HEXACO in Careers: The Importance of Personality traits for Career Transition Outcomes in Adolescence

In this paper the importance of HEXACO personality traits in career context is explored. We followed senior secondary school students in the first semester of their last grade (N=981), in the second semester (N=568), and a year later, after their transition to work or university (N=405). Participants completed HEXACO-60 as a measure of personality traits, measures of career-related traits (interests and work values), career readiness measures (career adaptability and career decision-making difficulties), and measures of career transition outcomes (academic/work achievement, study/work satisfaction, study/work engagement, perceived P- E fit and subjective well-being). The results indicated expected relations between HEXACO personality traits, career-related traits and career readiness measures. Further, personality traits Extraversion and Conscientiousness had unique contribution for explaining majority of career transition outcomes, in addition to career readiness. Results are fully in line with theoretical expectations and suggest the importance of HEXACO personality traits in career behavior.
