Abstract

The Effects of Social Capital on Occupational Aspiration in University Students This study aims to understand the impact of social capital (parent-child relationship, human network, and SNS use) on the occupational aspiration level in university students based on Coleman's Social Capital Concept. To achieve this, statistical significance test was conducted through correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The major study findings are as follows. As a result of correlation analysis, it was found that Other variables, except for parent's occupational of social capital had a positive effect on vocational aspiration. Also. as a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis, it was found that parent-child relationship, human network obtained from social activities, Social Networking Service use and usefulness of information - social capital factors - had a statistically significant impact on occupational aspiration. Such findings suggest that the process of possessing and acquiring social capital among university students served as an important achievement-oriented value in terms of social mobility.

이 연구는 콜맨(Coleman)의 사회자본을 근거로 대학생의 사회자본(부모-자녀관계, 인적 네트워크, SNS 활용)이 진로포부 수준에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 상관관계 분석, 위계적 다중회귀 분석을 이용하여 통계적 유의성을 검증하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 상관관계 분석 결과 사회자본의 하위변인 부모의 직업을 제외한 나머지 변인은 진로포부에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 위계적 다중회귀 모형으로 확인한 결과 사회자본인 부모와 자녀의 관계, 사회활동을 통해 얻은 인적네트워크, 사회관계망 서비스의 활용 및 정보의 도움 정도는 직업포부에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 같은 연구 결과는 사회계층 이동에 대학생의 사회자본의 소유 및 획득 과정이 중요한 성취지향가치관으로 작용하고 있음을 의미한다.
