| Abstract: | This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2023 to investigate the impact of personality factors on workplace employees' performance. The purpose of the study is to determine whether aspects of personality have a major impact on improving worker performance in various organizational contexts. Reputable electronic databases were searched extensively for relevant publications. Out of the 896 records that were first found, 81 pertinent studies were chosen as a consequence of the review procedure, which followed PRISMA 2023 recommendations. The results show that extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience, and emotional stability—five fundamental personality traits—have a beneficial impact on task, adaptive, and contextual performance, among other aspects of professional performance. On the other hand, there was a persistent negative correlation between neuroticism and performance outcomes. These findings highlight how important personality is in influencing worker productivity and behavior in a variety of organizational settings. The study's conclusions imply that companies ought to use personality tests in their hiring, team-building, and performance-management plans. Employers can improve employee engagement, job happiness, and overall performance by matching individual personality profiles with job positions and workplace expectations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
