Personality in modern organizations plays a significant role in determining behavior, attitudes, and performance. How can empirical models like Big Five Theory be put into practice in the recruitment and selection process? Would it be useful to apply in the workplace? What creates a positive motivating experience at work? How do the personality traits affect the productivity as well as the results in an organization? The above questions are answered in this presented systematic review and different researches and studies are applied in order to provide a holistic spectrum. Nowadays there is a transition from job satisfaction to job engagement pinpointing the importance of the meaning and purpose for organizations with good compensation and benefits. Is working for something that delivers value and has an impact correlated with certain personality traits that are presented in the Big Five Theory Model?
