The Impact of the Big Five Personality Traits on College Students' Career Choice Commitment: A Case Study of Wuyi University

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Big Five Personality Traits (Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism) on college students' career choice commitment, using students from Wuyi University as the research subjects. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and factor analysis. The results show that Extraversion, Openness, and Conscientiousness have significant positive impacts on career choice commitment, while Neuroticism has a significant negative impact. Agreeableness does not have a significant impact on career choice commitment. This study provides theoretical support for understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying college students' career choice commitment and offers practical guidance for university career counseling and student career planning.
