역량프로그램이 청년구직자의 취업스트레스와 구직효능감에 미치는 효과

The Effect of Employment Ability Program on Job Stress and Job-seeking efficacy of Young Job Seekers

본 연구는 청년취업역량프로그램을 청년구직자(만 15세~ 29세)를 대상으로 실시하고, 이 프로그램이 미치는 효과를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 취업스트레스 척도와 구직효능감 척도를 사전-사후에 실시하였고, 변인별 프로그램 효과성을 검증을 위해 공분산분석(ANCOVA)을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 취업역량프로그램을 경험한 실험집단의 피험자들은 통제집단의 피험자들보다 취업스 트레스가 유의미하게 감소하였고, 구직효능감이 유의미하게 증가하였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과에 비추어 볼 때, 청년취업역량프로그램은 청년구직자의 취업스트레스를 감소시키고, 구직효능감을 증가시키는데 효과적인 프로그램으로 청년구직자가 취업준비 상황에서 느끼며 겪는 스트레스를 극복하고 효과적으로 구직활동을 수행하게 함으로써 성공적인 취업으로 이어나가는데 큰 힘이 될 것이다.
