대학생의 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음과 취업불안의 구조적 관계에서 기본심리욕구 충족-좌절의 매개효과와 대학소재지의 다집단분석 = Mediating Effects of Basic Psychological Needs on the Structural Relationship Between BJW and Job-Seeking Anxiety Among University Students: A Multigroup Analysis by University Location

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examined the structural relationships and the differences by university location in Belief in a Just World(BJW), basic psychological needs(autonomy, relatedness, competence) satisfaction- frustration, and job-seeking anxiety. This study’s participants consisted of 702 students sampled from universities in Korea. The results were as follows: First, BJW, basic psychological needs satisfaction-frustration, and job-seeking anxiety showed statistically significant correlations with each other. Second, autonomy and competence frustration mediated the relationship between BJW and job-seeking anxiety. Finally, multi-group analysis revealed a difference in the competence frustration → job-seeking anxiety path for university location.




Educational Impact and Implications : This study revealed that BJW, a psychological construct related to “fairness,” a social discourse, is closely related to the basic psychological needs(autonomy, relatedness, and competence) satisfaction and frustration, and that it can also alleviate job-seeking anxiety. Because sustained social and educational experiences affect BJW, universities should cultivate learning environments that enhance students’ BJW in ways that fulfill basic psychological needs satisfaction and alleviate their frustration and job-seeking anxiety. Additionally, an educational approach that considers university location is required.
