The goal of this research is to examine the impact of employability awareness, occupation choice factors, and employment strategy on employment preparation behaviors among university students. For this, the research defines employability awareness and occupation choice factors as independent variables, employment strategy as a mediator variable, and employment preparation behaviors as a dependent variable in order to determine the relations between the variables.
A conceptual framework and a research model were established by reviewing theoretical backgrounds and previous studies related to employability awareness, occupation choice factors, employment strategy, and employment preparation behaviors.
Data was collected by conducting a survey in May 2017 of 450 university students residing in Daejeon, South Korea, who are preparing for employment. The subjects were selected through random sampling. Excluding 25 inappropriate responses, a total of 425 survey responses were subject to analysis.
The SPSS 23.0 program was used to conduct frequency analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, factor analysis, reliability test, and path analysis.
The findings of this research are as follows.
Regarding sociodemographic characteristics, first, there were differences in employability awareness, occupation choice factors, employment strategy, and employment preparation behaviors depending on gender, age, school year, major, desired career upon graduation, academic performance, familial support, and health.
Second, both employability awareness and occupation choice factors had significant impact on employment preparation behaviors.
Third, both employability awareness and occupation choice factors had significant impact on employment strategy.
Fourth, employment strategy significantly influenced occupation choice factors.
Fifth, this research identified factors affecting employability awareness, occupation choice factors, employment strategy, and employment preparation behaviors among university students.
Sixth, employment strategy had a mediation effect on employability awareness, occupation choice factors, and employment preparation behaviors.
Based on these findings, this paper makes the following suggestions.
First, universities need to devise measures to promote employability awareness among students and to create an employment support system reflecting the characteristics of school year, major subject, and gender.
Second, universities should make efforts to reduce students’ job anxiety by helping increase their employability awareness and to provide career counseling based on appropriate occupation choice factors. Students’ job anxiety can be reduced if universities support students’ employability through a range of job counseling programs.
Third, universities need to provide active support to students regarding their job search and employment preparation behaviors. Career support programs should be provided to students from entrance to graduation.
This research has attempted to explore ways to promote employability awareness among university students and to provide empirical data beneficial to career counseling and support at universities. Given the importance of career exploration among university students, it is suggested that the government establish short-term and longer-term plans to develop and support career opportunities for university students. As part of its human resource management, the government should establish policy and institutional measures in order to support university students in exploring various job opportunities based on aptitude and interest and making career choices.
