Abstract

Objectives This study was conducted to confirm the mediating effect of career decision and career decision selfefficacy in the relationship between career calling and major satisfaction of nursing students.
 Methods In this study, 400 students from the 1st to 4th grade of the nursing department at one university participated, and the data collection period was from March 2 to March 31, 2022. The collected data were analyzed using R 4.2.0 version and by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and ANOVA according to the characteristics of variables. In addition, the relationship between variables was Pearson's Correlation, and the Sobel test was conducted to identify the mediating effect of career decision-making and career decision-making self-efficacy in career calling and major satisfaction.
 Results First, in the career calling of nursing students, career decision-making r=.266(p<.001), career decisionmaking self-efficacy r=.671(p<.001), major satisfaction r=.496(p<.001), there was no significant correlation, and in career decision-making self-efficacy, major satisfaction showed a positive correlation as r=.601(p<.001). Second, the effect of career calling on major satisfaction was found to be β=.183 (p=.001). The effect of career calling on career decision-making was β=.207(p<.001), but the effect of career decision-making on major satisfaction was β=.051(p=.339), showing no mediating effect. The effect of career calling on career decision-makig self-efficacy is β=.727(p<.001), and the effect of care decision-making self-efficacy on major satisfaction is β=.449(p<.001), which is significant as a result of the Sobet test. A mediating effect appeared.
 Conclusions Through this study, it was possible to identify the mediating effect of career decision-making and career decision-making self-efficacy in the relationship between career calling and major satisfaction. It can help improve career decision-making self-efficacy and major satisfaction according to career decision-making.
