Moderated mediating effect of appearance satisfaction on the relationship between academic major satisfaction, self-esteem, and employment stress by airline service major students

Introduction. Airline service major students choose their academic major to be flight attendants after graduating from secondary education. They are therefore likely to be satisfied with the airline service major, as students can learn qualified airline service-related knowledge and skills. However, they also have higher employment stress than students majoring in other majors. This is because physical appearance is an important aspect of the job interview. It is therefore necessary to study academic major satisfaction, self-esteem, and appearance satisfaction to reduce employment stress among airline service major students. Methods. The participants in this study were 339 airline service major students from four universities. Data were collected from freshmen (31%), sophomore (14.7%), junior (28%), and senior (26.3%) students majoring in airline service. This study used SPSS Win.21.0 statistics programs to conduct the frequency test, reliability and correlation tests. For the moderated mediation analysis, ‘Model 14 of PROCESS macro ver.4.0’ was used as the statistical method. Results. First, employment stress had negative correlations with both academic major satisfaction (r = -.326, p<.01) and self-esteem (r = -.401, p<.01), while academic major satisfaction had a positive correlation with self-esteem (r = .433, p < .01). Second, appearance satisfaction was found to have conditional indirect effects on the relationship between academic major satisfaction and employment stress through self-esteem that were significant (p < .01) when the appearance satisfaction values were 4.0 (-.2218~-.0776) and 5.0 (-.3775~-.1505), respectively. Therefore, the moderated mediation effect of resilience was verified. Conclusions. This study found that airline service major students with high appearance satisfaction have decreased employment stress. The results of this study indicate that students’ appearance satisfaction should be fostered and reinforced with the goal of increasing improving airline service major students’ self-esteem and decreasing their employment stress.

간호대학생의 전공만족도와 대학생활 적응의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과

The study was conducted to identify the effect of social support in the relations between major satisfaction and college adjustment among nursing students.
 The subjects of this study were 100 sophomore nursing students from two universities located in D and G cities. The data collection period is from March 10, 2022 to March 30, 2022, and was conducted through a self-administered questionnaire.
 The research model was designed on the basis of PROCESS Macro Model 4 proposed by Hayes (2013). The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 24.0, PROCESS Macro ver. 3.5 program.
 The mean score for major satisfaction, college adjustment and social support perceived by nursing students were 3.98, 3.45, and 4.00 points out of 5, respectively. Major satisfaction, college adjustment and social support had strong correlations with each other (p<.001). The difference in adaptation to college life is when the major is chosen by oneself (t=3.41, p=.001), when the motive for selecting a major matches one's aptitude (F=5.73, p=.004), and when satisfaction with college life (F=14.01, p<.001) was significantly high. To confirm the effects on social support, the covariate was adjusted for major selector, aptitude in major selection motive, and college life satisfaction. Major satisfaction had a direct effect on college adjustment (β = .574) and social support (β = .625). Social support had a direct effect on college adjustment (β = .241). There was a mediation effect of social support between major satisfaction and college adjustment (β = .619).
 Based on the results of this study, it was confirmed that nursing students' major satisfaction affects their adaptation to college life using social support as a mediating variable. Therefore, by identifying the sub-factors of social support that can increase the satisfaction of nursing students who will become future nurses, we propose the development of specific emotional, evaluative, informational, and physical intervention programs in nursing education and research to verify their effectiveness.
