초록

The purposes of this study are to verify whether the social capital in the multicultural family children and non-multicultural family children influence their career maturity though self efficacy and subjective well-being. In addition‚ this study explores the differences between multicultural family children and non-multicultural family children through a multigroup analysis. The study participants include 889 elelementary school children (4th - 6th graders) from multicultural or non-multicultural family backgrounds in Seoul‚ Gyeonggi-do‚ and Incheon. The analysis results are summarized below. First‚ the social capital in the multicultural family children and non-multicultural family children had a direct positive effect on their career maturity through self efficacy and subjective well-being. Second‚ differences of structural models between the two children groups are shown statistically significant in three paths; the path between the social capital and career maturity; the path between subjective well-being and career maturity; and the path between gender and career maturity. The social capital in the family of multicultural family children had a direct impact on the career maturity, according to the verification of the differences through multigroup analysis. In that process, self efficacy partially acted as a mediating element. However, since the subjective well-being had no impact on the career maturity, its mediating effect was not verified. Based on the results‚ policy and practice implications are discussed.
