Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how children's and parent's self-esteem relates to children's career maturity. Furthermore, this study explored how their influences would differ depending on gender. Data from 302 elementary school students in grades 4, 5, and 6 who participated in the 10th year survey (2015) were analyzed to verify structural relationships including multi-group path analysis by gender. Results were as follows: First, children's self-esteem (${\beta}=.519$, p<.001) statistically significant positive influences their career maturity as well as their father's (${\beta}=.247$, p<.01). However, mother's self-esteem (${\beta}=-.086$, p>.05) did not have a significant influence on their children's self-esteem. Second, the results of the multi-group path analysis showed that there was no gender differences among relationships. This study showed the importance of providing educational and counseling support to increase children's and father's self-esteem.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 고학년 자녀와 부모를 대상으로 하여 자녀의 자아존중감, 어머니와 아버지 각자의 자아존중감이 자녀의 진로성숙도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 확인하고, 자녀의 성별에 따라 자녀의 자아존중감과 부모의 자아존중감이 진로성숙도에 영향을 미치는 크기가 다른지 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국복지패널 10차(2015년) 자료의 302명을 분석대상으로 하였으며, 분석 방법으로 구조방정식 분석과 다집단 경로 분석을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 자녀의 자아존중감은 진로성숙도(${\beta}=.519$, p<.001)에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 아버지의 자아존중감은 자녀의 진로성숙도(${\beta}=.247$, p<.01)에 정적인 영향을 미치는 반면, 어머니의 자아존중감은 자녀와 아버지의 자아존중감의 영향력이 통제되었을 때 자녀의 진로성숙도(${\beta}=-.086$, p>.05)에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 다집단 경로분석 결과, 자녀의 성별에 따라 자녀의 자아존중감, 어머니와 아버지의 자아존중감이 진로성숙도에 미치는 영향력의 효과크기 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 초등학교 고학년 학생의 진로성숙도를 높이기 위해서는 자녀의 자아존중감뿐 아니라 아버지의 자아존중감을 높일 수 있는 교육 및 상담 지원 체계가 필요함을 시사한다.
