청년구직자의 진로준비행동과 진로적응성의 관계에서 자아탄력성의 매개효과 = Mediating Effects of Ego-resilience on the Relationship between Career Preparation Behavior and Career Adaptability in young job-seekers

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of the ego-resilience of job-seeking young people on the relationship between their career preparation behavior and career adaptability.
It's specifically meant to investigate the relationship among the career preparation behavior, career adaptability and ego-resilience of young job seekers and whether their ego-resilience would produce any mediating effects when career preparation behavior affected career adaptability.
The subjects in this study were 500 selected job-seeking young adults in the cities of Busan and Ulsan. A career preparation behavior test, a career adaptability test and an ego-resilience test were carried out. After a survey was conducted, the answer sheets from 486 respondents were analyzed except for the ones that were incomplete or included unfaithful answers. A statistical package SPSS 20.0 was employed to make Pearson correlation analysis to look for connections among the major variables, and a three-stage regression analysis was made to test the significance of the indirect effect and mediating effect.
The major findings of the study were as follows;
First, there was s significant positive correlation between career preparation behavior and career adaptability, between career preparation behavior and ego-resilience and between career adaptability and ego- resilience.
Second, whether ego-resilience had any mediating effect on the relationship between career preparation behavior and career adaptability was analyzed. As a result, the variables were significantly correlated. Career preparation behavior exerted a direct influence on career adaptability, and the former had an indirect effect on the latter through ego-resilience at the same time. Thus, ego-resilience produced a partial mediating effect.
The findings of the study that better ego-resilience led to better career adaptability in the young job seekers suggest the necessity of intervention geared toward boosting ego-resilience. Therefore the kind of career counseling that considers ego-resilience as a major variable and focuses on personality traits should be provided for young job seekers to make a more rational career exploration, to be better ready for their future job and ultimately to adapt themselves better to it.
Limitations to the current study and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Keywords: job-seeking young people, career preparation behavior, career adaptability, ego-resilience.
