The purpose of this study was to examine the multi-dimensionality of career decision-making autonomy using a latent profile analysis, and to identify differences in career preparation behavior, outcome expectation and optimism by latent class. Participants were 74 North Korean refugee adolescents attending alternative high schools in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Pusan. Analyses included descriptive statistics, correlations, and latent profile analysis. MANOVA, and post hoc tests were also conducted to confirm the differences in career preparation behavior, outcome expectation and optimism by career decision-making autonomy typology. The results revealed that latent profiles were classified into three groups: ‘strong motivation group’, ‘degraded motivational group’, and ‘conflicted motivation group’. Furthermore, there were differences in outcome expectation and optimism between groups, but not in career preparation behavior. The implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research are discussed.
