Conscientiousness and Labour Market Outcomes
利用印尼面板数据，研究大五人格中的尽责性与就业和收入的关系，发现尽责性主要通过更高工作负荷和努力来解释收入差异，对政策干预有参考价值。
ABSTRACT Personality traits play an important role in determining earnings; however, the specific behaviours related to personality traits that explain the earnings differentials remain unclear. Using panel data from Indonesia, we examine the associations between Big Five personality traits and employment and earnings, as well as the potential channels linking personality to these outcomes. We find that conscientiousness is a robust predictor of both employment and earnings. We further show that the association between conscientiousness and earnings is primarily accounted for by higher workload and possibly higher effort. Our findings highlight conscientiousness and related behaviours as potentially relevant targets for future policy interventions.
