초록

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that social capital influences individual happiness mediated by positive self-concept. To do this, we use KEEP(Korean Education and Employment Panel) data which was provided by KRIVET(Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education & Training) in 2014 and utilized SEM(Structural Equation Model) to prove the mediation effect. In this paper, social capital is composed of participation, trust on generalized people, trust on various groups, and feeling safety. The analalysis result shows that social capital has direct effects on both positive self-concept and individual happiness. Positive self-concept partially mediated the relationship between social capital and individual happiness. Based on the result, we discuss implications and future research idea.
