Role of Neurotic Personality Trait in the Determination of Self Satisfaction and Job Satisfaction M.A. Thesis, Department of Economics and Statistics, California State University, Los Angeles, 2017 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Happiness (see Positive Affect/Optimism); Job Satisfaction; Life Satisfaction; Personality/Big Five Factor Model or Traits Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The current study examines the role of neurotic personality in the determination of an individual's happiness in the form of self-satisfaction and job satisfaction. Using four samples from two surveys of the national longitudinal survey of youth NLSY79 and using an ordered probit approach, the study demonstrates that other characteristics held constant, an individual with a neurotic personality is likely to be less satisfied with his/her life and workplace. The significance of this variable in both self-satisfaction and job satisfaction regression along with the likelihood test results indicate that personality trait is an important determinant of the individual's overall well-being, and should not therefore be excluded from happiness regressions. As a byproduct, the study identifies several important covariates of job satisfaction and self-satisfaction, and shows how they affect the satisfaction of younger and mature adults differently. |
