ABSTRACT Policymakers are increasingly concerned that employees need both foundational skills, such as numeracy, and soft skills to take better advantage of new technologies and adapt to changing work. In this study, we examined the relationships between the use of soft skills and occupational outcomes among a nationally representative sample of adult workers in the United States. Based on our analysis of PIAAC data, we found that even after accounting for numeracy skill and university degrees, there were positive, statistically significant relationships between the use of soft skills (i.e. Readiness to Learn; Influence; Planning; and Task Discretion) and workers’ occupational outcomes. Our findings also suggested that, relative to university graduates, adult workers without university degrees tend to have higher occupational status if they more frequently exercise soft skills.

研究有或没有大学学位的美国成年人的软技能与职业结局之间的关系

摘要决策者越来越担心员工需要基本技能（例如计算能力）和软技能，以更好地利用新技术并适应变化的工作。在这项研究中，我们研究了美国成年工人的全国代表性样本中软技能的使用与职业成果之间的关系。根据我们对PIAAC数据的分析，我们发现，即使算出了算术技能和大学学位，在使用软技能（即，学习准备，影响力，计划和任务自由裁量权）与员工之间也存在积极的，统计学上显着的关系。职业成果。我们的研究结果还表明，相对于大学毕业生，
