Although networking behavior is an effective job search method to students, far too little attention has been paid to mechanisms explaining the antecedents and networking behavior. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the effect of the HEXACO personality dimensions on graduated students' job search networking behavior through their network size. A survey of 773 participants was conducted to assess personality traits, network size, and networking behavior. All constructs in the study were measured by 5-point Likert scales. This study employed a structural equation model to examine the proposed conceptual model and the correlations among variables. Results showed that the personality of emotionality negatively influence students' network size, while extraversion and agreeableness are positively associated with the scope of their social network. Second, the findings confirmed that network size is directly related to the level of looking-for job behavior, particularly networking behavior. Finally, our results explored that network size played the mediating effect on how personality traits affect networking behavior. These findings suggest that network size is a dynamic mechanism that helps to understand the correlation between personality traits and job search networking behavior. The theoretical and practical implication of the study, as well as the future research direction were discussed.

개인의 성격은 창의적 능력을 발휘하는 데 있어 유의미한 상관관계를 가지는 안정적인 예측 변인 중 하나이다. 하지만 성격과 창의력 간의 관계가 발달과정에서 동일한 패턴을 유지하는가에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 영어권 이외의 사람들의 성격에 따른 행동 양식을 예측/설명하는 데 더욱 효율적이라고 알려진 HEXACO 성격검사를 사용하여 성인기 이전의 발달 과정에서 개인의 고유한 성격 변인과 창의적 능력 검사와의 상관관계가 어떻게 변화하는지 살펴보고자 탐색적 연구를 진행하였다. 국제학생창의력올림피아드 한국대회에 참여한 초 중 고등학생 230명에 대해 성격검사인 HEXACO와 확산적 사고를 측정하는 대안적 용법 검사(AU) 원격 연합 검사(RAT)의 상관분석을 실시한 결과 성격 변인과 창의적 능력 검사 간의 유의미한 상관을 관찰했으며, 이러한 상관관계가 학력 수준에 따라 서로 다른 양상으로 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

The study examined the relationship between six broad personality traits(i.e., HEXACO; Honesty-humility, Emotionality, eXtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness to experience), safety job performance, and traffic accidents of Korean occupational bus drivers. Based on the job performance model, we included safety participation as well as safety compliance as safety job performance. Analyses on the data from a total of 492 bus drivers showed that all HEXACO personality traits except Honesty-humility, were valid predictors for both safety compliance and safety participation. Honesty-humility was only related to safety compliance. Among the six personality traits, high conscientiousness and low emotionality were best predictors of safety job performance. As for traffic accidents, conscientiousness was a sole significant predictor. Furthermore, the mediation analysis showed that the effect of conscientiousness on traffic accidents was completely explained by safety compliance and safety participation. The implications of the current findings for practice and future research as well as the limitations of the current study were discussed.
