대학소재지별 대학생의 취업준비역량이 첫 노동시장 성과에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of employment preparation capability of university students on performance in the first labor market and to explain the implications of university location in Korean society and the effects of employment preparation capability on performance in the first labor market. For this purpose, a multiple regression analysis was conducted using the Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey(GOMS) 2016 data. As a result, employment preparation capability of university students in Seoul area and national university students in non-Seoul area influenced the company size of the first workplace despite controlling other variables, but it did not affect the private university students in non-Seoul area. Employment preparation capability of university students in Seoul area and both national and private university students in non-Seoul areas influenced their first job’s wage in spite of controlling other variables. Among other control variables, family background is also confirmed to affect performance in the first labor market based on the location of university. The results of these studies shows that family background may also be influencing the current fixedness of the university hierarchical structure based on university location, and that the capability to prepare for employment also has effects depending on the structure. Therefore, it suggests that there is a need to find and apply diverse measures to enhance employment preparation capabilities for each specific university location.
