THE EFFECTS OF PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS ON PRESENTEEISM: A STUDY OF MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Abstract :
Although numerous studies have investigated the relations between personality characteristics and absenteeism, few studies have focused on the effects of personality characteristics on presenteeism. This study aims to eliminate the lack of empirical research on this subject in organi- zational behavior literature. The goal of the study is to examine the effects of the personality char- acteristics (or Big Five Personality Factor) on presenteeism. The sampling consists of employees of a large enterprise in manufacturing industry in the Mersin Province, Turkey. According to the findings of the research, it showed that while extraversion dimension of personality had a positive, but not signifaicant effect on presenteeism, agreeableness dimension of personality had a negative, but not significant effect on presesenteeism. However, it indicated that openness to experience; conscientiousness and neuroticism dimensions of personality had a significant positive effect on presenteeism. Lastly, it is stressed that this study has some limitations and suggestions that con- tributed to the research to be done related to presenteeism in the future.
