THE STUDY OF PERSONALITY TRAITS, JOB INVOLVEMENT AND JOB SATISFACTION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEE OF NEPAL

Abstract

It was also showed that extraversion, conscientiousness and emotional stability factors of IPIP had significant and positive correlations with the job involvement; and agreeableness and intellect factors of IPIP had positive but insignificant correlation with the job involvement. xi It was also observed that except emotional stability factor of IPIP, all other factors had significant and positive correlation with the job satisfaction. It was also found that job involvement had negative (𝛾=.014) correlation value and non-significant relation with the job satisfaction. The total mean item inter-correlations of international personality item pool (IPIP) was 0.28 and total Cronbach's Alpha 0.82 was computed (Table 49). In Nepali context, the mean item inter-correlation was .28 and the Goldberg (1992) mean scale Big Five domain mean was .31. Similarly, Cronbach's Alphas were found to be .82 and .90. The result showed similarities in Cronbach's Alpha. All future studies should be depth-oriented and modified to identify the actual factors impacting the job satisfaction and job involvement. It is also recommended that the scope of future studies like the gender difference in personality traits need to be extended to ensure that they also include the perspective of the government and Nepali residents who actually interact with the civil employees as civil service is an authentic service industry that has been playing a crucial role in the service arena. Also, future research studies could also be extended to other segments including other public sectors like the employees of public enterprises, army and police personnel, school teachers, medical doctors, judicial officials, etc. and the private sector employees for the welfare of people suitable to accelerate the overall development of Nepal.
