Abstract

This study aimed to confirm the conditional effect of goal difficulty on the relationship between self-efficacy, career identity, and career commitment of workers in domestic companies. A survey targeting 500 employees of domestic companies was conducted to measure self-efficacy, career identity, career commitment, and goal difficulty. Data were analyzed using MPlus and SPSS PROCESS Macro. The results are as follows. First, self-efficacy was found to have a significant positive effect on career identity and career commitment. Additionally, career identity was found to have a significantly positive effect on career commitment. Second, the mediating effect of career identity on the relationship between self-efficacy and career commitment was significant and moderated by the level of goal difficulty. Based on the above research results, the academic and practical implications are presented.

본 연구에서는 국내 기업 근로자의 자기효능감, 경력정체성, 경력몰입의 관계에서 목표난이도에 따른 조건부 효과를 확인하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 국내 기업 근로자 500명을 대상으로 자기효능감, 경력정체성, 경력몰입, 목표난이도를 측정하기 위해 설문을 실시하였으며, Mplus와 SPSS PROCESS Macro를 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자기효능감이 경력정체성과 경력몰입에 정(+)적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 경력정체성이 경력몰입에 정(+)적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자기효능감과 경력몰입의 관계에서 경력정체성의 매개효과는 목표난이도의 수준에 따라 조절된 매개효과가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 학문적 및 실천적 시사점을 제시하였다
