Abstract

This study uses data from the Korea Employment Education Panel II(5th wave) to analyze the impact of university facilities on overall satisfaction with university life, mediated by pride in the university and department, using structural equation modeling. The research sample consisted of 1,268 students selected from an initial pool of 8,106 participants, who were either enrolled in or on a leave of absence from a four-year or higher educational institution at the time of the survey, with no missing data on the observed variables. The findings indicate that higher satisfaction with university facilities is associated with increased levels of pride in both the university and the department, as well as greater satisfaction with university life. Additionally, higher levels of pride in the university and department are positively correlated with higher satisfaction with university life. Based on these results, practical and strategic recommendations are proposed for school administrators to enhance students' experiences and improve overall student satisfaction.

본 연구는 한국교육고용패널조사II(5차년도) 자료를 활용하여 대학 시설이 대학과 학과 자부심을 매개로 하여 대학 생활 만족도에 미치는 영향을 구조방정식으로 분석하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 한국교육고용패널조사II의 8,106명에서 조사 당시 학력이 4년제 이상 대학교에 재학 중이거나 휴학 중이면서 관찰 변수의 결측치가 없는 1,268명을 최종 연구 대상으로 하였다. 연구 결과 대학 시설 만족도의 정도가 높을수록 대학과 학과 자부심의 정도와 대학 생활 만족도의 정도가 높게 나타났고 대학과 학과 자부심의 정도가 높을수록 대학 생활 만족도의 정도가 높게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과를 기반으로 하여 학교 관리자들에게 학생들의 경험을 개선하고 학생 만족도를 높이기 위한 실질적인 전략적 방안을 제안한다.
