Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Kariyer Kararlılığı

Abstract

Kariyer kavramı, iş hayatında olan veya olması muhtemel insanlar için önemli bir kavram olarak görülmektedir. Kariyer kararlılığı kavramı ise bireyin kariyer seçimine olan bağlılığı ve bu seçimden duyduğu memnuniyeti ifade eder. Kariyer karar verme süreci, insanların tüm yaşamlarını etkileme potansiyeli yüksek konulardan biridir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmanın amacı, spor bilimler alanındaki üniversite öğrencilerinin kariyer kararlılıklarını belirlemek ve cinsiyet, yaş, iş deneyimi ve bölüm gibi farklı değişkenlere göre incelemektir. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya Kastamonu Üniversitesi Beden Eğitim ve Spor Yüksekokulu'ndan toplam 633 öğrenci dahil olmuştur. Araştırma içerisinde Akçakanat ve Uzunbacak (2019) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan 6 madde ve tek boyuttan oluşan Kariyer Kararlılığı Ölçeği ölçme aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin kariyer karar düzeylerinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, erkek katılımcıların kariyer karar düzeylerinin kadın katılımcılardan daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, katılımcıların yaş ve iş tecrübesi parametreleri ile kariyer kararlılıkları arasında pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır.
