The Big Five Theory is often regarded as psychology’s most influential personality theoretical approach. The goal of this study is to examine the role of the Big Five Theory in the workplace, especially which personality qualities are more likely to predict work success. Which traits should companies emphasize throughout the hiring and selection processes? How can businesses use the Big Five personality model to locate employees that are more productive, efficient, and devoted to the organization’s goals? A detailed assessment of existing recent research addresses the aforementioned issues. Following a review of many current articles on the subject, it was established that using this model had a positive influence on individual and group performance, working relationships, manager work performance, and workplace innovation.
