The Impacts of Personality Traits and Goal Commitment on Employees' Job Satisfaction
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of personality traits, such as self-efficacy and locus of control, on job satisfaction, and examined the mediating impact of goal commitment on relationships between personality traits and job satisfaction.Abstract:
The present research investigates the effects of personality traits, such as self-efficacy and locus of control, on job satisfaction. It also examines the mediating impact of goal commitment on relationships between personality and job satisfaction. The results indicate that both self-efficacy and locus of control are positively associated with goal commitment. In addition, locus of control is found positively related to job satisfaction. However, self-efficacy does not have the same positive relationship with job satisfaction. The study further confirms the mediating effect of goal commitment on relationships between personality traits and job satisfaction.read more
