Abstract

This study attempted to determine the relationship between college students' motivation for major selection (personal motivation, social motivation), academic performance, and career maturity, and to identify the influencing factors of career maturity in order to provide basic data for improving career maturity. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 199 university students in C city. As a result of examining the correlation between personal motivation for major selection, social motivation, academic achievement, and career maturity, career maturity showed a significant positive correlation with personal motivation for major selection (r=.417, p=.00) and no significant correlation with social motivation for major selection and academic achievement. The influencing factors of career maturity were personal motivation for major selection, economic activity, and major department, and the explanatory power was 24%. Therefore, it seems that university-level support is needed to enable students to engage in economic activities in fields related to their majors. Since personal motivation is important in major selection, we should focus on increasing personal motivation for major selection by providing high school students with a wide range of opportunities, such as career experience and future work experience.

이 연구는 대학생의 전공선택 동기(개인적 동기, 사회적 동기), 학업성취도, 진로성숙도의 상관관계를 파악하고 진로성숙도의 영향요인을 확인하여 진로성숙도 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시도되었다. C도 소재 대학생 199명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료 수집하였다. 전공선택 개인적동기 사회적동기, 학업성취도와 진로성숙도의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 진로성숙도는 전공선택 개인적동기(r=.417, p=.00)와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈으며 전공선택 사회적동기, 학업성취도와는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 진로성숙도의 영향요인은 전공선택 개인적 동기, 경제활동, 전공계열 순이었으며 설명력은 24%이었다. 따라서 전공과 관련있는 분야에서 경제활동을 할 수 있도록 대학차원의 지원이 필요 할 것으로 보여지며 전공선택시 개인적동기가 중요한 만큼 고등학생을 대상으로 한 진로체험이나 미래 직장체험등의 기회를 폭넓게 제공하여 전공선택시 개인적 동기를 높이는데 주력해야 할 것이다.
