A Study on the Job Conflict Experience of Personal Color Consultants with 2~3 Years of Experience

This study aims to examine the characteristics of personal color consultants and to explore their job conflict experiences, coping strategies, and its meanings. To this end, this study limitedly included consultants with 2 to 3 years of career experience, when consultants are generally found to feel confused about work situations with different ideals and realities, and have variable attitudes with undeveloped job values, as the difficulties and perspectives differ depending on the career development stage. A total of 8 personal color consultants with 2 to 3 years of career experience were included as participants, and data on their job conflict experiences were collected through in-depth interviews. The collected data were analyzed with Colaizzi's phenomenological research method. As a result, a total of 107 structural meanings, 37 themes, and 12 theme groups were derived. The analysis results were summarized and presented in the following sections : Consultant characteristics, Job conflict experience, and Job conflict coping strategies.
