대학생의 진로정체감과 진로장벽이진로결정수준에 미치는 영향: 결과기대의 조절된 매개효과를 중심으로

Abstract

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among career identity, career barriers, career decision level and outcome expectation. For this, we examined the mediated effect of career barriers between career identity and career decision level. Also the study tested the moderated effect of outcome expectation among career identity, career barriers, and career decision level. 559 college students in Seoul and Keongki were examined using structural equation modeling. Results showed that career barriers partly mediated the relationship between career identity and career decision level. Furthermore, outcome expectation moderated the relation between career identity and career barriers, not between career identity and career decision level. These results showed that college students who expected the more positive outcome of their future perceived less career barriers and had high career decision level. It implies that career counselors need to consider not only perceived career barriers but also outcome expectation to increase the level of career decision. More implications and suggestions are discussed in the current study.
