Abstract

The post-90s have become the main force of the employees. Their job satisfaction is not only related to their own career development, but also to the future development of enterprises. The objective of this paper is to analyze how non cognitive competence affects job satisfaction of young employees. Based on the Big Five Model, with statistical analysis method, econometric regression analysis method, this study used the China family panel survey data (CFPS) to investigate the impact of post-90s non-cognitive competence on job satisfaction. The results show that non-cognitive competence has a steady and significant impact on post-90s job satisfaction. Neuroticism has a significant negative effect on post-90s employees' job satisfaction. Agreeableness, responsibility and extraversion have a significant positive effect on post-90s job satisfaction. The gender-based analysis shows that neuroticism has the greatest impact on female employees' job satisfaction, and agreeableness has the greatest impact on male employees, which is related to the psychological characteristics of men and women and the main content of work. This study reveals the important value of non-cognitive competence in improving post-90s employee job satisfaction. In the future, schools and organizations should pay attention not only to the cultivation of students' and employees' cognitive competence such as mathematics, language and professional technology, but also more attention to the cultivation of their non-cognitive competence such as emotions and personalities.
