Job satisfaction has gained increasing interest in the world of work and a vast field of research has been stimulated regarding its antecedents. Among these, personality traits have received consistent and significant attention, with a particular emphasis on conscientiousness. To delve deeper and detail these aspects, in the present research, a moderation model was hypothesized, with the aim of investigating the effect of age on the association between conscientiousness (and its subdimensions scrupulousness and perseverance) and job satisfaction. The age-moderated interactions of the other Big Five personality traits were also explored. The study involved 202 Italian workers (92 men, 110 women) with a mean age of 44.82 years (SD = 10.56) who completed the Big Five Questionnaire and the Job Satisfaction Scale. The results showed a positive association between conscientiousness and job satisfaction. This was moderated by age to the extent that it was significant for younger and average-age workers and was less significant for older workers. Similar results were found for the subdomain of perseverance, while the relationship between scrupulousness and job satisfaction was not significant. Furthermore, no age-moderated interaction between the other Big Five personality traits and Job satisfaction were found. Such data supports interactive models that highlight the need to integrate personality traits with other factors in exploring the antecedents of job satisfaction. These findings provide additional elements to an understanding of the factors contributing to workers satisfaction, and could have important applicative implications in a framework for healthy organizations and the well-being movement.

人格特质、工人年龄和工作满意度:责任心的调节作用。



工作满意度在工作世界中引起了越来越多的兴趣,并且激发了对其起源的广泛研究。其中,人格特质受到了一致和显着的关注,特别强调责任心。为了更深入和详细地研究这些方面,在本研究中,假设了一个调节模型,目的是调查年龄对责任心(及其子维度的谨慎和毅力)和工作满意度之间关系的影响。还探讨了其他大五人格特征的年龄调节相互作用。该研究涉及 202 名意大利工人(92 名男性,110 名女性),平均年龄为 44.82 岁(SD = 10.56),他们完成了大五问卷和工作满意度量表。结果显示责任心与工作满意度之间呈正相关。这种影响因年龄而有所缓和,即对于年轻和平均年龄的工人来说显着,而对于老年工人来说则不太显着。在毅力子领域也发现了类似的结果,而谨慎性和工作满意度之间的关系并不显着。此外,没有发现其他大五人格特质与工作满意度之间存在年龄调节的相互作用。这些数据支持交互式模型,强调在探索工作满意度的前因时需要将人格特质与其他因素结合起来。这些发现为理解影响员工满意度的因素提供了额外的要素,并且可能对健康组织和福祉运动的框架具有重要的应用意义。
