Beyond Skills: The Role of Values in Job Seeking in the Era of Industry 5.0
conference paper
Jobseekers typically not only seek job vacancies matching their skills but also a company aligning with their values. This relates to Industry 5.0, a European Commission initiative emphasizing a more fulfilling role for workers. This study explores the relationship between skills and values in job vacancy selection and suggests several ways in combining these aspects for decision making. The first baseline system only uses skills, the second assigns equal importance to both skills and values, and the third, a hybrid intelligence system, leverages Pareto Optimality, leaving the ultimate decision on the trade-off between skills match versus values match to the jobseeker. Additionally, a small scale user study explores the impact of values on vacancy selection and evaluates the proposed matching systems. The results show that, participants seek a balanced trade-off between both skills and values. Accordingly, systems considering both skills and values outperform the baseline system. The system with equal weights and the Pareto optimality-based system have similar performances, possibly due to the large overlap in their output. Future work with more participants in a real-world application is needed to further validate our first exploration of the relationship between skills and values. © 2024 The Authors.
