Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationships between career stress, career adaptability, and career indecision of female university students. The participants were 184 female students in A university. They responded surveys regarding career stress, career adaptability, and career indecision. Research results were as follows. First, career stress predicted career indecision. Second, career adaptability mediated the relationship between career stress and career indecision. This result examined that career stress is an important factor which predicts career indecision. In addition, career adaptability could help to increase between career stress and career indecision by mediation effect. These findings of this research provide useful information for designing and implementing career education program.

본 연구는 여대생의 진로스트레스와 진로미결정의 관계를 규명하고, 진로적응성의 매개효과를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 진로결정을 앞두고 있는 A대학교 4학년 여학생 184명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 진로스트레스는 진로미결정을 유의미하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 진로스트레스와 진로미결정의 관계에서 진로적응성은 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 여대생의 진로스트레스가 진로미결정을 예측하는 요인임을 확인할 수 있었고, 진로적응성이 진로스트레스와 진로미결정간의 관계를 높이는 요인임을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 여대생의 진로미결정을 줄이기 위해서 진로스트레스와 진로적응성을 고려한 전략이 필요함을 시사하며, 대학차원의 진로교육 및 진로교육 프로그램 개발에 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
