초록

As the university graduates' unemployment has become one of the critical issues in Korean society, various efforts for its solution has been offered. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of social support upon university students’ career preparation behavior and reflective learning. The study analysed the relationship between social support and career preparation behavior, and the mediating effect of students' reflective learning. 424 university students of Seoul and Metropolitan area were surveyed. The findings of the study showed that there is a positive relation with students' perception of social support and career preparation behavior, and students' reflective learning has a partial mediation effect between the two variables. The result implies that students who perceive higher social support will enhance their reflective learning level in which will eventually engage them actively in their career preparation behavior. Thus, in order to enhance university students' career preparation behavior, it is important to make them feel encouraged with tangible as well as emotional support. Also, educational support for students' reflective learning should be provided in higher education institutions and programs to advance students' career development.
