Profiles in the Work Values of College Graduates and Their Relation to Person-Job Fit and Job Satisfaction
Abstract
This study identified the work value profiles of Korean college graduates and verified the differences in job satisfaction and person-job (P-J) fit. It used 9,287 participants’ data from the 2019 Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey. The latent profile analysis indicated four work value profiles of college graduates. Chi-square statistics for pairwise differences between the identified profiles on P-J fit and job satisfaction showed that the highly balanced group had the highest mean scores on P-J fit and job satisfaction, followed by the average balanced, self-oriented, and passive groups. This study provides theoretical and practical implications, emphasizing intrinsic and balanced values.
