여대생이 지각한 진로스트레스와 진로통찰력이 진로준비행동에 미치는 영향: 진로탄력성의 조절효과

This study investigated whether career insight mediated the relationship between perceived career stress and career preparation behaviors among female college students. In addition, the present study examined whether career resilience plays a mediating role between career stress and career insight. Using SPSS Macro, moderated mediation analyses were conducted. Data were collected from a survey of 270 female college students in Korea. The results of the current study are as follows: First, career insight mediated the perceived career stress and career preparation behaviors. Second, career resilience moderated the relationship between career stress and career insight. For female college students with higher levels of career resilience, great career stress significantly weakened career insight, which was not the case of those with lower levels of career resilience. Third, the interaction of career stress and career resilience had significant impact on career preparation behaviors through career insight, which indicated the moderated mediation effect of career insight through career resilience. Based on the present findings, limitations of this study as well as implications for future studies and counseling practices were discussed.
