Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the job-finding anxiety and the academic engagement of undergraduate students studying in the field of sports sciences. The “Scale of Job Finding Anxiety of Sports Science Students” developed by Aslan and Ugras (2021) and the “Academic Engagement Scale” developed by Kızılkaya and Dogan (2022) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis, it was observed that the job-finding anxiety had a significant and negative effect on academic engagement (p<0.01). According to these results, it is revealed that it is necessary to take measures to reduce the job-finding anxiety and to develop education policies so that students can have a more productive education process with high academic engagement.
