The Interactive Effects of Conscientiousness and Agreeableness on Career Commitment

In the last few decades, considerable research has focused on the effects of trait interactions on job performance, but only a few studies have examined trait interaction effects on career commitment. This study investigates the interactive effects of conscientiousness and agreeableness on career commitment and its 3 facets of career identity, career resilience, and career planning in a sample of 254 employees in North India. Results suggest a partial interaction effect of conscientiousness and agreeableness on career commitment. Trait interactions were seen as significant predictors of career resilience in the Indian context. The authors discuss implications for research, theory, and practice.
