Abstract

The hospitality industry is currently facing a labor shortage crisis, preventing hotels from operating effectively. This study focuses on understanding the career decisions of hospitality graduates to examine whether occupational choice can be predicted from personality traits. The current occupations of 523 hospitality graduates were coded in light of the RIASEC model and its six dimensions (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) were regressed on personality results collected during graduates' studies. We found that extraverted individuals chose occupations scoring high in the Enterprising and Social dimensions of the RIASEC model, and they also have occupations scoring lower in the Investigative dimension. People scoring higher in Openness to experience have occupations scoring lower in the Realistic dimension. Conscientious individuals have occupations scoring higher in the Conventional domain. Results demonstrate that personality traits do indeed predict occupational choice, reinforcing the significant role of person-environment fit in shaping hospitality graduates’ occupational choices.

个性对酒店业毕业生的职业选择并不陌生

酒店业目前正面临劳动力短缺危机，使酒店无法有效运营。本研究的重点是了解酒店业毕业生的职业决策，以检验职业选择是否可以从性格特征中预测。523名酒店业毕业生的当前职业是根据RIASEC模型进行编码的，其六个维度（现实、调查、艺术、社会、创业和传统）是根据毕业生研究期间收集的个性结果进行回归的。我们发现，外向型个体选择的职业在RIASEC模型的企业和社会维度得分较高，而他们的职业在调查维度得分较低。在开放体验维度得分较高的人，在现实维度得分较低的职业。有良知的人在传统领域的职业得分更高。研究结果表明，人格特征确实可以预测职业选择，强化了人-环境匹配在塑造酒店业毕业生职业选择中的重要作用。
