The Examination of Path Model Among Neuroticism, State Anxiety, Self-efficacy, and Career Exploration Behavior：Based on the Regulatory Focus Theory

본 연구는 조절초점이론(Regulatory focus theory)에 근거하여 부정적인 기능만이 강조되어 온 신경증이 특정 맥락 하에서의 진로탐색행동 촉진여부를 탐색하고자 하였다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구는 진로탐색행동과 관련하여 지각된 불안은 신경증이 높은 개인에게 적합한 동기적 단서를 제공함으로써 수행을 향상시키지만, 성공적인 수행에 대한 기대감인 자기효능감은 이에 상응하지 않을 것이란 가정 하에 설정한 경로모형의 적합성을 검증하였다. 이를 위하여 서울 소재 4년제 대학생 223명(남학생 93명, 여학생 130명)을 대상으로 신경증척도, 진로탐색자기효능감척도, 상태불안척도, 진로탐색행동척도, 조절초점전략척도가 포함된 설문을 실시하였다. 그리고 상황적 맥락에 따라 참가자들을 구분하기 위하여 긍정적인 역할모델 지시문 또는 부정적인 역할모델 지시문이 포함된 두 종류의 설문에 참가자들을 무선 할당하였다. 연구결과 본 연구의 경로모형은 적합한 것으로 나타났으며, 진로탐색행동관련불안은 정적으로, 진로탐색자기효능감은 부적으로 신경증과 진로탐색행동의 관계를 매개하였다. 본 연구는 또한 서로 다른 조절초점기제에 따른 관련 변인에서의 차이 여부를 조사하고, 개인의 성향적인 조절초점과 상황적으로 일시적으로 유도된 조절초점의 일치여부에 따라 본 연구의 경로모형의 적합성이 다르게 나타나는 지를 확인하였다. 먼저 예방초점일수록 신경증과 진로탐색행동관련불안이 크며, 향상초점일수록 수행에 대한 자신감인 진로탐색자기효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 성향과 상황적 조절초점이 일치하는 경우에서만 본 연구의 경로 모형이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구 결과에 대한 해석과 시사점 및 제한점에 대하여 논의하였다.

Abstract

Based on the Regulatory Focus Theory, this study investigated the possibility that neuroticism could prompt one's career exploration behavior under a certain circumstance. For the purpose, this study examined the model fit of the path model driven by the hypothesis that perceived anxiety about career exploration behavior will enhance performance by providing positive motivational cues to an individual who is high in neuroticism while self-efficacy will impede performance. 223 college students(93 men and 130 women) completed measures of neuroticism, career exploration self-efficacy, state anxiety, career exploration behavior, and regulatory focus strategies. This survey was designed as having two types, one including the instruction about positive role models, the other having negative role models. Then in order to classify the participants according to contextual conditions, we randomly assigned the participants to these two types. The results revealed that career exploration anxiety positively mediated the relationship between neuroticism and career exploration behavior while career exploration self-efficacy negatively mediated that relationship. This study also looks into whether relevant variables vary depending on different regulatory focus mechanisms, and whether accordance/discordance between dispositional regulatory focus and situational regulatory focus affects the suitability of this study’s path model. When one was more prevention focused, the extension of neuroticism and perceived anxiety was higher. But when one was more focused on promotion, he had higher career exploration self-efficacy. And when the dispositional and situational regulatory focus were correspondent, the path model could be applied. Explanations for unexpected outcomes and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
