[PURPOSE] The purpose of this study was to examine differences in career decision-making self-efficacy and career exploration behavior by sports career of student boxers. [METHODS] 89 student boxers who participated in 95th National Sports Festival were responded to two questionnaires, Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale(CDMSE) and Career Exploration Behavior(CEB). [RESULTS] Significant differences in CDMSE and CEB by sports career of student boxers were as follows: (1) The group with higher career (GHC) had a higher level in CDMSE than the group with lower career (GLC). (2) The GHC was more active in CEB than the GLC. (3) Compared with the group with none performance career, the group with high performance career had a higher level not only in CDMSE, but also CEB. (4) In order to promote career development and transition, career counseling must be served to athletes in an early stage of their sports career. [CONCLUSIONS] Judging from the results, CDMSE and CEB of the student boxers seem to be not good enough for the career development and transition. Like cases of foreign countries, we also must establish a support system which can give athletes an opportunity for career counseling from his early years.
