본 연구에서는 당면한 취업 문제를 해결하기 위한 취업 준비행동에 연구의 초점을 두고 진로장벽 및 직업탐색 자기효능감과 같은 개인의 심리적 특성과 취업 준비행동과의 관계를 살펴보고자 한다. 또한 진로 관련 비서학 선행연구에서 다루지 않았던 진로장벽의 하위요인이 취업 준비행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 이러한 과정에서 직업탐색 자기효능감의 조절효과를 분석하여 비서학 전공 전문대학생들의 취업 상담에 유용한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구를 검증하기 위해 수도권 3개 대학에 재학 중인 2학년 비서학 전공 전문대학생을 대상으로 144부의 설문지를 수집하였고 SPSS 12.0 for Windows를 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 진로장벽 하위요인 중에서 자기명확성 부족, 경제적 어려움, 직업정보 부족, 미래불안 요인이 예비적 취업준비행동과 본격적 취업준비행동에 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 자기명확성 진로장벽과 미래불안 진로장벽은 취업준비행동에 부(-)적으로 영향을 주고 있어 취업 준비행동에 방해요인이지만 경제적 어려움 진로장벽과 직업정보 부족 진로장벽은 취업준비행동에 정(+)적으로 영향을 미치고 있어 취업 준비행동에 촉진요인으로 작용하고 있음을 보여준다. 셋째, 직업탐색 자기효능감이 상위인 집단과 하위인 집단 간에 예비적 취업준비행동과 본격적 취업준비행동에 차이가 나는지를 분석한 결과 직업탐색 자기효능감의 높고 낮음에 따른 차이는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 진로장벽과 취업준비행동의 관계에서 직업탐색 자기효능감은 조절 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

This principal objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the career barrier and employment preparation behavior of college students who major in secretarial science. Based on the results of studies related to college students' career barriers as a independence variable and to job search self-esteem as a parameter, the influence of these factors on college students' employment preparation behavior are analyzed. To achieve the objective of this research, data was collected from convenient samples of 144 college students majoring in secretarial science in Seoul and Kyunggido. All data analysis was carried out using the SPSS 12.0 statistics package. The results are as follows: first, the career barriers of college students majoring in secretarial science exerted a partial effect on the employment preparation behavior. Second, personality barriers and anxiety regarding the future environment negatively affect employment preparation behavior. Financial hardship and lack of career information positively affect employment preparation behavior. Third, groups with high job search self-esteem had relatively high levels of employment preparation behavior. Fourth, job search self-esteem was found to mediate the relationship between career barriers and employment preparation behavior. These results can help job consulting practitioners understand the entire set of developmental features and formulate new counselling services, taking into consideration the significant differences in employment preparation behavior according to psychological differences.
