| Summary: | Past research has found that personality assist us in coping with job stressors and boost
performance. In the current study, we aim to examine whether age or personality has a stronger
role in predicting job satisfaction and job stress. We proposed that higher agreeableness and
older adult will have higher job satisfaction. We also proposed that individuals with higher
neuroticism and younger employees will have higher stress with their job. One hundred and
thirty-one full time employees (64 males, 67 females) aged between 18 to 65 years old from
Malaysia were recruited. Participants completed the Big Five Inventory, Facet Satisfaction
Scale, Perceived Stress Scale and demographic form. Findings indicated that higher
agreeableness predicted higher job satisfaction while higher neuroticism predicted higher job
stress. Personality played a stronger role than age in predicting job satisfaction and job stress.
The paper further suggested to research on the impact of personality and age on employee
retention rate. |
