Listed in ZivaHub and Deakin Research Online — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1080/09538259.2025.2493267
<p dir="ltr">This study assesses the impact of personality traits and personal beliefs on employment status (e.g., unpaid employment/unemployment, part-time paid job, full-time paid job, and self-employment) in Qatar and Kuwait.
Description
We use data from the World Values Survey to estimate an ordered logit regression. Our findings point to the positive effect on employment status (e.g., self-employment) for hard work and achievement and support for imagination.
The internal locus of control is found to have an inverse U-shape relation with employment. The results show that people with higher religiosity favor flexible work environments. This study contributes to the literature by providing a deeper analysis of the impact of these factors.

It, therefore, provides several solutions and policy recommendations for improving employment/self-employment outcomes.</p><h2 dir="ltr">Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Review of Political Economy<br>License: <a href="creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="dx.doi.org/10.1080/09538259.2025.2493267" target="_blank">dx.doi.org/10.1080/09538259.2025.2493267</a></p>
