Pearson correlation used to analyze the data. Results show that, neuroticism/emotional stability was associated with low job satisfaction (r = −0/713, P < 0/01). Also conscientiousness (r = 0/620) and agreeableness (r = 0/476) was significantly correlated with job satisfaction (P < 0/01). But the relationship between extraversion (r = −0/025) and openness to experience (r = 0/061) with job satisfaction was not significant.
