Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of motivation of the employment in Korea with gender, nationality, motivation of studying in Korea, major satisfaction and Korean proficiency level of foreign students who are studying in Korea. The second purpose is to analyze the current factors, to leverage educational management and to make and support some policy of Minister of Education for international students in order to promote utilization of employment of the students in Korea during 4 years of studying. This paper is used by IBM SPSS Statistics 24 Version for data analysis. As a result of the analysis, the average of students in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and South and North America Africa was higher than Japan and China in terms of motivation of employment in Korea. First, the external motivation to study in Korea has affected TOPIK with positive influence. Second, in the relationship between motivation to study in Korea and the majors satisfaction, the higher the internal motivation of study, the higher the majors' satisfaction level. Third, in the relationship between motivation to study in Korea and motivation of the employment in Korea, internal motivation to study has a positive effect on motivation of the employment. As internal motivation increases, grade of the motivation of the employment increases. Fourth, the relationship between major satisfaction and employment showed positive (+) effect. In other words, the higher the major satisfaction, the higher the motivation of the employment. Fifth, TOPIK has a negative effect on motivation of the employment. It means that external motivation was the main factor that positively influenced TOPIK and internal motivation was also main factors that positively influenced both major satisfaction and motivation of the employment in Korea. Sixth, when the internal motivation has an effect on motivation of Korea employment, the higher the major satisfaction as the parameter, the higher the motivation of Korea employment. Therefore, it will be helpful to understand the meaning of studying motivation and major satisfaction of international students, and to be used as basic data on education policies of universities and governments supporting the career and employment for international students.

본 논문은 한국으로 유학 온 외국인 학생들의 성별, 국가별 및 전공 등 개인 특성과 유학동기, 전공 만족도, 한국어 능력 등급이 취업 동기에 미치는 영향을 분석한 연구이다. 이를 위해 먼저 유학생들의 취업동기와 진로선택에 관여되는 영향을 보다 체계적으로 이해하기 위해서 요인들의 현황을 분석하고, 유학생활 4년과 졸업 후 국내 인재 활용을 촉진하기 위해, 학교나 정부의 유학생 전공과 취업 및 창업을 위한 교육 관리, 정책 지원 사항을 위한 요인분석 기초 자료 활용이 논문의 목적이다. 자료 분석 방법을 위해 IBM SPSS Statistics 24 Version을 이용하였다. 분석 결과, 취업동기에서는 일본, 중국 보다 동남아시아, 중앙아시아, 남북미 아프리카의 학생들의 평균이 높았다. 변수들 간의 결과를 보면 첫째, 유학동기와 TOPIK 간의 영향 관계는 외적 유학동기가 한국어 습득의 정(+)의 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 유학동기와 전공만족도 관계에서는 유학의 내적동기가 높아질수록 전공만족도 등급이 높아지는 것으로 평가 되었다. 셋째, 유학동기와 취업동기의 관계에서는 내적 유학동기가 취업동기에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데 즉 내적동기가 높아질수록 취업동기 등급이 높아지는 것으로 평가 되었다. 넷째, 전공만족도와 취업동기간의 관계를 보면 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 관계 전공만족도가 높아질수록 취업 동기는 높아지는 것으로 평가 되었다. 다섯째, TOPIK은 취업동기에 유의한 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 유학 내적 동기가 취업 동기에 영향을 미칠 때 매개변수인 전공 만족도가 높아질수록 취업 동기도 높아지는 것으로 나왔다. 결국 외적 유학동기가 TOPIK에 내적 유학동기가 전공만족도와 취업 동기에 긍정적 영향을 주는 주된 요인임을 확인하였다. 따라서 유학생들의 유학 동기와 전공만족에 관한 관계를 정확히 파악하여, 유학 초기부터 유학생을 위한 진로와 취업을 지원하는 대학과 정부의 교육 정책 방안 및 유학생 인재 육성에 관한 변인 자료로 활용되는데 기여할 것이다.
