RELAȚIILE DINTRE TRĂSĂTURILE DE PERSONALITATE ȘI AȘTEPTĂRILE TINERILOR DE LA LOCUL DE MUNCĂ

Abstract

The main focus of this study was to identify the links between personality and job expectations for young adults. The first objective of this study was to identify the differences in young adults' job expectations in relation to their age and the congruence between their studies and the field in which they would like to work in. The second objective was to identify the relationship between young adults' personality, their job expectations and the way they perceive the possible congruence between their studies and the field in which they would like to work in. For this, a sample of young adults was used, all of them having finished college or were currently in college at the time the study was being carried out. The results were conclusive and have shown that there is a strong relationship between personality traits and job expectations and the expected studies-job congruence. Also, young adults under 21 have higher expectations about their studies and future job congruence, than those who are older than 21 years of age. And last but not least, young adults who have high expectations about their studies and future job being congruent also have higher job expectations.
