commitment is a key factor in organizational success, the research aims to investigate how
different personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness,
and emotional stability, influence the level of commitment exhibited by junior staff members.
The study adopted a quantitative research approach, utilizing surveys to gather data from a
sample of junior staff at the university. Structured questionnaire was admitted on 102
respondents to elicit their opinions on the study variables. Statistical analyses were conducted to
assess the strength and nature of the relationship between the personality traits and employees’
organizational commitment.
The findings provide valuable insights into how personality factors affect job satisfaction,
loyalty, and engagement, contributing to a deeper understanding of employee behavior within
the academic environment.
The research concludes with recommendations for human resource practices that could enhance
