다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine any possible differences in the outcome of employment among subgroups organized by the levels of the big five personality factors by using the Korean Education and Employment Panel(KEEP) data released by Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education & Training. In the 9th data of 2012 investigating the big five personality factors, there was a cohort of 2,514 high school seniors, among which 644 respondents answered they were hired at present, and 599 students were selected as the final samples except for 45 people who didn t answer about the variable of employment outcome.
Statistical data on mean and standard deviation were used to classify the students into three different groups for each of the five personality factors according to the levels of the factors: high-level groups, middle-level groups and low-level groups. And then one-way ANOVA was carried out to see if there were any differences among the groups in monthly mean pay, coincidence between major and job, job satisfaction and workplace satisfaction that were the major sub-indicators of employment outcomes. The major findings of the study were as follows: First, the group that scored relatively higher in extraversion and whose extraversion was consequently on a high level were ahead of the groups whose extraversion was on middle and low levels in terms of monthly mean pay, and that also was the same case for coincidence between major and job, for job satisfaction and for workplace satisfaction. Second, the group whose neuroticism was on a high level expressed relatively less satisfaction with their jobs and workplaces. Third, the group whose agreeableness was on a high level expressed relatively higher satisfaction with their jobs and workplaces. Fourth, there were no intergroup differences according to conscientiousness and openness in the four variables of employment outcome that were inputted in this study.
The findings of the study were compared with those of earlier studies to give some suggestions on the work-related ideal personality building of the younger generation including youth and on the right directions for future research efforts.
