The Moderating Effect of Grade on the relation between Gender and Career Preparation Behavior of Foodservice and Culinary Art Majors: Focused on a Four-year University in Daejeon and Chungcheong Province

The purpose of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of grade on the relation between gender and the career preparation behaviors of students majoring in foodservice & culinary art. In order to achieve this objective, 250 students majoring in foodservice and culinary arts were selected as a sample from three universities located in Daejeon and Chungcheong province. A total of 217 questionnaires were analyzed after excluding 33 questionnaires. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was shown that gender and grade had a significant effect on the career preparation behaviors. It can be known that male and the upper grades showed higher the career preparation than female and the lower grades. Second, grade played a partial mediating role when gender had an effect on the career preparation behavior. Therefore, the career preparation behaviors of the majors in food service & culinary art should be improved by the career education through majors’ gender and grade.
