대학생의 진로결정 자기효능감과 자아탄력성이 진로결정수준에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The college days are important because students should decide on their future job and career through exploration of their aptitude and potential, which means that they should decide on the direction and quality of their future life. If the students should get into their job world after graduation with their future career not determined clearly, they might retire earlier despite they have succeeded in the fierce competition for their jobs in the labor market. Hence, many colleges endeavor to assist their students in exploring and deciding on their future career. Many preceding studies have researched into the psycho-social variables regarding college students' career decisions. The important variables among them seem to be students' perceived self-efficacy and ego-resilience; the former variable means the confidence in the themselves regarding the successful performance of various tasks given to them, while the latter variable means the competence of coping with the stress caused in the process of planning and choosing the future career. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlations between college students' perceived self-efficacy & ego-resilience and their career decision level, and thereupon, examine the effects of their perceived self-efficacy and ego-resilience on their career decision level. For this purpose, students of 'K' college in 'B' city were sampled randomly to be subject to a questionnaire survey. A total of 390 questionnaire responses were used for the analysis. The data collected thus were processed for Pearson's Correlation Coefficients and phased multiple regression analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; First, as a result of analyzing the correlations between subjects' perceived self-efficacy & ego-resilience and their career decision level, significant positive correlations between them were found. Secondly, as a result of the phased regression analysis for the effects of subjects' perceived self-efficacy and ego-resilience on their career decision level, it was found that the variables affecting their career decision level were such components of self-efficacy as selection of the goal, future planning, problem-solving and such component of the ego-resilience as sociability. Lastly, it is conceived that in order to help improve our college students' career decision level, it would be deemed necessary to construct the system whereby some systematic and differentiated future career counselling services could be offered to the students, and to develop the programs thereof and increase the organizational efforts.

Key words: college students, self-efficacy, ego-resilience, career decision level
