전공만족도를 매개로 개인 및 대학재정변인이 대학생활 만족도에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of personal and university financial variables on college life satisfaction through major satisfaction as a medium. The subjects of this study were 9,453 university students from universities, and data from the 2019 vocational migration path survey (2018GOMS) of college graduates surveyed by the Korea Employment Information Service was used. Analysis variables are independent variables, including individual characteristics admission screening, employment goal setting, same major selection when reselecting major, university finances (the cost of education per student, university scholarship per student, the cost of study material per student), and major satisfaction as mediator variables and college life satisfaction was selected as dependent variable. The analysis results of this study are as follows.
 First, the mediating variable, major satisfaction, has a positive effect on the dependent variable, college life satisfaction. It was analyzed that the higher the major satisfaction level, the higher the college life satisfaction. The effect of major satisfaction on college life satisfaction was found to have the greatest influence compared to other variables.
 Second, individual characteristics have a positive effect on college life satisfaction through major satisfaction. Specifically, college students who set employment goals and want to reselect the same major have a positive effect on college life satisfaction only through major satisfaction, which is a mediating variable. Among the individual characteristics, it was analyzed that the students who entered through the comprehensive student record screening and subject screening had a more positive effect on major satisfaction and college life satisfaction than the students who entered by Scholastic Ability Test(SAT).
 Third, the cost of education per student and the cost of study material per student among university finances have a positive effect on university life satisfaction through major satisfaction as a medium. It was analyzed that the higher the cost of education per student and the cost of study material per student, the higher the major satisfaction as a mediator and college life satisfaction as a dependent variable.
 Fourth, it was analyzed that university scholarship per student did not affect major satisfaction, which is a mediating variable, and had a direct negative effect on college life satisfaction. In other words, the results of the study showed that the higher the university scholarship per student, the lower the college life satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, the effects of individual and university financial characteristics on university life satisfaction were discussed and conclusions were presented through major satisfaction as a medium.
