다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Department Satisfaction with his/her major is very important for successful college-life, because students go through maladaptation in case that they are not satisfied with their major department in universities. The purpose of this study is to find out more valid indicator for the Department Satisfaction(DS) of the Korean university students. A major hypothesis of this study is that the explanatory power of OS theory could be increased if two factors such as School Perception(SP) and Department Perception(DP) were added to the previous theory. DP is defined as the social reputation of and personal satisfaction with the department or major and SP is defined as the general reputation of and personal satisfaction with the university. Department Satisfaction Rating Scale(DSRS) was developed by twenty-￢seven items. The DSRS was administered to 960 undergraduate college students who were sampled from two major universities. A factor analysis was conducted using Varimax Rotation and five factors were found: School Perception, General Interest in Major, Department Perception, Curriculum, and Interpersonal Relation The results of the factor analysis suggest that School Perception has the strongest explanatory power as a factor of Department Satisfaction. This result implies that school counselors examine their students` perception of the universities in the process of application to college.
