The study aims enhancing insights into the relation between personality and engagement.
Data were collected from 713 Flemish workers. Personality (conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, openness), work characteristics and engagement (including vigor, dedication, and absorption) were assessed using validated questionnaires. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to investigate the relation between personality traits and engagement.
Both conscientiousness and extraversion were positively related to engagement and its three dimensions. Higher levels of neuroticism were related to lower levels of vigor and dedication. No relation was found between agreeableness and engagement nor its dimensions. Openness was negatively related to dedication.
These results show that the impact of personality, beside the psychosocial work characteristics, should not be underestimated. Therefore, it is suggested that interventions aiming to increase work engagement should also take into account personality traits.
本研究旨在深入了解人格与投入之间的关系。
本研究的数据来自 713 名佛兰德工人。使用经过验证的问卷评估人格（尽责性、神经质、外向性、宜人性、开放性）、工作特征和投入（包括活力、奉献和专注）。采用多元线性回归分析探讨人格特质与投入之间的关系。
尽责性和外向性与投入及其三个维度呈正相关。神经质水平较高与活力和奉献水平较低有关。宜人性与投入及其维度之间没有关系。开放性与奉献呈负相关。
这些结果表明，人格的影响（除了社会心理工作特征外）不应被低估。因此，建议旨在提高工作投入的干预措施也应考虑人格特质。
