Abstract

This study analyzed the direct and indirect effects of job competency education on job goal setting, job preparation behavior and first job satisfaction from the perspective that successful employment requires improving the job ability needed for college students. Data on 5,044 students were analyzed based on the 2013GOMS of Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey(GOMS). The study findings are summarized as follows. First, job competency education not only acted positively on job goal setting but also contributed to promoting job preparation behavior. Second, job preparation behavior contributed to improving satisfaction with the first job. Third, indirect effects of job competency education and job goal setting in first job satisfaction. In conclusion, job competencies enhances the possibility that college students may obtain their wanted job by setting a clear goal for their job and having a positive effect on the required behavior. Accordingly, college student should try to reinforce their special capability to accomplish the given job as career professionals in consideration of their aptitude rather than devoting themselves to reinforcing their basic capability such as linguistic ability. For this purpose, both universities and the government should develop educational programs for college students to grasp their aptitude and cultivate their special ability to become career professionals and provide a foundation for them to become talented professionals armed with special capability by proving support for job ability improvement.

본 연구는 대학생들이 기업에 필요한 직무능력을 향상시키는 것이 성공적인 취업을 위해 매우 중요하다는 관점에서 직무능력향상교육이 진로목표설정, 진로준비행동 및 직장만족도에 미치는 직 간접적인 영향력을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 대졸자직업이동경로조사(Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey: GOMS)의 2013GOMS를 바탕으로 5,044명의 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 직무능력향상교육은 진로목표설정에 긍정적으로 작용할 뿐만 아니라 진로준비행동을 촉진하는 요인임을 확인하였다. 둘째, 진로준비행동은 첫직장 만족도 향상에 기여한다는 것을 다시 한 번 확인하였다. 셋째, 직무능력향상교육과 진로목표설정은 진로준비행동을 통하여 간접적으로 직장만족도를 향상에 기여한다는 것을 규명하였다. 결론적으로 직무능력향상은 자신의 진로에 대하여 명확한 목표를 설정하고 이를 위한 행동에 긍정적인 영향을 줌으로써 자신이 희망하는 일자리 획득의 가능성을 높여준다는 것을 규명하고 있다. 따라서 대학생들은 자신의 적성을 고려하여 직무능력향상에 노력해야하며, 이를 위해 대학교와 정부에서는 대학생들이 자신의 적성을 조기에 파악하여 이에 부합되는 직무능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 기회를 제공하기 위한 체계적인 교육프로그램을 개발이 필요하다.
