Abstract
It is inevitable that business life, which constitutes a large part of human life, is affected by many different reasons, and that the professions forced to be selected would make people unhappy throughout their work life, and as a result, hidden unemployment and improper duties would emerge. It is important for employees - especially those who are the most important factor in the service sector - to choose their profession fondly, to do their job fondly, and to have personality traits suitable for the job. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect the university students' choice of departments and to determine how these factors differ according to the personality traits of the participants and demographic variables. The convenience sampling method, one of the non-probabilistic methods, was used in the study and the questionnaires which applied to 252 cookery students were interpreted by using SPSS 20 program. As a result of the analysis; it was observed that the most influencing factor in the choice of the department of the cookery students is the professional values; that maternal profession and education play an important role in the selection of the department; that the highest average taken from personality traits is the personality which is open to experience; and that personality differs according to many demographic characteristics and different personality traits are affected by the reasons of students' choice of different departments.
