The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural relationship between career decision self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation in the relationship between self-concept clarity and career preparation behavior of university students. To this end, a survey was conducted on 339 male and female university students enrolled in a four-year university, and self-concept clarity, career decision-making self-efficacy, internal motivation, and career preparation behavior were selected as major variables. As a result of the analysis, self-concept clarity, career decision self-efficacy, and intrinsic motivation all showed correlations with career preparation behavior, and correlations between each variable were also confirmed. In addition, the sequential mediating effect of career decision self-efficacy and internal motivation was confirmed in the relationship between self-concept clarity and career preparation behavior. In order to promote career preparation behavior of college students, it suggests that it is important to induce continuous intrinsic motivation by enhancing career decision self-efficacy by providing success experiences related to career decision as well as self-understanding.
