Data for the link between HEXACO personality traits and job search outcomes in Vietnam

Abstract

The purpose of this research data is to mention a correlation matrix of data-analytic estimates between the HEXACO personality traits and number of job interviews and job offers through job search networking behavior. The data-analytic correlations are based on 773 graduated students in universities in the North of Vietnam. This data used self-report surveys to collect the data. The data was analyzed using the AMOS software version 22. The obtained data indicated that the level of networking behavior positively affects both number of job interviews and job offers of individuals. Moreover, the acquired data revealed that the personality traits of honesty-humility, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience are positively related to the level of networking behavior, while emotionality is negatively associated with networking intensity.
