career decision-making self-efficacy of the perpetrators of school violence showed a positive correlation with career preparation behavior. Third, it was confirmed that the effect of career decision-making ability and self-efficacy on career preparation behavior of adolescents who committed school violence had a direct effect on career preparation behavior. This study attempted to contribute to basic research by revealing that career decision-making and self-efficacy had a direct effect on career preparation behavior for adolescents who committed school violence.
