大学生のキャリア形成プロセス類型の妥当性の更なる検討―中国の大学生を対象として―

抄録

This study was conducted to show how six types of the career formation process ("achievement", "stage-up", "exploration", "vague/spontaneous", "lack of means", and "no-goal anxiety") would differ in the various aspects that indicated to contribute to clear conceptual distinctions (goal clarity by graduation, possibility of actualizing the goal by graduation, degree of congruence between employment and aspiration, first job consciousness, goal clarity 3-5 years after graduation), which aims to demonstrate the types' validity further. A 6-month longitudinal survey was conducted online and data were collected in two periods: during the job-hunting period and after its completion. One hundred eighty-one university students from China's western region were used, all of whom had secured a job offer before the second survey. The results showed that the unique features of "vague/spontaneous" were only partly confirmed, while "achievement" and "stage-up" were clearly distinguished from the other four types. Besides, many unique features of "lack of means", "exploration", and "no-goal anxiety" types were also confirmed. Overall, the validity of 6 types of the career formation process was confirmed to some extent.
