Study on the Relationship between Major Satisfaction, Career Resilience and Career Decision-Making Level

Background/Objectives: The study was intended to provide basic data on the career decisions-making level of students in optometry. The degree of major satisfaction, career resilience, and career decision-making level of the students of the optics department were identified, and their correlation was investigated.

Methods/Statistical Analysis: The study included a total of 146 students, 64 boys (43.8 %) and 82 girls (56.2 %), all of which analyzed statistical differences through verification of various methods using the SPSS ver 18.0 statistics program.

Findings: The general characteristics of the subjects were 64 male students (43.8 %) and 82 female students (56.2 %), 58 first graders (39.7 %), 34 second graders (23.3 %), 31 third graders (21.2 %), and 23 fourth graders (15.8 %). Religion was composed of 49 Christians (33.6 %), Catholics (8.5 %), Buddhists (2.4 %), and No religion (79.6 %). The degree of major satisfaction was 3.20, career resilience was 3.37, and the level of career decision-making level was 3.12. The correlation between the three variables has shown that all three variables have significant correlations.

Improvements/Applications: To this end, it is deemed necessary to create an appropriate environment for students to show their visions of their majors and to encourage them to develop and participate in programs that can help them decide on their career paths through efforts.
