The Effects of Awareness of Certification of National Nail-care Technicians on Applicability at Work and Satisfaction with License Acquisition

This study investigated the effects of the awareness of national nail-care technician certification on its applicability at work, satisfaction with license acquisition and the influence of such job applicability on satisfaction with license acquisition. It is anticipated that the study results would enhance people’s perception on the certification of national nail-care technicians and increase its usefulness at work. For this, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students majoring in cosmetology in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do, who had provided nail-care service at least once and those who earned certification as a national nail-care technician or who had taken the license test before among nail salon workers from July 19 to 25, 2019. For data collection, the questionnaire was distributed to nail salons, private cosmetology academies, colleges and others. The collected data were analyzed through frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 25.0, and the results found the following: First, in sub-factors of the awareness of national nail-care technician certification, ‘value’ and ‘appropriateness of constitution’ had an influence on ‘field applicability’ while ‘cost effectiveness’, ‘necessity’ and ‘utility’ revealed no effect. In addition, while ‘appropriateness of constitution’ and ‘necessity’ affected ‘task applicability’, ‘value’, ‘cost effectiveness’ and ‘utility’ did not show any influence. Second, ‘value’ and ‘appropriateness of constitution’ had an effect on ‘satisfaction with license acquisition’ while no influence was found in ‘cost effectiveness’, ‘necessity’ and ‘utility’. Third, ‘field applicability’ and ‘task applicability’ revealed an influence on ‘satisfaction with license acquisition’.
