The Sequential Mediating Effects of Perfectionism and the Lack of Tolerance for Creating Uncertainty in the Relationship between Parental Achievement Pressure and College Students' Career Preparation Behavior

The purpose of this study is to confirm the structure and effect of parental achievement pressure on college students' career preparation behavior through personal perfectionism and the lack of tolerance for uncertainty. In particular, we sought to determine what factors influence college students' career preparation behavior by identifying the functions of parental achievement pressure, perfectionism, and lack of patience for uncertainty. Based on previous research, a tendency towards perfectionism, coupled with a lack of tolerance for uncertainty, were selected as factors that influence the relationship between parents' achievement pressure and college students' career preparation behavior. Also, perfectionism was selected in the relationship between parents' achievement pressure and college students' career preparation behavior. In order to verify the sequential mediating path between the perfectionism and the lack of tolerance for uncertainty, a research model was set up to verify the research problem. The subjects of the study were 345 college students, and data were collected through an online survey. Basic analysis was performed using SPSS to confirm the relationship between variables, and sequential mediation effects were confirmed using Amos' structural equation model.According to the analysis results, first, the higher the parental achievement pressure, the higher the perfectionism tendency, decreasing the perfectionism tendency, and the higher the lack of tolerance for uncertainty. Consequently, the higher the lack of tolerance for uncertainty, the higher the career preparation behavior of college students. Through the analysis, we confirmed that the path from parents' achievement pressure to college students' career preparation behavior through the sequential mediation of perfectionism and a lack of tolerance for uncertainty was statistically significant. Second, looking at the results pertaining to the direct and indirect effects of the research model, parents' achievement pressure plays a role in directly reducing the lack of patience for uncertainty, but indirectly reduces the lack of patience for uncertainty through the tendency for perfectionism. We can see that height plays a role. In addition, perfectionism tends to play a role in directly increasing college students' career preparation behavior, but we can also see that it indirectly lowers college students' career preparation behavior through a lack of tolerance for uncertainty. On the other hand, we saw that that parents' achievement pressure did not have a significant direct or indirect effect on college students' career preparation behavior, and that there was a sequential relationship between a tendency for perfectionism and a lack of tolerance for uncertainty between parents' achievement pressure and college students' career preparation behavior. We confirmed that there was a full mediation effect. Based on the results derived from this study, the significance of the study and implications in actual educational settings were discussed.

Effects of Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy, Career Outcome Expectation, and Career Consciousness Maturity on Career Preparation Behavior of Nursing Students

Although career preparation is an important factor in making correct career decisions and increasing job satisfaction, nursing students lack consideration and preparation for their career path when choosing a major. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationships among career decision-making self-efficacy, career outcome expectation, and career consciousness maturity on the behavior of nursing students in preparing for their careers. We collected data using structured questionnaires from 95 nursing students in C city from June 1 to June 20, 2018. We analyzed the data using the IBM SPSS/WIN 23.0 program for descriptive statistics, independent t test, oneway ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. As a result, the factors influencing the career preparation behavior of nursing students were career decision self-efficacy (β = .35, p < .001) and career consciousness maturity (β = .30, p = .003), and the explanatory power of these variables was 37%. Based on these results, it was required to develop programs to strengthen career decision-making self-efficacy and career consciousness maturity. In order to improve career decision-making self-efficacy, a program should be developed to improve confidence in solving problems by providing career opportunities. In addition, in order to strengthen career consciousness maturity, a career road map for each grade should be constructed, as well as systematic career counseling and employment capacity enhancement programs.

Effects of Multidimensional Perfectionism and Career Preparation Behavior According to Gender of College Students on Career Decision Level

This study examines the impact of college students' multidimensional perfectionism on their career decision level through career preparation behavior. In particular, the purpose of this study was to identify the functions of college students' perfectionism tendencies, such as self-oriented perfectionism, other-oriented perfectionism, and socially imposed perfectionism, to determine what effect they have on career preparation behavior and career decision level. Based on previous research, career preparation behavior was selected as a mediating factor that affects the relationship between college students' multidimensional perfectionism tendency and career decision level to verify the research problem. The subjects of the study were 433 college students, and data were collected through an online survey. Basic analysis was performed using SPSS to confirm the relationship between variables, and mediation effects were verified using Process macro. Looking at the analysis results, first, based on the impact of multidimensional perfectionism on career preparation behavior, we confirmed that socially imposed perfectionism had a positive influence on male students, and self-oriented perfectionism had a positive effect on female students. When looking at the influence of multidimensional perfectionism on the level of career decision-making, we can see that self-oriented perfectionism had a positive influence and socially imposed perfectionism had a negative influence for both male and female students. Second, looking at the mediating effect of career preparation behavior between college students' multidimensional perfectionism tendency and career decision level, we confirmed that self-oriented perfectionism had a negative mediating effect only for male students, and other-oriented perfectionism was found to have a negative mediating effect only for male students as well. Also, this study confirmed that socially imposed perfectionism was effective, but that it had a positive mediating effect only for female students. Based on the results of this study, which showed that the multidimensional perfectionism tendencies (self-orientation, other-orientation, and social imposition) according to gender of college students have different effects on the level of career decision-making through career preparation behavior, implications and suggestions for follow-up research were discussed.

자아분화가 대학생활적응에 미치는 영향

Objectives This study sought to test the moderated mediating effect by examining whether career decision-making level (CDM) plays a mediating role in the effect of self-differentiation on adjustment to college Life and whether career preparation behavior(CPB) plays a controlling role in the relationship between self-differentiation and CDM.
 Methods In order to do so, a questionnaire was distributed to male and female college students nationwide through an online survey company. A total of 351 questionnaires were analyzed and the collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 and Process Macro v4.1. First, we investigated whether CDM plays a mediating role in the relationship between college students' self-differentiation and adjustment to college Life. Next, we investigated whether CPB plays a moderating role among the three variables. Finally, the moderated mediating effect of CDM through CPB was tested.
 Results The results showed that self-differentiation, CDM, CPB, and adjustment to college Life were all positively correlated. However, the relationship between self-differentiation and CPB was not statistically significant. Self-differentiation was found to have a positive effect on adjustment to college Life through CDM, and the effect was significant even after controlling for the mediating variable. CPB was found to be a moderating factor in the relationship between self-differentiation and CDM. Finally, the interaction between self-differentiation and CPB was found to have a significant effect on CDM, and CDM was found to have a significant effect on adjustment to college Life.
 Conclusions Based on the results of this study, the implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are presented.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of ocuupational value in the relationship between University students motivation for choosing a major and career preparation behavior. To this end, a survey was conducted on 337 university students in the first, second, and third grades of the university, of which 264 valid questionnaires were used for the study. The data collected through the survey were statistically analyzed using the IBM SPSS 26.0 program, and mediated regression analysis was performed using Hayes' process macro model 4 to verify the research hypothesis. As a result, first, it was confirmed that the motivation for selecting a major had a significant positive (+) effect on ocuupational values. Second, the total effect of major selection motivation on career preparation behavior was confirmed without considering ocuupational value, and as a result, major selection motivation had a positive (+) effect on career preparation behavior. Third, the mediating effect according to the sub-factors of ocuupational value was confirmed in the effect of major selection motivation on career preparation behavior. To this end, the effect of major selection motivation and job value on career preparation behavior was confirmed by inputting both major selection motivation and job value, and as a result, it was found that major selection motivation had a positive (+) effect on career preparation behavior, but job value did not. In other words, as a result of bootstrap verification to verify the mediating effect of ocuupational value, it was found that ocuupational value did not mediate the effect of major selection motivation on career preparation behavior. However, as a result of verifying the mediating effect of the sub-factors of job value, it was found that intrinsic ocuupational value (attitude, achievement, ability) mediates the influence of intrinsic motivation (attitude, interest, talent, and future) on career preparation behavior. This indicated that intrinsic ocuupational value can make specific career decisions and active career preparation actions by improving career search activities. As a result of this study, it was found that when intrinsic ocuupational value are satisfied, the motivation for choosing a major leads to career preparation behavior more. Therefore, people in charge of the university field need to diversify the direction of career education and support according to the students' personal characteristics and motivation for choosing a major. Therefore, it is expected that this study will be used as basic data for counseling and education that can establish ocuupational value and increase career confidence for students' active career preparation behavior from the lower grades of university.
