AB - Objectives: This study examines how perceived Social Support—Emotional, Evaluative, Informational, and Material Support—and Motivation for Major Selection (Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation) influence Curriculum Satisfaction, Perception Satisfaction, and Relationship Satisfaction among aviation tourism majors. Methods: Data were collected from 282 undergraduates majoring in Aviation Tourism at H University through an online survey. Using SPSS 25.0, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression were performed to analyze the effects of each sub-factor on major satisfaction. Results: Emotional Support and Informational Support showed consistent significant positive (+) effects across all satisfaction domains. Material Support influenced Curriculum Satisfaction, and Evaluative Support affected Perception Satisfaction. Both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation had significant positive (+) effects on Curriculum, Perception, and Relationship Satisfaction, with Intrinsic Motivation demonstrating stronger influence than Extrinsic Motivation. Conclusion: The findings highlight that multidimensional Social Support and Intrinsic Motivation are key determinants of major satisfaction among aviation tourism students. To improve Curriculum, Perception, and Relationship Satisfaction, universities should strengthen emotional and informational support systems and implement educational strategies that cultivate intrinsic motivation. These results provide practical guidance for enhancing academic adjustment and career readiness in the aviation tourism field.
