The Effects of Hairdresser’s First Job Satisfaction in Foreign Countries on Reemployment Intention

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how the first overseas job satisfaction of hairdressers affects overseas reemployment intention. For this study, 121 hairdressers who are working for Korean hair salons in Australia and Singapore were surveyed. The results of this study were as follows: First, the sub-factors of the first overseas job satisfaction of hairdressers were shown as 5 factors: satisfaction of experiences, satisfaction of salon environments, satisfaction of salon welfare, satisfaction of reputation, and satisfaction of working conditions. Second, multiple regression analysis showed that satisfaction of experiences (β=.649, t=6.934***) and satisfaction of reputation (β=.341, t=3.867***) had positive effects on overseas reemployment intention, but satisfaction of salon welfare (β=.341, t=-3.867***) had a negative effect on overseas reemployment intention.
