Employee Personality and Turnover Intentions

This study aimed to: 1. Measure the reliability of Big 5 personality traits and employee turnover intention variables. 2. Analyze the associations between Big 5 personality traits (emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion, openness to experience) and employee turnover intentions among higher education teaching staff in Gwalior. The researchers hypothesized relationships between each personality trait and turnover intentions. A survey was administered and data was analyzed using reliability analysis and correlation analysis. Results supported hypotheses that emotional stability is negatively correlated with turnover intentions, while agreeableness, extroversion, and openness are positively correlated. Conscientiousness was found to be negatively correlated as well.
