Career Preparation Behavior, Career Decision Level, and Career Satisfaction of Korean College Students

This study examined the mediating role of career decision level on the relationship between career preparation behavior and career satisfaction of South Korean college students. Data from 454 South Korean college students indicated that career preparation behavior positively correlated with career satisfaction, and two sub-type of career decision levels, decidedness and comfort, positively correlated with career satisfaction. The results also indicated decidedness and comfort partially mediate the association between career preparation behavior and career satisfaction. We provided the implications and limitations of the findings.
