대학교과과정에서 이미지메이킹 프로그램의 만족도에 관한 연구

Abstract

Recently, employment of college graduates has emerged as a serious social issue. There may be a variety of reasons behind this problem. Ironically, however, some firms experience a shortfall in competent employees as well as difficulties with procuring proper employees. A Firm demands from its members three kinds of capabilities of interpersonal relationship, problem solving and job performance. Beginning workers are required to be equipped with capabilities of smooth interpersonal relationships inside and outside their work places. Otherwise, the fledgling workers will have difficulties with exercising the other two capabilities. In this connection, it becomes very important that college students, prospective workers, develop capabilities of interpersonal relationships. Such capabilities may be improved through the image making program. Through participation in the program, collegians may cultivate their sensory ability to handle situations properly as well as enhance their self-confidence. As of February, 2007, curriculum related to image making are offered in 200 departments of 150 colleges in Korea, but very few studied have been conducted in this field. Although some studies applied image programs on adults or employed, no study has ever been conducted on the programs for college students. Therefore, based on some theoretical review, this study analyzed empirically students' level of satisfaction with the image making programs and survey was taken on the students majoring in tourism related subjects in Busan. Findings show that students were highly satisfied with the programs. This study is significant in that it provide basic information for the image making program to position itself as a necessary course of the curriculum and become a more efficient one for college students.
