Overall, teachers (5.84 points) placed higher than generalist employees (5.38 points) on Job Performance Attitude at a statistically meaningful level.
Teachers scored significantly higher in regulation compliance (0.80 points) and trustworthiness (0.74 points) but scored lower in passion (∇0.44 points). This reflects the highly stable nature of the occupation and must well comply to rules while on the job, as well as the repetitiveness per school year.
The Job Performance Attitude gap between teachers and general employees was highest among Baby Boomers (0.78 points), followed by Millennials (0.45 points), and Generation X (0.78 points) was the narrowest. This tendency can be interpreted as the absolute job preference in teaching slightly deteriorated as time passed, but recently rebounded.
Regionally, general employees and teachers in Seoul did not record a meaningful score gap, but Gyeonggi-Incheon, Gangwon (both 0.52 points), and Chungcheong (0.48 points) regions showed a clear gap. This suggests the need to reinforce training programs in regions outside of Seoul.
