Under the Perspective of the Integration of Industry and Education, Improving College Students’ Career Maturity: The Mediating Effect of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy

This study explores the impact of career activity participation satisfaction and teacher support on college students’ career maturity, verifies the mediating role of career decision-making self-efficacy therein, and finally proposes strategies for improving college students’ career maturity from the perspective of the integration of industry and education. To this end, a total of 300 college students’ questionnaire survey results were analyzed. The results show that both career activity participation satisfaction and teacher support have significant positive effects on career decision-making self-efficacy and career maturity. Among them, the direct influence of teacher support on career maturity is better than that of career activity participation satisfaction. In addition, career decision-making self-efficacy mediates the relationships between career activity participation satisfaction and career maturity, and between teacher support and career maturity, having a partial mediating effect. This indicates that in the process of improving college students’ career maturity, it is necessary to focus on increasing college students’ career practice opportunities, establishing a sound integration mechanism of industry and education, and paying attention to teachers’ career guidance and support to enhance students’ career decision-making self-efficacy, thereby ultimately promoting students’ mature career awareness.

미취업 청년 캥거루족의 부모 경제적 의존 유형화 및 결정요인

The primary objective of this study is to categorize the different forms of economic reliance that unemployed young adults have on their parents and identify the factors contributing to this dependency. The study utilized data from the Youth Panel Survey (YP) conducted by the Korea Employment Information Service and performed a latent class analysis on unemployed young adults receiving financial support from their parents. Based on the reasons for and levels of parental financial support, four distinct types of economic dependency were identified: 'Moderate Living Expense Dependency,' 'High Housing Expense Dependency,' 'Minimal Living Expense Dependency,' and 'Unconditional Dependency.' Each type is differentiated by the specific reasons young adults rely on their parents and the level of financial support they receive. The study further analyzed how sociodemographic characteristics, career maturity, job search preparation, and work values influence these types of economic dependency. The results indicated that the 'High Housing Expense Dependency' type was more common among young adults living in metropolitan areas and those with a university degree or higher. This group tended to receive higher amounts of financial support from their parents for housing costs. On the other hand, the 'Unconditional Dependency' type was prevalent among students and those whose parents had greater wealth. This group exhibited lower levels of career maturity and placed more importance on economic rewards and job security in their work values. Additionally, the study demonstrated that economic dependency among unemployed young adults is closely linked not only to financial factors but also to their career maturity and job search preparation. For example, those categorized under 'Moderate Living Expense Dependency' and 'High Housing Expense Dependency' exhibited lower career maturity but higher levels of job search preparation. This research aims to provide important policy insights by offering an in-depth understanding of the complex reasons behind young adults' financial dependence on their parents and the types of support they receive. The findings will contribute to developing policies that promote the economic independence of young adults and support a smoother transition into the workforce. Furthermore, the study provides foundational data to help reduce the challenges these young adults face during their transition into employment.

The purpose of this study is to identify types of perceived institutional support among adult learners at four-year universities in Korea and to investigate how predictors and outcomes of institutional support vary across different groups. A latent profile analysis was employed to analyze data of 465 adult learners, sourced from the Korea-National Survey of Student Engagement surveyed in 2023. The main findings are as follows. First, four distinct types of perceived institutional support were identified: (a) unsatisfactory and avoidance, (b) ordinary and casual, (c) satisfactory and engagement, and (d) relationship-oriented. Second, significant factors differentiating the latent profile membership probabilities included grade, university admission type, type of high school, collaborative behavior, academic self-efficacy, and career maturity. Lastly, institutional commitment, as an outcome of university experience, was found to be higher in the ‘satisfactory and engagement’ group compared to others. Based on the findings, we discussed academic and practical implications for building adult-friendly university support systems that enrich adult learners’ student engagement and institutional commitment.

청년 취업자의 진로성숙도와 진로의사결정의 관계에서 구직효능감이 지니는 매개효과

Despite the increasing complexity of career decision-making in modern workplaces, there remains a lack of discussion regarding career decision-making among youth employees. Therefore, this study focused on youth employees and assumed job search self-efficacy as a mediating variable influencing their career decisions. We examined whether job search self-efficacy mediates the relationship between career maturity and career decision-making. To achieve this, we compared the results of traditional mediation analysis, traditional mediation analysis with control variables, and causal mediation analysis using data from the Youth Panel 2021, consisting of 1992 youth employees. The analysis revealed consistent results of complete mediation in both traditional mediation analysis and traditional mediation analysis with control variables. Additionally, through causal mediation analysis, it was found that for the direct effects, both DE (0) and DE (1) were significant but showed opposite directions of influence. For the indirect effects, both IE (0) and IE (1) were significant in a positive direction. Based on these findings, implications for career decision-making among young job seekers were discussed.
