초록

This study aims to classify the types of career barriers among university students and analyze the factors influencing their career preparation behavior. To achieve this, data from the 4th wave (2020) of the second Korean Education and Employment Panel (KEEPⅡ) were utilized, targeting a total of 561 participants for empirical analysis. The key findings are as follows. First, career barriers among university students were categorized into three groups: low-barrier awareness group, medium-barrier awareness group, and high-barrier awareness group. Second, factors explaining the differences between these groups included parental education level, career decision-making self-efficacy, resilience, social support, high school type, academic major, learning strategies, and participation in extracurricular activities. Third, the results of the mixed regression analysis revealed that the medium-barrier awareness group exhibited more active career preparation behavior compared to the high-barrier awareness group, while no significant difference was observed with the low-barrier awareness group. Analysis of control variables showed that career decision-making self-efficacy, social support, high school type, and university type significantly influenced career preparation behavior. Based on these findings, strategies to enhance career preparation behavior among university students are discussed.
