	%X The study aimed to verify a hypothesis that a sense of
fulfillment in student life and perceived stress in training in the
facilities could affect vocational identity among social welfare
university students, in order to acquire implications for enhancing the
vocational consciousness. A questionnaire survey was conducted with
388 third- and fourth-year students of training course for certified
social workers in three universities in A prefecture in Japan. The
questionnaire was returned by 338 students, and 288 responses
(85.2%) were valid and used for the analysis. As a SEM result, the
hypothesized model proved to be fit to the data. Path coefficient of
sense of fulfillment of student life to vocational identity was
statistically positive. Path coefficient of training stress to vocational
identity was statistically negative.
