Abstract/Summary:
The involuntary temporary employee profile created by the literature and the assessment of the Big Five personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness produced findings that indicated that personality type predicts some of the facets of relational component psychological contract violation perception. Summarily, Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Conscientiousness were negatively predictive of the potential for relational component psychological contract violation perception to occur across certain facets of trust, uncertainty, and erosion, while Openness and Agreeableness proved to be positively predictive. The managerial implications of this study are in the areas of recruitment, selection, diversity, and dynamics of organizational culture because it provides an awareness of the correlation between perception and personality that can assist organizations in maximizing employee organizational fit.
