Summary: | Research on employee well-being has predominantly focused on health and individuals’ work lives.Complementing past research on employee well-being, the impact of personality on overall well-being was
examined.The objectives of the study were to determine the relationship between personality domains (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and well-being.It was also aimed at determining significant personality domains that contribute towards well-being of lecturers. A total of 117 lecturers from a public university in Malaysia were chosen as participants.The NEO-FFI Personality Inventory
by Costa and McCrae (1992) was utilized to measure five personality domains while The 5F Wellness by Myers and Sweeney (2005) was
employed to measure well-being.Results indicated that all personality domains correlated significantly with well-being.Openness to experience and conscientiousness were found to contribute significantly to well-being of lecturers followed by extraversion.The impact of these findings signifies that personality plays an important role in determining individual well
-being. |
