Recently, various attempts have been made to improve corporate performance due to rapid changes in business environment. Modern organizations are trying to enhance job performance and their development by identifying the personality as behavioral characteristics including personality tests. In order to have sustainable competition, human resource management in the organization is very important.
In this thesis, the impact of the HEXACO Personality on the success of these individuals and the mediating role of job satisfaction between these independent variables and dependent variables were analyzed. Indeed, the impact of the HEXACO Personality on the success of these individuals and the moderating effect of the Five Elements between these variables were verified. Lastly, the effect of job satisfaction on individual success were investigated. At first, in order to examine the hypothesis relationship empirically based on a research model, frequency analysis was carried out using the statistical package of SPSS V.17 with collected data through data coding and data cleaning process. Then, factor analysis was conducted to identify the fact that the selected variables as measuring tools can be equally loaded to previous studies. After reliability analysis for determining that factors extracted by the factor analysis consist of homogeneous variables, variable calculation was performed with remaining variables by removing variables incorrectly loaded, lack of explanation or undermining confidence. The reliability of the selected variables was tested using Cronbach's Alpha value. After verifying the reliability of the variables through the reliability test, correlation analysis was conducted and the hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.
Data used in the empirical analysis were collected by survey methods. These were conducted targeting representatives of small and medium enterprises, presidents of construction companies and their employees such as directors and managers, self-employed and employees working for large corporations and small businesses living in Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Chonnam province and Gyeongnam province. The survey period is from 7th of October 2010 through 30th of October 2010. A total number of 300 questionnaires were distributed and 272 were returned among them. In order to increase the reliability of empirical measurements and to obtain useful results, 12 questionnaire responses falsely created or missing were firstly removed. Because individual success is set as a dependent variable in this research model, 165 questionnaires from representatives of small and medium enterprises, presidents of construction companies and self-employed were only selected to use economically and socially successful people.
The results based on the purpose and analysis methods in this thesis are summarized as follows.
First, the influence test of the HEXACO Personality on individual success shows that Openness to Experience (p<.01), Conscientiousness (p<.05), eXtraversion (p<.05) and Honesty-Humility have significant effect on individual success while Emotionality and Agreeableness has little impact on it. This result implies that clear sense of purpose, planned work, discretion, collaborative relationship with others, stimulation of curiosity are required for individual success.
Second, the influence test of the HEXACO Personality on job satisfaction shows that only Conscientiousness (p<.05) has significant effect on job satisfaction and other variables have no impact on it. However, in the existing research (HyunChul Lim, 2010), Conscientiousness has no significant effect on individual success, which is different from the result of this thesis. This is because the characteristics of the sample target, which consists of representatives of small and medium enterprises, presidents of construction companies and self-employed. This result implies that people with clear sense of purpose and concentration on their work are more satisfying their job and people with concrete work plan and self-control are satisfying their job by working hard with discretion.
Third, job satisfaction has significant effect on individual success. This implies that, in order to feel a sense of accomplishment through internal success, social recognition and social service, job satisfaction should be preceded and relationships with colleagues and superiors in the workplace should be good. Indeed, longer work experience strengthens the belief of individual success.
Fourth, the possibility test that the Five Elements can control the relationship between success and the six major dimension of personality in the HEXACO Personality shows that the interaction between Agreeableness and the 'Wood' property ,and the interaction between Conscientiousness and the 'Wood' property have significant effect on individual success in the case of the 'Wood' of the Five Elements. However, the 'Fire' of the Five Elements has no control over the relationship between success and six parameters of the HEXACO Personality. In the case of the 'Earth' of the Five Elements, the interaction between Emotionality and the 'Earth' property have significant effect on individual success. In other words, the 'Earth' controls the relationship between success and six parameters of the HEXACO Personality. This results implies that the 'Earth' can harmonize with Emotionality though it has an overcoming interaction with Emotionality. This is because the 'Water' and the 'Earth' can be complementary when the proper amount of them exist together. Finally, the 'Metal' of the Five Elements has no control over the relationship between success and six parameters of the HEXACO Personality. In this case, unlike the case of the 'Fire', the moderating effect is somewhat meaningful in some cases but it is not found in all aspects, so that the 'Metal' cannot play a role to control the relationship.
Fifth, the investigation on the mediating effect of job satisfaction shows that only Conscientiousness plays as a mediator. This is because Conscientiousness is a resonable and predictable variable regardless of job groups or situations commonly founded in almost all the previous studies. Conscientiousness is related to learning and achievement, so that it may affect individual success if job satisfaction is provided.
