The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the culinary education environment and career decision self-efficacy of culinary major students have an effect on culinary education satisfaction. The survey was conducted from November 29 to December 17, 2021, targeting students majoring in culinary arts at two-year colleges in Jeollanam-do, Jeonrabuk-do and Chungcheong Province. Change of 230 data collected, 216 valid questionnaires were used as final analysis data. As a result of the analysis, it was found that, first, the satisfaction of culinary education was significantly affected in the order of education program, teaching ability, administrative service, and self-efficacy in career decision. Second, it was found that there was a significant effect on the self-efficacy of career decision making in the order of teaching ability, cooking practice facilities, and educational programs, and administrative services had no effect. Finally, it was verified that career decision self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the causal relationship between cooking environment and educational satisfaction, such as cooking education ability, educational programs, cooking practice facilities, and administrative services. Based on the results of this study, the implications for improving the culinary education satisfaction of culinary major students are as follows. First, the contents of the cooking practice lectures should be made into videos so that they can be used continuously while watching the videos and used as educational materials. Second, it is necessary to develop and operate a culinary major certificate acquisition program by sharing opinions with students. Third, there is a need to privide students with career and employment-related information and to give special lectures by inviting seniors or external lecturers related to their major through counseling with students so that they can gain confidence. Fourth, it is important to create various clubs to participate in major-related competitions and various peddlings, to support field training, and to create a scholarship system so that students can participate directly.
