Linking Employee Personality to Organizational Performance: A Quantitative Examination of the Big Five Model in Nepal's Insurance Sector

This study investigates the influence of employee personality traits; specifically, openness to experience, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism, on organizational performance within Nepalese insurance companies.Drawing on the Big Five personality model, data were collected from 250 employees across five major insurance firms using convenience sampling.Regression analysis revealed that openness to experience ( = 0.401), conscientiousness ( = 0.164), and agreeableness ( = 0.438) significantly and positively predict organizational performance, while Neuroticism showed no significant relationship.These findings highlight the importance of integrating personality profiling into recruitment, performance management, and employee development strategies in the insurance sector.This study contributes novel empirical insights and actionable recommendations for human resource practices aimed at enhancing organizational outcomes.Future research could explore the role of extraversion and examine these relationships across other industries.
