Abstract

Recently, the employment mismatching problem of young job seekers has been raised as a cause of youth unemployment as well as the rise of youth unemployment rate. Job mismatching is an imbalance in demand and supply among job seekers, that is, the imbalance in supply and demand. In addition, the mismatching of major satisfaction after college entrance and preference for the major related job can be regarded as the cause of the mismatching of the youth employment. Therefore, major selection and major satisfaction are very important in choosing future job for successful employment. This study is based on the causual analysis of employment mismatching depending on major satisfaction of four-year-course college students majoring in tourism in Jeju, and its objective may be summarized as follows. First, it may provide guidelines for solving the direction of career guidance and mismatching of young job seekers. Second, it may suggest the directions of establishing employment strategies for employment-related organizations and departments. Finally, it may provide information on how to increase the major satisfaction level of students majoring in tourism, employment competitiveness and rate. According to the results of this study, major satisfaction level was significantly different depending on personal characteristics. In case of gender, male students were found to have a higher degree of satisfaction than female students in major subjects and major selection among major satisfaction factors. Major faculty members did not significantly affect the major satisfaction of male and female students. In case of credit, students with an average score of 2.0 or more and less than 3.0 did not show significant difference in major subjects or major selection factors, but there was a significant difference in major satisfaction about major faculty members. And major satisfaction level has a partially significant impact on the desire of major-related job. Among the major satisfaction factors, major subjects and major selection factors are not important to the desire of major-related job, but the major faculty members are affecting major-related employment. In particular, students with an average credit score of 2.0 or more and less than 3.0 were partially affected by their major faculty members to their major satisfaction and major-related employment. In conclusion, we find that major satisfaction level is significantly different depending on the personal characteristics, and it has a significant influence on the desire of major-related job. We analyzed that the reason four-year college students majoring in tourism do not want to work in the tourism industry is because of low job satisfaction caused by disappointingly poor working conditions and environment of the tourism industry. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a career guidance and total employment support system depending on the preference and dispreference of students majoring in tourism in Jeju island for getting a job in the field of tourism.
