Abstract

The aim of this research was to explain the relationship between
personality big five factors and job burnout in employees of Ministry of
Sport and Youth of Iran. 162 employees completed the Maslach Burnout
Inventory (MBI) and Big Five Inventory (BFI). MBI with 22 items assessed
three dimensions of job burnout and BFI with 44 items assessed the five
dimensions of personality. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was utilized to
examine the internal reliability of MBI (r=0.80) and BFI (r=0.82). Data were
analyzed with parametric tests (Pearson correlation, ANOVA, multiple
regression and so on) at P≥0.05. The findings indicated that those who had
higher neuroticism and lower extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness
and openness to experiences were more prone to experience job burnout. So,
if organizations use personality assessment as a part of their employment
system, they can identify those who are likely to experience burnout in the
future and have more precise organization and planning so that they can
guarantee employees' commitment to their future job situations.
