Structure of Personality Properties and Its Contribution to Long-Term Employability

Abstract

The paper deals with the importance of the properties that make up the structure of personality to an individual’s long-term employability. The topic is a response to an enduring problem on the labour market in Slovakia, namely unemployment of university graduates as well as problems of keeping a continuous employment. The paper is a presentation of partial results of the research project KEGA 006EU-4/2013. The relevance of single personal properties (expressed in %) for their holders’ employability is assessed by respondents from micro-enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises. The intensity of separate social skills for their holders’ employability is established on the basis of research results.
