Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of career adaptability in the relationship between strengths knowledge and occupational engagement for nursing students. The participants of this study were 284 nursing students in three Universities in G City, J Province. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis. Also mediation analysis was performed according to the Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test. The career adaptability showed a partial mediating effect between the strengths knowledge and the occupational engagement(Z=6.66, p<.001). The positive the strengths knowledge(β=.24, p<.001), the higher the career adaptability(β=.49, p<.001), the higher the occupational engagement level, and the explanatory power to explain occupational engagement was 47%. In order to increase the level of career engagement of nursing students, specific behavioral strategies for fostering career adaptability as well as cognitive guidance strategies that enable individuals to recognize their strengths in career-related education and counseling are needed.

본 연구는 간호대학생을 대상으로 강점인식과 진로관여행동과의 관계에서 진로적응성의 매개효과를 확인하고자 수행되었다. 연구대상은 G광역시와 J도에 소재한 대학교 3곳의 간호대학생 284명을 대상으로 하였다. 자료는 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson 상관분석 및 Baron과 Kenny의 3단계 매개 회귀분석을 이용하였고, Sobel test로 검증하였다. 강점인식과 진로관여행동사이에서 진로적응성은 부분매개효과를 나타냈으며(Z=6.66, p<.001), 강점인식 수준이 높을수록(β=.24, p<.001), 진로적응성이 높을수록(β=.49, p<.001), 진로관여행동 수준이 높아지며, 진로관여행동을 설명하는 설명력은 47%이었다. 간호대학생의 진로관여행동 수준의 향상을 위해서는 진로적응력 함양을 위한 구체적인 행동전략과 더불어 진로교육 및 상담을 통해 개인의 강점을 인지할 수 있는 지도전략이 필요하다.
