Abstract
The purpose of this study was to classify the career adaptation profiles of South Korean general high school students and to investigate the variables that significantly affected the classification of career adaptation types. This study collected data from 713 students attending five general high schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province in South Korea. The data were analyzed using latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis. The results of the research were as follows: First, the career adaptation types of general high school students were classified into five groups: Disengaged/Withdrawn, Exploring but Unprepared, Career Adaptability Resources-Dominant, Goal-Oriented Planning, and Highly Adaptive. Second, high school students with higher scores in career exploration, career decision, curiosity, and use of emotion are more likely to be classified into a more adaptive career type.
