Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine influencing factors of job-seeking stress among Korean college students. A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted. A sample size of 248 male and 225 female students residing in South Korea completed the instruments of perceived job-seeking stress, self-efficacy, stress coping, social support, and depressive symptoms. Data was analyzed by ANOVA and multivariate regression. Female presented higher stress level, depressive symptoms, and lower self-efficacy and active coping. Influencing factors of job-seeking stress were self-efficacy, depression, grade, major, academic achievement, and employment status. Female students, self-efficacy, and academic major need to be considered when developing job-seeking stress management program. Depression should be screened when counseling students on high level of job-seeking stress. (Korean J Str Res 2015;23:79∼89)
