Description
Summary:This study explored and described which elements in Big Five Personality traits that have an impact toward job performance among support staff at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Big Five Personality trait which includes Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Openness to Experience and Extraversion plays an essential role in addressing the issues of employees’ job performance (Barrick & Mount, 2001). Although most of the previous study found that Neuroticism has negative correlation toward employees’ job performance. To the end, this paper presents the results of a survey that neuroticism has negative relationship compared to other traits (conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience and extraversion) that have positive relationship toward job performance. However, this study recommended conducting another similar study to the private sector. Thus, it will give different results because of the difference in background and thinking.
