This study aims to reveal what personal characteristics are related to aviation accidents. For this purpose, the individual’s psychological traits revealed in the previous studies are classified in the aspect of personality, attitude, emotion, cognition and physical condition and questionnaires are designed accordingly. It carried out group mean test and Logistic Regression on the response data from 140 ROK Air Force pilots. The result of the mean test showed no characteristics that distinguish the ones who experienced aviation safety risk from the ones who did not, but it revealed that the distinct characteristics between the ones who violated ROE regulation and the ones who did not consist of two factors of conscientiousness and chronic stress. The result showed significant differences between the aviation incidents experience group and inexperience group in 11 characteristic factors of risk seeking, risk acceptance, lack of discipline, neglect of warning, anxiety, depression tendency, inattention, vigilance, risk sensitivity, forthrightness, and chronic fatigue/condition. Between the Near Miss/ACAS experience group and inexperience group, the mean test showed differences in 4 characteristic factors of anxiety, inattention, risk acceptance and chronic stress. The result of Logistic Regression indicated that the characteristic factors that distinguish the incident experience group from the incident inexperience group with high predictability are 4 factors consist of risk sensitivity, chronic fatigue/condition, anxiety, and depression tendency, and the factor that distinguish the Near Miss/ACAS experience group from the Near Miss/ACAS inexperience group turned out to be anxiety. The present study has significance in disclosing the pilot characteristic factors related to aviation accident or risk by taking pilots as test subject. The result of the study is discussed in light of its theoretical and practical implications as well as its restrictions.
This study investigated the influence of authentic leadership on psychological contract. In addition, through mediation analysis, mediating roles of procedural justice and leader trust were examined. The data was collected from 180 employees working with several companies based in Korea. Furthermore, 162 responses were put into analysis after filtering out inappropriate responses. The results showed that authentic leadership has positive relationship with psychological contract, procedural justice, and leader trust. Additionally, both procedural justice and leader trust have positive relationship with psychological contract. Mediation analysis suggested significant mediating effects for both procedural justice and leader trust. Finally, based on the result of the analysis, implications, limitations and suggestions for future research were discussed.
This study aims to examine the effect of consistency between applicants’ personality traits and job characteristics on employment advertisement. There are few empirical evidences about the consistency of personality traits and job characteristics, particularly in the employment advertisement, even though literature has shown that person-job (P-J) fit and person-organization (P-O) fit are strongly related to organization attractiveness and job choice decisions. The data were collected from a experiment of undergraduate students at a large Korean University. Using a ratin-square design and a eye-movement system in order to control over the order effect of stimuli presentations, the eighty subjects were given a series of employment advertisement one month after they completed the personalty test of NEO FFI-3. The employment advertisement material includes job requirements which represent a specific traits along with applicants’ personality traits. The result shows that the personality-based consistency between individuals traits and job characteristics is fairly associated with perception of person-job fit and intention to job acceptance. However, Results indicate a weak relationship between personality-based consistency and organizational attractiveness on employment advertisement. This study provides unique contributes to the literature by exploring how personality-based consistency between individuals and jobs influences perceived person-environment (P-E) fit and job choice decisions. Theoretical implications to the personality and recruitment literature are discussed along with practical suggestions to manager that are responsible for human resource management.
The purpose of this study was first to exmine the influence of career and organizational commitment on subjective career success, and mediating role of career and organizational commitment between proactive personality and career success. Second, moderating and mediating effects of self-efficacy between subjective career success and future time perspective were exmined. Third, the mediation role of the future time perspective between active aging and subjective career success was exmined. Data was collected on 144 retired emploees above 55 years old, and 256 employees ranged from 55 to 70 years old. Results first showed that career and organizational commitment had main effect on subjective and objective career success. Second, it indicated that career and organizational commitment mediated the relationship between proactive personality and career success. Third, the results of hierarchical regression and structural equation modeling showed that self-efficacy moderated and mediated the relationship between subjective career success and future time perspective. Lastly, the results of structural eqauation modeling indicated mediating effect of futre time perspective on relationship between subjective career success and active aging. Finally, implications of the results, limitations of this study, and directions of future research were discussed.
The current study was aimed to test the mediational effects of gratitude and life satisfaction on the link between transformational leadership and innovative behavior. In order to examine the hypothesis, 374 employees were sampled. In structural equation modeling, the hypothetical model explaining the structural paths and the fit of the model were evaluated. The results showed that gratitude and life satisfaction mediated the relations between transformational leadership and innovative behavior. Additionally, the associations between transformational leadership and gratitude was moderated by organizationally-prescribed perfectionism. The implications and limitations of the study, and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of impression management strategies on Big 5 personality rating in interview. We made up four different videos that the same hypothetical applicant used different impression management strategies during the three minutes interview. The hypothetical applicant used a combination of the assertive strategy(high versus low) and non-verbal strategy(use versus no-use). The sixty-eight raters evaluated Big 5 personality traits of the applicant after they watched one of four videos(2 × 2 experimental conditions). It was found that the raters evaluated the applicant's emotional stability and openness were high when the applicant used high assertive strategy than low assertive strategy. Also, the raters evaluated the applicant was more extroverted, agreeable, conscientious, emotionally stable, open when the applicant used non-verbal strategy(such as eye-contact, smiling, and nodding) than not used. In addition, interaction effect between the assertive strategy(high versus low) and non-verbal strategy(use versus no-use) was found in the rating of emotional stability. Specifically, the simple main effect of assertive strategy was not strong when the applicant used non-verbal strategy. But the rater evaluated the applicant was more emotionally stable in high assertive strategy condition than low assertive strategy condition when the applicant not used non-verbal strategy. Finally, theoretical and practical implications, limitations of this study, and future research tasks were discussed.
The current study investigates how daily mood(positive or negative affect) alters creative behaviors of employees, and how personality traits(conscientiousness and openness to experience) moderate this relationship. In particular, assuming that mood in organization varies on a daily basis, we focused on the relationship between general mood in the workplace and creative process engagement(CPE) at a within-person level. Based on the previous literature review on how emotional valence stimulates creative behaviors, we developed and tested hypotheses stating that positive mood would facilitate creative behaviors while negative mood would inhibit them. Moreover, as moderators, we examined the effects of conscientiousness and openness to experience of the Five-Factor traits which either strengthen or weaken the relations between mood and creative behaviors. The model was tested on a sample of 71 employees of large companies in Korea. We collected and analyzed data on mood and CPE for 10 working days. As a result, it was found that daily positive mood enhances CPE while negative mood hinders it, and conscientiousness attenuates the effect of mood on CPE. In particular, for those with high conscientiousness, the influence of mood on CPE was not as strong, and highly conscious people portrayed a relatively stable and high level of CPE. We concluded with a discussion of the contribution of between-and within-person level variables in predicting creativity and its practical implications as well as limitations.
The purpose of the present research was to examine the reliability, validity and factorial structure of the Korean version of Multidimensional Calling Measure(MCM). The items from the original scale were translated into Korean and back-translated prior to the distribution to 385 working adults in various vocations. Internal and external values were used in order to test convergent and discriminant validities, and Brief Calling Scale and Korean version of the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire(CVQ-K) were used in terms of examining concurrent validity. In addition, autonomy was used as the independent variable, and several work-related variables(career commitment, organizational commitment, organizational identification, and burnout) as well as life-related variables (meaning in life and life satisfaction) were used as dependent variables for testing predictive validity. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis supported the three factor structure in the Korean version, as in the original scale. MCM-K showed higher correlation with the internal value than the external value, and it also showed significant positive relationship with both Brief Calling Scale(BCS) and Korean version of Calling and Vocation Questionnaire(CVQ-K). Furthermore, the relationships with independent and dependent variables were consistent with previous research, confirming the predictive validity of the scale. Such results altogether imply that MCM-K is a reliable and valid tool for measuring and studying the concept of calling within Korean society. Directions for future research and limitations were also discussed.
Career transition of middle & young-old aged workers before their complete labor force withdrawal have received more attention in countries where aging society is progressing rapidly. Given that organizations and society may not be able to provide a full support for career transition of middle & young-old aged workers, self-directed career management of individual workers may be a key factor for the successful second career. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that many affect the proactive career behavior of middle & young-old aged workers for post-retirement career. The proactive career behavior of middle & young-old aged workers may be associated with various contexts(i.e. organizational factor, social factor) as well as individual factors. the study took multilevel approach to capture the nature of the work environment of the career middle & young-old age. At the individual level, core self evaluation, work ability and mentoring were considered as predictor variables of proactive career behavior. The study also examined the cross-level moderating effect of employment security at the organizational level. Data were collected from 127 middle & young-old aged workers in 33 organizations. The data were analyzed with Hierarchical Linear Model(HLM). The results of the study found that positive effect of core self evaluation, work ability and mentoring on proactive career behavior at the individual level. employment security moderated the relationships between pre-retirement proactive career behavior and the predictor variables(i.e. work ability, mentoring).
The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of networking behaviors on the relationships between individual needs and subjective career success. Data were obtained from 197 employees in various organizations who have been employed for more than two years. Structural equation analyses were conducted to test hypotheses. Results showed that achievement needs affected task networking behavior and affiliation needs affected affiliative networking behavior. Only task networking behavior affected subjective career success. Thus, task networking behavior mediated the relationship between achievement needs and subjective career success. Finally implications, limitations, and future studies were discussed.
The purpose of this study was to (1) explore the predictive variables of emotional labor(surface acting and deep acting) in relations with supervisors in terms of individual, relational and organizational perspective, (2) examine the relationship between emotional labor and burnout(emotional exhaustion, cynicism and inefficacy), and (3) propose and test the relations model of emotional labor with predictors and criterion. A total of 435 employees working at various companies in Korea participated in an on-line survey, and 401 data were used for statistical analysis after elimination of inadequate sample. The results showed that individual positive affective, negative affective, supervisor's defensive communication style and hierarchical organizational culture affected surface acting, while deep acting was influenced by individual affects and hierarchical organizational culture. In addition, the result of hierarchical regression analysis demonstrated that surface acting affected all of three factors of burnout, whereas deep acting affected cynicism and inefficacy. All of the fit indices of the relations model of emotional labor were acceptable, supporting the validity of the model. On the basis of the results, the implications and future research directions were discussed.
