Abstract
The study focused on the relationship
between the big five factors of
personality i.e.Extraversion, Conscientiousness,
Agreeableness, Neuroticism,
and Openness to Experience
and generalized perceived selfefficacy
with team performance
among professionals of non-profit
rural development organizations.
The results suggest that Extraversion,
Agreeableness and Conscientiousness
are positively related
with team performance and Neuroticism
was negatively related with it.
Generalized perceived self-efficacy
and openness to experience are not
related with team performance.
Regression analysis results show that
the big five factors of personality
along with generalized perceived
self-efficacy explained 31% of
variance in team performance.
However, only Extra-version,
Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness
had significant unique
contribution to the variance in
performance.
