Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the sequential mediating effects of strengths utilization and career decision self-efficacy in the relationship between social capital in the home and career preparation behavior of specialized high school students. For this purpose, tests on family social capital, use of strengths, career decision self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior were conducted on 287 students from A and B high schools located in Busan Metropolitan City. Descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted using SPSS and Process Macro, and the significance of the mediation effect was verified using bootstrapping. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation between family social capital, use of strengths, career decision self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior. Second, the sequential mediating effects of strengths utilization and career decision self-efficacy were found to be significant in the relationship between social capital within the family and career preparation behavior. The significance of the results of this study is that it identifies the factors that contribute to the career preparation behavior of specialized high school students by social capital within the family and verifies that the use of strengths and career decision self-efficacy are sequentially mediating factors in the process. Based on the conclusions of this study, the need for follow-up research was suggested.
