| Summary: | E-sports, a rapidly growing industry, requires a deep understanding of players’ psychological profiles to enhance their performance and well-being. Competitive e-sport players at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Seremban 3 face multifaceted challenges, including performance inconsistency, teamwork issues, stress management, motivation, and burnout. This study addresses these challenges by exploring the interplay between personality traits and goal orientation, aiming to understand how players’ psychological profiles influence these problems. Utilizing the Big Five Inventory (BFI) to assess personality traits and the Task and Ego Orientation in Sports Questionnaire (TEOSQ) to evaluate goal orientation, the research involved 136 players and employed Pearson correlation analysis. Significant correlations were found: extraversion was strongly positively correlated with task orientation (r = 0.655, p < 0.001) and moderately with ego orientation (r = 0.393, p < 0.001); agreeableness showed a moderate positive correlation with task orientation (r = 0.607, p < 0.001) and a weaker correlation with ego orientation (r = 0.404, p < 0.001); conscientiousness correlated moderately with task orientation (r = 0.553, p < 0.001) and weakly with ego orientation (r = 0.392, p < 0.001); neuroticism was moderately correlated with task orientation (r = 0.516, p < 0.001) but weakly with ego orientation (r = 0.217, p < 0.001); and openness had a high correlation with task orientation (r = 0.610, p < 0.001) and moderate with ego orientation (r = 0.445, p < 0.001). These findings highlight the importance of understanding players’ personalities to effectively address performance variability, improve teamwork, manage stress, and prevent burnout, offering insights for targeted interventions to enhance the e-sports experience and foster a resilient, competitive community at UiTM Seremban 3. |
