In particular, IT employees often need to do overtime work for a living, and due to the logical complexity of its job-characteristics, not every IT employees can withhold their original enthusiasm and loyalty if they do not have adequate professional skills and self-cognition. Personality traits have been widely discussed in human resources, and here we study what kinds of personality traits have significant influences in the IT working environment.
The subjects of this study are graduates from MIS department or IT employees. We first choose the sample according to our convenience sampling, and then perform a formal questionnaire survey. There are 174 valid questionnaires returned, and the effective rate is about 74.68%. In addition to the basic background information, we focus mainly upon the differences among five personality traits, career choices, competency cognition, and self-efficacy.
This study shows that there is significant difference between workers with high conscientiousness and low conscientiousness. And, for IT employees, interactions among occupation type, academic background, and extraversion or openness of personality traits, relative to competency cognition, are significant. Also, due to the career discrepancy, there are significant differences in self-efficacy and competency cognition for different occupational categories of the IT industry. For workers with high and low openness, their personality traits in self-efficacy and competency cognition are different. In addition, people with different academic background also have significant differences in self-efficacy in their jobs.
In summary, the analysis demonstrates that there are significant differences among personality traits, competency cognition, and self-efficacy. So people who wish to work in the information industry should consider their own personality to decide whether they are suitable or not.
