The Influence of Personality Types and Perceived Organizational Support on Organizational Performance

Abstract

This study examined the influence of personality types and perceived organizational support on organizational performance with the purpose of investigating the relationship between personality types (extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience & neuroticism) and job performance, the relationship between perceived social support and job performance, the different between male and female on job performance behaviour, the influence of age on job performance, the role of education on job performance. 264 individuals participated in this study (Male 167 and Female 97). Survey design was used for this study and convinces sampling technique was used in collecting data. A questionnaire was used in collecting data and Pearson moment correlation and independent t-test were used to test the stated hypotheses. The study tested five hypotheses, but three were accepted while two were rejected. The result revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience and job performance. There is also a significant positive relationship between perception and job performance. However, there were no significant differences between male and female participants on job performance and age and educational attainment do not play a significant role on job performance. The discussion of the finding was done based on related literature reviewed.
