Abstract

This study analyzed latent profiles based on career aspiration and person‐job/organization fit and examined differences in job satisfaction and turnover intention. Data were collected from 1621 workers who graduated from vocational high schools in South Korea. Four profiles emerged: moderate career aspiration–moderate fit, low career aspiration–low fit, high career aspiration–high fit, and very high career aspiration–very high fit. Job satisfaction and turnover intention were highest in the very high class and lowest in the low class. Although job satisfaction differed between the high and very high classes, no significant difference was observed in turnover intention. These results imply that vocational high schools should provide practical experiences, strengthen career counseling, and establish support systems to help graduates adapt successfully to the workplace.
