the different personality traits are described as follows:
Openness to experience
The openness to experience is defined as the general appreciation that has been
provided to the individuals for art, adventure, emotion as well as unusual ideas or the kind of
curiosity of the individuals for the different situations as well. The individuals who are open

openness to different kinds of challenges that are faced by them in the organization. There are
different kind of individuals who are willing to try different things at workplace and in the

These are the different kind of individuals in the organization who are open to
different kind of challenges and this will help them in being more creative as well as aware
about the different feelings perceived by them as well. There are different kinds of
individuals in the organization who score high on the openness test and this helps in
providing them the scope to enjoy different kinds of experiences as well. The openness to
experience helps in flashing the different level of the intellectual curiosity of the individuals
in the organization.
This can be elaborated as the scope wherein the individual is independent or
imaginative in their thoughts and this helps in portraying the personal preference of the
individuals for different kinds of activities over a scheduled routine (Spain, Harms and
LeBreton 2014). It even includes curiousness or inventiveness that is contrast to the

as well as prioritizing the different activities according to the importance of the tasks. This is
the personality trait that helps in understanding the behavior of the individuals about the
efficiency that is required wherein the individuals are honest as well as cautious in nature.
This is the kind of personality trait wherein proper planning is required as it is essential in
nature and it is helpful in solving such issues as well (Peng et al. 2016). It helps in contrasting
with the organized as well as efficient behavior or the careless behavior of the individuals.
(Stoughton, Thompson and Meade 2013).
Extraversion
This is the kind of trait of the personality of the individuals in the organization that
helps in understanding the tendency of the individuals of being cooperative as well as this
will help in generating positive energy as well as tendency of the individuals to explore
stimulation in the organization as well. These individuals contradict with the energetic or the
reserved kind of behavior of the individuals in the organization. The individuals in the
organization are the ones who are experiencing positive emotional feeling as well as the other
qualities that will help in making the individuals more influential in nature (Turró, Urbano
and Peris-Ortiz 2014).
Agreeableness
This kind of the personality trait will help in understanding the different tendencies of

and Krishna 2014).

This is the kind of behavior or the trait that will help in contradicting with the nervous

towards the other individuals in the organization will help in understanding the unpleasant
emotions of the individuals such as depression, anxiety as well as other vulnerabilities of the
individuals in the respective organization as well (Orchard, Sindakis and Ribiere 2014).
Analysis of the five personality traits
From the different personality traits of the individuals in the organization, it can be
analyzed that empathy is important as well as essential in nature in order to understand the
relationship between empathy and the big five personality traits of the individuals in the
organization. According to Zgheib (2017), the five-factor model of personality traits of the
individuals in the organization is useful in nature, as this will help in describing the different
personalities of the individuals in the different organizations.
The five-factor model of the personality traits of the individuals in the organization
helps in understanding the different correlation between the five personality traits of the
individuals along with the organizational commitment and intrapreneurial behavior of the
individuals towards the achievement of the organizational goals as well (Zajac et al. 2014).
The five-factor model of the individuals helps in understanding the different assumptions of
the trait theory. The trait theory is based on the different assumptions of the individuals in the
organization wherein the five personality traits of the individuals in the organization are
disjunctive as well as conjunctive in nature.

MANAGEMENT
Effect of FFM on intrapreneurial behavior
Intrapreneurship is the kind of behavior that is embodying taking different kinds of
risks as well as help in radical innovation of the product as well. The activities that are related
to Intrapreneurship behavior helps in improving the growth of the organization and this will
enhance the profitability of the organization as well (Zopiatis, Constanti and Theocharous
2014).
Intrapreneurship is becoming popular in nature as this will become the concern for
different organizations and this will have huge impact on the growth of the organization as
well. Due to gaining competitive advantage in the competitive market, it is essential for the
organizations to follow the intrapreneurial activities (Wille and De Fruyt 2014).
The extrovert individuals are warm, energetic as well as enthusiastic in nature as this
will help them in feeling motivated about the different kinds of tasks that are performed by
them. The extroversion is related to the intrapreneurial behavior that is positive in nature. The
individuals who are extrovert in nature tries to find different ways that will help them in
coping up with different ideas for the different problems that has been caused to them rather
than just walking away from the problems (Wihler et al. 2017). The hypothesis statement
helps in understanding that the there is a positive correlation between the extroversion as well
as intrapreneurial behavior in the organizations.
Furthermore, agreeable is the trait that is wherein the individuals in the organization
are cooperative as well as trustworthy in nature. These are the individuals who are good-
natured and they are tolerant about the different activities that have to be followed by them.
These kinds of individuals are more inclined towards the helping of other individuals in the
organization and this helps them in creating proper communication process in the entire
organization. From this particular analysis of the entire trait, this helps in understanding that

11
MANAGEMENT
agreeableness has a negative effect on the intrapreneurial behavior and they are correlated
negatively (Wayne et al. 2013).
Before approaching towards the argument that is relating to the personality traits as
well s the Intrapreneurship behavior wherein the terms has to be properly defined and this
will help in analyzing the hypothesis between the five personality traits along with the
intrapreneurial behavior. According to Oh and Wee (2016), personality is defined as the
psychology of the personality that helps in determining the behavior as well as the forms of
the personality that helps in describing the individual best. There are different kinds of
personality traits wherein few of them are positively related to each other and there are few
that are negatively related to one another.
There are different kinds of researchers who had described the risk taking as well as
the innovativeness as dimensions of the Intrapreneurship activities in the organizations.
Furthermore, it is noticeable that Intrapreneurship behavior has been given equal importance
as that of the organizational behavior as both are equally important in nature and this will
help in understanding the different dimensions of the Intrapreneurship behavior as well.
Proper development of hypothesis is conducted as this will help in understanding as well as
analyzing the issues and this will help in sorting the issues with proper hypothetical
statements and views as well (Northouse 2015).
Similarly, agreeableness is another trait of personality that includes trust, cooperative
as well as courteous behaviors. These kinds of individuals tend to be good-natured,
considerate as well as tolerant in nature. However, in contrary to this, there are different
individuals who score much less on the particular trait that are manipulated, suspicious as
well as self-centered in nature. The different creative as well as innovative ideas are regarded
as challenge to the status quo and this will interrupt the relations that are interpersonal in

12
MANAGEMENT
nature as well. Neessen et al. (2017) commented that there is importance of articulation as
well as communication as well as the social networking of the different employees in the
organization is successful kind of innovations.
Relationship between five personality traits and job satisfaction
The five-factor model is related with the overall satisfaction of the job of the
employees in the workplace. Proper satisfaction of the employees is essential in nature in the
organization, as this will help in providing motivation to the individuals as well. Furthermore,
it can be analyzed that big five personality traits of the individuals at the workplace help the
satisfied employees of the workplace to remain in the same position and this will help in
avoiding absences than the other employees who are dissatisfied in nature. The initial
research in the different research studies has helped in analyzing that the neuroticism is
negatively related with the job satisfaction of the employees in the organization but there is a
negatively relationship between the two factors (Nandan, London and Bent-Goodley 2015).
On the other hand, it can be analyzed that extraversion conscientiousness as well as
agreeableness are positively related with one another wherein proper job satisfaction is
provided to the employees in the organization as well. Furthermore, there is negligible
influence of the openness to the experience of the individuals at the workplace on the job
satisfaction of the employees (Mowday, Porter and Steers 2013).
Findings
The findings have also suggested that due to the low level of the arousability for the
individuals in the workplace. Moriano et al. (2014) commented that when the workplace is a
social environment, it is essential that the extraverted employees in the organization will have
low level of arousal at the workplace and there will be less stimulation at the workplace as
well. On the other hand, the introvert individuals will be having high or optimum level of

13
MANAGEMENT
arousal outside the organization where there will be less stimulation present in the
organization as well.
Deviations at the workplace due to five personality traits
The deviance in the workplace will occur when the individuals in the organization
voluntarily helps in pursuing different course of actions that threatens the entire well being of
the different employees at the workplace. The deviance in the workplace is related to the five
factors of the personality traits of the individuals at the workplace, as this will help in
understanding the different kind of interpersonal deviance. The deviance that is interpersonal
in nature is negatively correlated with the agreeableness that is higher in nature (Mesmer-
Magnus et al. 2017).
This helps in understanding that the the different individuals in the organization who
are the stable emotionally and conscientious are the ones who are less likely to withhold the
different efforts of the individuals in the workplace as well. The other different factor that
has to be considered is the perception of the individuals in the workplace. The employees in
the organization who are having a positive perception towards the workplace and the
different activities of the workplace are the ones who are likely to pursue the different
behavior that are deviant in nature (Li et al. 2014).
The research studies help in indicating that the personalities of the individuals are the
ones who act as the moderating factor in the organization. The deviance of the workplace will
help in endorsing with the different aspects of the individuals as well who perceive both
negative as well as positive perceptions of about the entire workplace as well, such as
wherein the emotional stability as well as the agreeableness is low in nature (Leutner et al.
2014).

14
MANAGEMENT
Performances in the workplace
There are different factors wherein the conscientiousness is the single factor in the
workplace that helps in making the performance of the job predictive in nature. The factors
are as follows:
Absences
The absence in the job is an important part of the performance of the job of the
employees in the workplace. When the employees are not performing effectively in the
organization, then it can lead to issues in the entire workplace as well. Furthermore, it can
be analyzed that neuroticism is not highly related with the absence of the employees at the
workplace (Lee and Ashton 2014).
Furthermore, the other reason for the absenteeism in the workplace by the employees
is that the individuals who are introvert in nature are the ones who are less satisfied with the
different kinds of work performed by them at the workplace as well.
On the other hand Kumar and Pathak (2017) discussed that agreeableness is related
with the different needs of the organization as this will help in providing supportive
environment at the workplace. Furthermore, Kude et al. (2017) commented that in the
empirical study, agreeableness is related negatively with the behavior that is risk taking in
nature. As due to the desire in the interpersonal harmony, the individuals with agreeable
personality may face different kinds of difficulty in properly expressing as well as generating
different kinds of thoughts that are completely different from the others. Therefore, it can be
hypothesized that agreeableness is negatively related to the intrapreneurial behavior (Kranz,
Leonhardt and Kolbe 2016).
Furthermore, there is an association between conscientiousness as well as innovation
that is vague in nature. Innovation requires the kind of behavior that is goal oriented in nature

15
MANAGEMENT
and this will help the individuals in becoming more self disciplined in nature. These different
kinds of behavior are traits of high conscientiousness kinds of individuals in the
organizations. According to Kozlowski et al. (2015), the individuals who are
conscientiousness in nature are the ones who are high risk taking performer in the
organizations and this will provide them higher level of job satisfaction. These kinds of
individuals in the organizations are the ones who are less motivated in nature in order to
search for a new job opportunity. Furthermore, it has been seen that there are individuals in
the organizations, who are having the conscientiousness trait wherein they do not prefer
performing experimentations as well as taking risks in the organization. They do not take
such risks these may cause different uncertainties as well as unexpected delays in the work
that is performed by them. Therefore, it can be analyzed that conscientiousness is the kind of
behavior that is negatively related to the intrapreneurial behavior.
Similarly, in case of the individuals who are emotionally stable, are the ones who are
calm, composed as well as self confident in nature as well, while the individuals who are
neurotic in nature are depressed as well as fearful in nature. The different kind of individuals
in the organization who are having neurotic personality, are less energetic in nature and they
do not feel like performing the work as required by them. Furthermore, there are different
kind of individuals who are scoring much less on emotional stability trait and this can cause
lack of confidence as well as they are less interested towards taking risk in completing the
different activities in the organization. However, Knote and Blohm (2016) commented that
there are different kind of individuals who are having the emotional stability trait, it is
essential for them to be effectives, fearless as well as confident about the different kinds of
task that has to be performed by them. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that emotional
stability is positively correlated to the intrapreneurial behavior of the individuals.

16
MANAGEMENT
Lastly, the openness to the experience is the most important as well as essential factor
in the five traits of personality. There is a consistent relationship between innovation as well
as the creativity. The individuals who are carrying this trait of openness to experience, they
are the ones who are broad minded as well as imaginative in nature. Innovation is the
ultimate product of different ideas that are unfamiliar in nature and the different kinds of
individuals who are scoring high on the trait named openness to experience are the ones who
have the curiosity to make the products more innovative in nature. However, on the contrary,
there are individuals in the organization who are scoring less on openness to experience and
they are the ones who are conservative in nature (Kluemper, McLarty and Bing 2015).
This kind of individuals follows different traditions as well as the norms that are
equal for everyone. They are the ones who are comfortable in following the norms as they
feel this will help them in reducing uncertainties as well as risks from the different kinds of
jobs as well. Therefore, it can be analyzed that openness to experience is positively correlated
to the risk taking abilities of the individuals. The hypothesis helps in understanding that there
is positive correlation between openness to experience as well as intrapreneurial behavior.
The big give personality traits helped in understanding that creativity has a major role to play
in the intrapreneurial behavior of the individuals in the different organizations as well as in
their personal life as well.
Creativity is referred to the potentiality of the individuals in generating positive ideas
about the different issues that are faced by them. Furthermore, based on the trait performance
as well as the creativity in the organization, it is essential that proper theoretical framework
has to be developed as this will help in understanding the interaction between the variables of
motivation along with personality traits of the individuals.

17
MANAGEMENT
There are different kinds of scholars who are able to demonstrate the creative
performance of the intrapreneurs as well as the big five personality traits of the individuals in
the organization as well as in the daily life. There has been proper hypothesis conducted on
the big five personality traits as well as on the individual creativity. According to the theory
of goal setting, it is analyzed that proper behavior of the individuals helps in reflecting
different intentions as well as goals that has been set by them. According to Kehoe and
Wright (2013), motivation has a crucial role in the performance of the individuals in the
organizations and this will help in setting appropriate standards as to achieve proper goals in
the organization. This will help in enhancing the inner resources that are required as this will
help in developing proper self-regulatory behavioral approach.
There are different researchers who have been able to identify the distinct forms of the
motivation that is intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation helps in
understanding the natural inclination towards the different kinds of interest as well as
exploration that will help in representing the critical source of vitality as well as enjoyment.
This kind of motivation helps the intrapreneurs in the organization in developing proper
success rates and this helps the organization in generating proper performance in the future as
well.
On the other hand, extrinsic motivation is the kind of motivation that helps in
understanding the inclination of the individuals towards performing the tasks as this will help
them in attaining some consequences that are separable in nature that includes verbal as well
as tangible rewards. These kinds of motivations help the individual employees in the
organization to behave according to the self-regulation as well as behave in order to the self
regulation that will help them in achieving proper goals in the organization.

18
MANAGEMENT
The motivational factors has huge role in the intrapreneurial behavior along with the
five big personality traits as this will help in analyzing the issues that are faced by the
individuals in the organization and this will help in behaving as per the motivational factors.
Both the intrinsic as well as the extrinsic motivation has huge influence on the creative
performance of the employees, as this will help them in generating high level of energy along
with understanding their own creativity effects on the different tasks that has been performed
by them. Proper hypothesis has been created as this will help them in creating moderate
relationship between the creative performance of the different individuals as well as the big
five personality traits of the individuals (Judge et al. 2014).
Furthermore, while establishing a new model or theory, it is essential in nature to
consider the compatibility as well as the psychological theories. Judge and Zapata (2015)
proposed that the structure of the entire personality is best conceptualized with the creative
performance of the individuals. The Big five personality traits has huge influence on the
intrapreneurial behavior the individuals as this will help them in understanding the creativity
and this will help them in searching for the different factors that are suitable with the method
or the procedure that has been adopted by them in the organization.
A successful psychological model or theory has the proper capability in order to apply
in the different organizational activities as this will help them in maintaining proper
consistency in the organization. The intrapreneurs have to be provided with proper
opportunity in the organization and this will help them in measuring the level of reliability of
the individuals in the organization as well (Jehanzeb, Rasheed and Rasheed 2013).
The big five personality traits of the individuals need to be analyzed by the
organizations as this will help them in gaining proper competitive advantage and this will
help in analyzing the issues that are faced by the intrapreneurs and solve them properly as this

19
MANAGEMENT
will help them in solving such issues without many hindrances. With proper implementation
of the five personality traits, it is assumed that proper job satisfaction is provided to the
individuals in the organization and this will help them in achieving proper goals in the
organization as well.
The big five personality traits need to be properly analyzed with the implementation
of the changing environment at the workplace. Intrapreneurship is the type of behavior that is
acting like the entrepreneur in the organization and achieving proper goals as well. The
proper innovation or the innovative ideas along with the creativity plays a major role in the
intrapreneurial behavior in the organizations and this will help the intrapreneurs to showcase
their personality traits.
However, as per the hypothesis that has been done regarding the intrapreneurial
behavior as well as the Big Five Personality Traits, it can be assumed that there is a proper
positive relationships in some cases as well as there are different traits that has negative
correlations with the intrapreneurial behavior. It is essential for the managers in the
organizations to prioritize the Intrapreneurship behavior along with satisfaction of job that is
correlated with each other, as this will help the organizations along with the intrapreneurs in
the organization to properly portray their issues and the grievances that are faced by them.
Through analyzing the personality traits, it can be analyzed that the intrapreneurs in
the organization needs to understand the issues and proper clarity is required as well in their
thoughts in order to solve such issues within stipulated time frame.
Effect of Five Factor Model on Organizational Commitment
The five factor model helps in analyzing the different levels of the big five personality
traits of an individual in the organization. Organizational commitment is defined as the bond

20
MANAGEMENT
that is experienced by the different employees in the organization with the tasks that are
performed by them in different organizations. The employees in the organization who are
committed to the entire organization, there is a special bond that is felt by them while
performing different tasks in the entire organization as well (Heinze and Weber 2015).
Three different kinds of commitment towards job are described as follows:
Normative commitment is defined as the kind of commitment wherein the
employees feel a proper sense of obligation towards the entire company. This obligation
exists within the employees as they feel that they can implement better opportunities in other
fields, however there is sense of obligation that affects the motive of the individuals and
he/she feels the thing that he/she is performing is the right thing that is done by him for the
entire organization (Healey, Vuori and Hodgkinson 2015).
Affective commitment is defined as the kind of organizational commitment that is
felt by the employees of the organization when there is an emotional attachment of the
employees for their tasks in the organization as well as for the entire organization as well. Job
satisfaction arises for the employees and by the employees when they are able to perform the
different kinds of task in the organization of their choices (Harari, Rudolph and Laginess
2015).
Continuance commitment is defined as the process of commitment that usually
occurs when there is sense of obligation in the entire company or when the employees are
unhappy with the different kinds of role that are assigned to them as well. The different
severity of losses increases with the experience as well as the age. The example of normative
commitment is when the employees performs well but there are few issues that are faced by
the employees of a company wherein in order to succeed and perform well in the

21
MANAGEMENT
organization as well as to get promotion in the organization, the employees are always in a
fear to perform better to achieve positive results.
Analysis of the organizational commitment along with the five factor model
From the analysis of the organizational commitment, it can be identified that proper
and affective commitment is essential in nature, as this will help in developing proper and
greater job satisfaction. Proper ascertainments are required as this can help me in
experiencing greater benefit and manage proper normative as well as continuous commitment
as well. In different organizations, human resource is the most important resource of the
entire organization. The managers of the different organizations have realized that human
resources of the organization plays a major role in gaining proper competitive advantage
among the other competitors in the organization as well. The organizational commitment is
defined as the proper attitude that is required in order to properly continue employment in the
respective organizations.
The organizational committed employees are valuable in nature as this helps in
bringing positive impact on the entire organization as well. This kind of commitment of the
employees in the entire organization will help in achieving positive performance in the
organization along with generating huge amount of productivity in the organization as well.
Proper and affective commitment in the organization will help in generating effective and
efficient process of communication in the entire organization as well.
A relationship exists between the five-factor model as well as the organizational
commitment of the employees. There is different kind of researches that has commented that
there is a positive kind of relationship exists between the organizational commitment of the
employees as well as the five-factor model of the personality traits. The findings have also

22

suggested that the individuals who possess the different traits of openness, extraversion,
conscientiousness as well as neuroticism in the organizations (Gupta 2016).
Relationship between three models of organizational commitment
The organizational commitment is one of the most popular construct that is
psychological in nature helps in understanding that proper job satisfaction plays a vital role in
the entire process of management. The organizational commitment is defined as one of the
job attitudes that help in examining the different association towards the five factor model of
the personality traits (Guchait, Tews and Simons 2014). The first and foremost factor of the
personality traits help in understanding that there is a proper linkage between the
organizational commitment of the employees as well as the big five personality traits of the
organization as well.
Different research studies
There have been few studies in the past that has carried out in order to properly
investigate that there is a proper as well as positive relationship between the extroversion,
normative commitment as well as affective commitment. The continuous commitment have a
proper relationship among the others, however there are few issues that can lead to problems
in the organization commitment. Furthermore, there are different studies as well wherein
continuance as well as normative commitment has been positively linked with one another as
well as to conscientiousness and neuroticism respectively.
On the other hand, few studies revealed that the employees in the organization who
score high on the openness as well undervalue the different things that are valued by the other
individuals such as informal as well as formal rewards. According to Guchait, Lei and Tews
(2016), employees who score high on the neuroticism and openness approach helps in

23
MANAGEMENT
understanding that there is a positive relationship exists between the five traits of the
personality of the individual as well as the organizational commitment of the employees as
well. From the argument, this can be concluded that employees of the organization are
positively related to different normative as well as continuance kind of organizational
commitment. However, on the other hand, there is negatively relation between the affective
commitment as the normative and continuance commitment of the organization is based on a
certain objective that does not have a positive approach towards the organizational
commitment as well.
Furthermore, the extrovert employees in the organization are generally positively
linked with the continuance commitment and this will help in understanding that proper
commitment is essential in the organization and this will have huge influence on the
motivation of the employees as well. On the other hand, the extrovert employees of the
organization are not positively linked with the employees and they have negatively related
with the normative commitment as well.
Extrovert employees of the organizations are emotionally involved with the
environment of their organization. Due to the energetic as well as social behavior of the
different employees in the organization, this will help in making those employees more
influenced in nature. The different studies related to the relation between the five factor
model as well as organizational commitment, it can be analyzed that notion helps in
understanding that employees of different organizations would score much higher on the
continuance commitment that is one of the organizational commitments as well (Grohs,
Schneiders and Heinze 2016).

MANAGEMENT
Characteristics of the five factor model in personality traits
It is also found that neuroticism kind of employees usually showed nervousness as
well as lack of confidence among the employees and this has a positive kind of relationship
among the employees of the organization as well. From the above analysis, it can be
understood that there are different hypothesis for the above study that are described as
follows:
 There is a proper and significant relationship between the big five personality traits of
the organization as well as the organizational commitment of the employees
 There is significant as well as proper relationship that exists between the employees
as well as the affective commitment
 There is a significant and proper relationship that exists between continuance
improvement as well as the personality traits of the individuals in the organization
 There is a significant kind of relationship that exists between the personality traits of
the employees in the organization along with the normative commitment of the
employees in the organization (Gómez and Azanza 2014)
Proper retention of the highly committed employees in the organization is the most
essential element that has to be properly maintained by the organization. The plethora of the
entire research helped in understanding that in the field of the organizational behavior and
commitment, proper success has to be achieved with proper implementation of different
strategies. Among the different antecedents that have been recognized, apart from the
personality traits, majority of the personality traits of the individuals are experiential as well
as situational in nature (Georgellis 2015).
The different results from the studies helped in understanding that these are the
different kinds of studies helped in examining the dispositional antecedents that includes

25
MANAGEMENT
inconclusive findings in the future. Additionally, it can be analyzed that there is a generation
of doubt in the organization that will help in understanding the different doubts in the
organization regarding the disposable factors in the organization.
The concept of organizational commitment helped in understanding that three
dimensions of the organizational commitment helped in achieving proper success as well as
attaining proper productivity for the entire organization as well. The five factor model of the
personality traits helped in understanding that proper commitment in the organizational
activities as this will help in achieving proper success and productivity in the organization
(Gawke, Gorgievski and Bakker 2017). The negative as well as positive influences of the
organizational commitment has different kinds of influences as well as effects on the
different personality traits of the individuals in the different kinds of organizations. The
organizational employees needs to properly analyze that there can be issues when there is
lack of organizational commitment among the employees.
The organizational commitment of the employees in the organization will affect the
entire performance of the organization along with the respective individual. The
organizational employees have to understand the different issues that can be faced by them in
the future and take proper and necessary actions regarding such issues as well. Proper
conscientiousness of the employees in the organization will have a huge influence on the
contextual performance of all the employees in the organization. The performance of the
different employees in the organization depends on the different kinds of tasks that are
performed by them. This will help in analysis of the big five personality traits of the
individuals in the organization along with their commitment towards the organization (Fu
and Deshpande 2014).

26
MANAGEMENT
The big five personality traits of the individuals in the organizations help in
understanding the different kinds of behavior that are presented by them in different kinds of
situations or circumstances as well. The individual who want to learn the different new things
in the organization and enjoys different kinds of new experiences are usually the ones who
scores high in the openness test of the organization. Furthermore, this kind of openness trait
of the individual in the organization will have huge influence on the organizational
commitment on the employees (Farooq et al. 2014).
Similarly, the individuals of the organization who are conscientiousness in nature

reliable in nature. This kind of traits is methodic, thorough as well as organized in nature as
well. This kind of trait helps in organization commitment of the employees as well as the job
satisfaction is provided to the employees with proper reliability (Dovey and Rembach 2015).
On the other hand, the individuals in the organization who are having the trait known
as extraversion helps in understanding that these are the individuals who get proper energy in
order to properly interact with the other individuals in the organization. However, on the
other hand, there are individuals who are the ones who do not interact much with the other
individuals and they are ones who stay to themselves (Dovey and McCabe 2014). The
extraversion traits of the employees in the organization are the ones who are assertive as well
as talkative in nature.
From the above trait of personality, it can be analyzed that the extraversion trait has
huge influence on the organizational commitment of the employees in the organization as
well. The extrovert employees help in achieving proper goals as well as they help in
increasing the productivity of the organization as well. The organizational commitment helps
in receiving proper achievements in the entire organization as well (Dhar 2015).

27
MANAGEMENT
Similarly, the individuals who are agreeable in nature are the ones who will help in
understanding the different traits of the individuals such as compassionate, cooperative as
well as friendly in nature as well. On the other hand, the individuals with low agreeableness
are the ones who are more distant in nature as well. These are the individuals who are
affectionate as well as kind in nature. These kind of individuals in the organization helps in
achieving proper organizational objectives with proper commitment towards the entire
organization as well as they are the ones who receive proper satisfaction from their job in
different organizations (Dentchev et al. 2016).
Furthermore, neuroticism is another personality trait of the individuals in the
organizations as they are the ones who help in understanding the bringing positivity as well
as stability in the organizational culture. The neuroticism is the personality trait that is also
known as emotional stability of the individuals in the different kinds of organizations. The
neuroticism trait of the personality of the individuals will help in relating towards the
emotional stability of the individuals in the organization along with the degree of negative
emotions. This is the dimension that helps the individuals in relating to the different emotions
such as positive as well as negative stability of the individuals in the organizations.

performance of the individuals as well. However, there are different impacts on the entire
work performance of the individuals with different traits of personality in the organization
(Chun et al. 2013).
Although the job performances of the individuals in the organization are closely
related with the different traits of the individuals in the workplace, it can be analyzed that the
different factors include agreeableness, extraversions as well conscientiousness of the
individuals in the organizations (Choi, Oh and Colbert 2015). The previous research studies
has helped in implementing that cognitive ability of the individuals in the workplace is one of
the predictors for the proper completion of the different tasks successfully in the organization.
The cognitive ability of the individuals in the organization plays a vital and essential role in
the organization and this will be requiring proper decision making facility and the

workplace along with the personality of the individuals at the workplace. The job satisfaction
along with the five personality traits of the individuals at the workplace has huge influence on

According to Carter et al. (2015), the personality of the individuals in the workplace
