비수도권 대학생들의 진로 불안 극복과 진로결정 자기효능감 형성에 관한 현상학적 연구

Abstract

This research is a phenomenological study on career anxiety, coping mechanisms, and career decision-making Self-Efficacy self-efficacy among university Students in the PK Area. This study analyzed the content of the career anxiety experienced by the study participants, as well as analyzing the overcoming of it and the development of career self-efficacy. Participants consisted of 11 students attending a non-metropolitan university. Using Colaizzi’s (1978) descriptive phenomenological research methods, the researcher conducted 1:1 in-depth interviews with the participants to construct the data. Because of the data analysis, 33 sub-components were selected. The researchers presented these as 11 components. Lastly, these components were reorganized into four categories namely “successful job experience in a non-metropolitan area,” “job role modeling,” “motivation in a harsh environment,” and “physical and emotional arousal.” According to the results, the category of successful job experience, as a component of overcoming career anxiety, led to a sense of challenge and enthusiasm. In terms of job role modeling, the participants set their role models and made a continuous effort to successfully perform their roles. As for motivation, most participants relieved their anxiety on their own by actively and positively strengthening their motivation. Finally, the participants positively utilized stress through physical and emotional arousal, maintained a healthy state of body and mind, and developed a sense of career self-efficacy. Based on the research results, we discussed recalling success experiences, cultivating strength to overcome career anxiety, role modeling, motivation, and physical and emotional awakening. Based on this, suggestions were made for a program to connect with graduating seniors in college career guidance, a counseling system that can connect motivation enhancement to behavioral strategies, and an approach to maintain a state of physical calm to relieve anxiety.
