Abstract

In this study, we examined the effect of non-cognitive factors on job tenure and tenure using KLIPS. We examine the internal consistency of the big5 personality trait and of the locus of control, and use the parameterized proportional hazards model. As a result, we confirmed that non-cognitive skill such as personality traits and locus of control affect individual labor market performance. Conscientiousness has shown that the job seeking period of adult job seekers is lengthened, thereby lowering the unemployment rate. It can be understood that high attentiveness under uncertainty can misinterpret information, and that lack of decision restricts escape from unemployment. In the tenure analysis, people with internal locus of control tendency were less likely to leave the job due to longer tenure. Those who have internal control can not only be preferred by the organization but also the internal control tendency seems to be the factor that maintains the long-term job because of the motivation and self-control of their actions.

본 연구에서는 구직기간과 근속기간에 미치는 비인지적 요인의 영향을 살펴보았다. 한국노동연구원의 노동패널 18차 삶의 인식에 대한 부가조사자료에는 개인의 비인지적 특성을 묻는 질문 문항이 들어있다. 노동패널자료를 사용하여 big5 성격특성과 통제소재 변인에 대한 내적일치도를 살펴보고, 분석방법으로는 구직기간과 근속기간 등 절단(censored)이 있는 표본을 포함하고 있는 자료의 분석에 적합한 비례위험해저드모형을 사용하였다. 추정결과 성격특성과 통재소재 등 비인지적 요인이 개인의 노동시장 성과에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 구직기간 분석에서 성격요인 중 성실성이 성인구직자의 구직기간을 길게 하여 실업탈출률을 낮추는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 실업과 같은 불확실한 상황에서는 성실성으로 표현되는 신중함이 구직에 필요한 정보해석을 잘못하거나 왜곡할 수 있고, 결단성의 결여로 실업탈출에 제약이 되는 것으로 보인다. 근속기간 분석에서는 내적통재 소재자의 경우 근속기간이 길어 직장이탈가능성이 낮았다. 내적통재소재자는 내가 열심히 하면 조직에서 성공과 승진이 가능하다고 믿는 경향이 강하기 때문에 조직에 의해 더 선호될 수 있으며, 내적통제 경향이 강할수록 스스로의 행동에 대한 동기부여와 자제심이 크기 때문에 한 직장에 오래 머물 수 있는 요인이 되는 것으로 보인다.
