Purpose:This study is a descriptive research study that analyzed the effect of selfmanagement competence on social anxiety in aviation-related college students.Methods: Data were collected from a total of 90 students, including 40 from the Department of Aviation Operations and 50 from the Department of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.Results: The self-management competence of aviation college students was found to be 3.55 points, and social anxiety was rated at 2.02 points.The study categorized students into groups based on their self-management competence levels, revealing that the group with high self-management competence had the lowest social anxiety at 1.65 points.The middle group showed social anxiety at 1.99 points, and the group with low self-management competence exhibited the highest social anxiety at 2.51 points.The study identified a negative correlation between self-management competence and social anxiety, indicating that as self-management competence increased, social anxiety decreased.Examining sub-elements of self-management competence and their correlation with social anxiety, the study found that self-emotion awareness and social anxiety exhibited a positive correlation.Conversely, self-control, confidence, selfexpression, perception of reality, independence, and social anxiety showed a negative correlation.Multiple regression analysis revealed that self-control had a negative effect on social anxiety, suggesting that strengthening self-management competence.Conclusion: In terms of self-control, strengthening self-management competence could reduce social anxiety among aviation college students.
