Abstract
The present study has examined the individual difference variables(self-esteem, attribution style, ego-resiliency) which affect the job choice among female college students. Based on the response on the question `What kind of job do you want after graduation?`, participants of this study were divided into two groups: male-dominant occupation choice group and female-dominant occupation choice group. By the analysis of logistic regression it was shown that male-dominant occupation choice group had significantly higher level of self-esteem and the tendency of internal attribution(esp. effort). Furthermore, male-dominant occupation choice group showed significantly higher level of job search efficacy and job search behavior.
