Abstract
The present study investigates the
relationship between five factor
model of personality and role
stress (role overload, role ambiguity
and role conflict). Sample
of the present study consists of
204 male middle level managers
working in public and private
manufacturing organizations. Results
suggest that neuroticism is
positively correlated with all dimensions
of role stress i.e. role
overload, role ambiguity and role
conflict. Agreeableness is negatively
correlated with role ambiguity
and overall stress. Conscientiousness
factor of personality
is negatively correlated with
role ambiguity, role conflict and
overall stress. Results of hierarchical
regression analysis indicate
that neuroticism is the significant
predictor of role stress
along with its dimensions.
