One of the most well-known findings in the field of personality is that high conscientiousness and low neuroticism are related to job performance (Hurtz & Donovan, 2000) and career success (Judge et al., 1999). It is noteworthy that meta-analytic research also demonstrated that these same two FFM traits are related to performance motivation(Judge & Ilies, 2002) and to satisfaction at work (Judge, Heller, & Mount, 2002). Moreover, these results conform to meta-analytic correlations between the FFM traits and life satisfaction (DeNeve & Cooper, 1998). So, prior research provides evidence of relatively robust relations between specific FFM traits (conscientiousness and neuroticism) and motivation, satisfaction, and performance.
