Abstract
Extended AbstractThe purpose of this study is to find out the influence of personality traits in the field prefences of students of transport services. For this purpose, students of Amasya University Taşova Vocational School make up the sample of the study. A quantitative pattern was established as the work method and the questionnaire technique was pisked as the data collection method. The data was obtained in the Spring of 2015-2016, and collected face to face between the dates 01.05.2016-20.05.2016. The data obtained was analysed via SPSS-22.In the study, the questionnaire developed by Kusluvan (2000) was edited according the purpose of the study. In addition to this, the statements about transport services were adapted from the questionnaire developed by Bilgin (2011). The data obtained from the questionnaire was subjected to frequency analysis and factor analysis.When looked at the genders of the students participating in the study, the percentage of women is 24,2 while the percentage of men is 75,8. It was concluded that the majority of the students participating in the study were male. The reason for this can be explained by the fact that the majority of transport services students are male. When looked at another variable, the age factor, it can be said that the majority is between ages 17-22 (83,1 %). While most of the students studying the field can be classified as youth, there are 19 students between ages 23-28 (15,3 %). When we analyse the marital statuses of the students; we can conclude that 4 students are married and 120 students are bachelors. When evaluating the income status; while the ratio of students with incomes between 0-500 TL is 71%, the following income status is 1000 TL and above that is (13,7 %). And in the field analysis, it can be seen that the post services and bus captaincy programs both have62 students each. While the number of first year students are 58, the number of second year students are 66.The analysis for field preferences showed that 100 students (80,6 %) chose this field willingly, while 24 students (19,4 %) didn’t originally prefer this field. According to the answers to the question “Did you have any information about the field prior to entering,” 86 students had information about the field prior to entering, while 38 students didn’t have information. While 91 students said yes to the question asking if their social circles had any effect on their preferences, 33 students said no. 56,5 % (70 people) of the students mentioned that their grades from YGS had influence on ther choice. Beside this, the right to do civil work had an effect of 94,4 % while the job openings in the private sectore had an effect of 55,6 %.The personality traits were separated as positive and negative, and according to the analysis of positive personality traits, the statement “I’m generally a trustworthy person” was determined to be the most preferred personality trait with a 51,6 % rate. With this, the statement “I see myself as a trustworthy employee” had 43,5 %, the statement “I make sure to complete an assignment” had 38,7 %, “I see myself as a beneficial and helpful individual” had 37,1% rate. The least preferred statements of positive personality traits were “I see myself as someone with artistic and aesthetical values” 11,3 %, “I see myself as someone equipped” 13,7 %, “I don’t get angry easily” 16,1 %.According to the analysis done on negative personality traits, the following statements were the most preferred statements; “I always daydream on job” with 29,8 %, “I easily get angry” with 22,2 %, “I’m sometimes hesitant and timid” with 22,6 % rates. Parallel to this, “I’m inclined to find others’ mistakes” had 6,5 %, “I see myself as someone shunned” had 6,5 %, “I always argue with people” had 9,7 %, “I see myself as someone careless” had 10,5 % rates.When the participants’ personality traits are evaluated by factoral analysis, it can be seen that the highest factor loadings belong to the following statements in order; “transport services require long working hours,” “my personality traits are compatible with this occupation,” “my skills are compatible with this occupation,” “the oppurtunity to start working early has influence on my choice.” IntroductionThis research aims to reveal the personality traits of transport services students influential on their choice of field. For this purpose, the answers to the following questions were seeked:1- What are the positive and negative personality traits of transport services students?2- What are the participants’ opinion of transport services?3- What are the factors affecting the participants’ choice of field?4- Does gender have an effect on the participants’ choice of field?Looking at the literature, it can be seen that there are not sufficient research on transport services students yet. It is thought that the study will be valuable with this aspect and will contribute to the literature. MethodsIn the scope of the study, national and international literature was scanned.
