یک مطالعه بین فرهنگی از مقدمات رفتار آماده سازی شغلی: انگیزه یادگیری، پیشرفت تحصیلی، شغلی و خودکارآمدی تصمیم

The purpose of this study is to identify salient factors on students' career preparation behavior in the context of the hospitality and tourism education. A correlational study examined relationships between learning motivation, academic achievement, career decision self-efficacy, and career preparation behavior for 188 American students and 234 Korean students who major hospitality and tourism. The results reveal cultural differences between American and Korean students in terms of career preparation. A series of multiple regression analyses confirm the proposed relationship between the antecedents and career preparation behavior. The possible implications for students' career preparation are discussed.
