【 摘 要 】

The study examined the effect of the big five personality traits on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among healthcare workers in Kenya. The study utilized a correlational descriptive study design and collected data using a self-administered questionnaire. In all, 252 healthcare workers comprising Medical doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Lab Technologist participated in the study. Using descriptive statistics and multi-linear regression analysis, the study showed significant relations between the Big Five personality traits with job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Openness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism have a positive relation with organizational commitment while extraversion and Neuroticism also have a positive relation with job satisfaction. More so, a positive relationship was found between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This finding suggests that employees who exhibit the traits of openness, neuroticism, extraversion and conscientiousness turn to find a greater sense of commitment and job satisfaction to the Healthcare organizations. The implication of the results will be useful to hospital administrators and the healthcare industry in general.
