The Relationship between Personality Traits and Job Satisfaction of Teachers

Abstract

Persons that show discontentment with their work have a bigger chance to experience burnout syndrome, depression, anxiety and the lack of self-esteem. Paul Spector defined job satisfaction as "the thing that people feel about their job and different aspects of the same." There is much research in a domain of industrial-organizational psychology that has been questioning relationships between job satisfaction and specific personality traits. Most of those researches confirm the fact that some of personality traits are significant predictors in job satisfaction.
