Tidigare forskning visar att yttre samt inre faktorer har en påverkan på individers  upplevelse av kraven från arbete och privatlivet samt privatliv och arbete. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur sambandet ser ut mellan personlighetsdrag och individers upplevelse av konflikten mellan arbete och privatliv samt privatliv och arbete.Totalt deltog 124 stycken varav 31 % män och 69 % kvinnor. Medelåldern för deltagarnavar 28 år. Deltagarna fick fylla i en enkät som var sammansatt av två stycken väletablerade frågeformulär. Data analyserades med hjälp av korrelationsanalys, ttestsamt multipel regressionsanalys. Resultatet visade att personlighetsdraget neuroticismhade ett positivt samband med konflikten mellan arbete och privatliv (r =.29 p = .001) samt privatliv och arbete (r = .20 p = .03). Det visade även att individer upplever konflikten mellan arbete och privatliv (M = 3.26, p = 0.00) starkare än konflikten mellan privatliv och arbete (M = 1.64, p = 0.00). Resultatet var i linje med tidigare forskning. Det påvisade även att det fanns samband mellan personlighetsdragoch individers upplevelse av konflikten mellan arbete och privatliv samt privatliv och arbete.

Previous research shows that external as well as internal factors have an impact on individuals' experience of work and privacy, as well as privacy and work. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the relationship looks between personalities and individuals' experience of the conflict between work and privacy, as well as privacy and work. A total of 124 participated were 31% men and 69% women. The average age of the participants was 28 years. Participants were asked to fill in a questionnaire that was composed of two well-established questionnaires. Data was analyzed by correlation analysis, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. The result showed that the personality trait neuroticism had a positive correlation between the work and privacy conflict (r = .29 p = .001) as well as personal life and work (r = .20 p = .03). It also showed that individuals experience the constraints between work and privacy (M = 3.26, p = 0.00) stronger than the conflict between privacy and work (M = 1.64, p = 0.00). The result was in line with previous research. It also showed that there was a correlation between personal traits and individuals' experience of the conflict between work and privacy, as well as privacy and work.
