The Influence of Major Selection Motives and Major Satisfaction on Career Decision in College Students Majoring in Cosmetology

This study attempted to empirically investigate the influence of major selection motives and major satisfaction on career decisions against college students majoring in cosmetology. For this, a survey was performed against 276 college students attending 4-year universities in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do. A pilot study was conducted against 30 female college students from April 5 to 9, 2021, and the main survey was carried out from April 13 to May 17, 2021. Among the 300 questionnaires distributed, 276 copies, excluding 24 poorly answered ones, were used for final analysis, and the results found the following: First, to analyze the effects of major selection motives on career decision, responses were classified and categorized. Major selection motives were divided into ‘personal motives’ and ‘social motives’ while career decisions were categorized into ‘career decision made’ and ‘career decision not made’. Overall, major selection motives positively influenced career decision with statistical significance (p<.001). Second, in terms of the effects of major selection motives on major satisfaction, ‘personal motives’ had a positive influence with statistical significance (p<.001). Third, major satisfaction also positively affected career decisions with statistical significance (p<.001).
