다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research is to find out the characteristics of career attitude & maturity on each stage, providing basic concept in building up the career counseling program. Toward this end, 2,007 students in junior and senior high schools, colleges and universities were collected and this survey was carried out at school. The result of the survey showed there are clear differences in career development in accordance with age. The older groups defintely show their confidence and decisiveness in career, and the strong goal-oriented attitude toward job and career is much more clearly shown than from the senior highschool groups. The occupational information has divided the whole into two group; one is junior high schoolers and the other is senior high and university students. The career decision self-efficacy had its strong lead in the older groups, and got stronger since they entered universities. The stepwise multiple regression analysis was taken to measure how far career decision self-efficacy would be involved in career development. The analysis has told us that career decision self-efficacy is turned out to be a more important variable to girls(45-50%) than boys(13-42%), and 55% of them regarded goal selection as the most critical variable of all. According to the analysis, self-regulation is the most significant variable to both boys and girls to measure up career decision self-efficacy. This self-regulation is a kind of efficacy which leads to goal setting and self-response based on self-judgement. Confidence on the career decision is not so much to do with general sense of self-confidence or confidence on his or her academic achievement as self-regulation to control his or her own system, which can be named as 'self-efficacy' in a more positive way.

본 연구는 개인의 진로결정효능감 신념이 진로 태도 성숙에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 서울과 수도권 소재 일반 인문계 중‧고등학생과 대학생 남녀로 남녀 비율과 중‧고등‧대학생이 비교적 고르게 분포하도록 하여 총 2,007명이었다. 그 결과 진로결정효능감은 학년이 올라가면서 증가하였으며, 특히 대학이후 진로결정효능감이 많이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 진로결정효능감요인 중 목표선택과 관련된 효능감이 진로태도성숙을 예언하는 가장 강력한 변수였으며, 진로결정효능감은 남녀 모두 자기조절효능감과 관련된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 진로문제에서는 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 ‘자신감’보다는 ‘효능감’이라는 용어의 사용이 보다 적절한 것으로 보인다. 여성의 경우 진로결정효능감 형성에 자기조절효능감 이외에 학업자신감과 학업 자기조절효능감이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 진로결정과 학업성취 수준이 관련되어 있을 가능성을 시사하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
