This study adopted a quantitative research approach and used convenience sampling technique to select the respondents. Four hundred and fifty data were collected from seven different telecommunication companies in Pakistan and were analysed using SPSS and PLS-SEM. It is found that there are positive relationships between self-efficacy, personality traits (except neuroticism), expected reward and KSB in Pakistan telecommunication industry.
