코로나-19에 대한 인식이 대학생의 진로준비행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Objectives This study attempted to determine whether perceived career barriers act as parameters in the relationship between perception of COVID-19 and college students' career preparation behavior.
 Methods For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 311 men and women attending universities in Busan who understood the purpose and procedure of the study and agreed to participate in the study from April 26 to 30, 2021 using the perceived career barrier and career preparation behavior scale. The collected data were analyzed using the PROCESS macro Model No. 4 model of SPSS Process V3.5, Hayes (2017).
 Results The results of the study are as follows. First, it was found that perception of COVID-19 and perceived career barriers had a statically significant correlation, and perceived career barriers and career preparation behavior had a negative significant correlation. Second, while the direct effect of perception of COVID-19 on college students' career preparation behavior did not have a significant effect, it was verified that the indirect effect on college students' career preparation behavior was significant through the perceived career barrier. In other words, it was found that the perceived career barrier had a complete mediating effect in the relationship between the perception of COVID-19 and the career preparation behavior of college students.
 Conclusions The higher the anxiety caused by the COVID-19 situation, the higher the perception of career barriers, which can suppress career preparation behavior, suggested implications related to interventions to promote college students' career preparation behavior in the COVID-19 situation, and finally discussed the limitations of the study.
