Abstract:
Job Involvement has become a popular topic in t Human Resource Management as
well as the modern business context. Presently, many organizations pay their attention
on employee Job Involvement since it is a crucial factor for any organization’s
success. The researcher carried out a pilot survey and revealed that there is lack of job
involvement within the employees of Brandix Apparel Solutions Limited – Intimate
Apparel (BASL-IA) in Walisara. Based on the literature, the researcher has used Big
Five Personality Traits to find out whether there is an impact on employee job
involvement. Among 702 employees in BASL-IA, 200 employees were taken as the
sample using stratified sampling method and data was gathered through a self
administrated questionnaire. Data was analyzed using multiple regression by taking
job involvement as dependent variable and neuroticism, extroversion, openness to
experience, conscientiousness, and agreeableness as independent variables which are
Big Five Personality Traits by taking the support of Statistical Package for Social
Sciences (SPSS) 21.The results of the study conveyed that there is a positive impact
of extroversion, openness to experience, and conscientiousness on job involvement
while neuroticism reported a negative impact on job involvement. Further, it was
revealed that there is no any impact of agreeableness on job involvement. Among the
significant personality traits extroversion trait was found as highly affected trait on
employee job involvement. From the study, it was recommended to the management
of BASL-IA to consider the employee personality traits more when they formulate
personal development plans, training sessions, and job roles to employees.
