Abstract

The worsening economic situation following the global coronavirus pandemic has amplified college students' stress regarding employment. The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of part-time work experience in the relationship between college students' major satisfaction and employment stress. A survey was conducted on major satisfaction and employment stress among 544 college students attending universities in the Chungnam region. Major satisfaction was divided into subject satisfaction, recognition satisfaction, general satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction, and multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the impact of each variable on employment stress. Using part-time work experience as a moderating variable, we studied whether it had a moderating effect in the relationship between major satisfaction and employment stress.
 The research results are as follows. First, in the relationship between major satisfaction and employment stress, relationship satisfaction (β=-.141) and cognitive satisfaction (β=-.286), which are subfactors of major satisfaction, were found to be statistically significant and have a negative effect on employment stress. Subject satisfaction (β=-.006) and general satisfaction (β=-.003) were found to be not statistically significant.
 Second, in the case of those with part-time work experience, subject satisfaction and recognition satisfaction, which are sub-factors of major satisfaction, were found to have a statistically controlling effect on employment stress. Lastly, in cases where there was no part-time work experience, only perceived satisfaction was found to have a moderating effect on employment stress. However, the remaining sub-factors, subject satisfaction, general satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction, were found to have no statistical moderating effect.
 As a result of a multiple regression analysis between college students' major satisfaction and employment stress, this study revealed that relationship satisfaction and perception satisfaction had a statistically significant effect, and that subject satisfaction and perception satisfaction had a moderating effect depending on whether or not there was part-time work experience. indicated that there was This presented a new practical and academic implication that part-time work experience has a negative effect on subject satisfaction and recognition satisfaction on employment stress.
