Abstract [sv]

Forskning kring organisationslojalitet har på senare tid ökat, då fenomenet är en viktig faktor sett till aspekten av att behålla personal. Forskning efterfrågar studier om sambandet mellan organisationslojalitet och personlighet, då personlighet spelar stor en viktig roll när det gäller att förutse en individs val och preferenser i en arbetskontext. Vår studie har som syfte att bygga vidare på den tidigare forskningen, genom en frågeställning som syftar till att undersöka huruvida sambandet mellan de olika personlighetsdragen inom Big Five och organisationslojalitet skildras. Studien genomfördes genom en kvantitativ metod där datainsamlingen skedde via en enkät bestående av 50 frågor. Enkäten hade sin grund i de validerade instrumenten IPIP-30 och Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) som avsåg mäta personlighet respektive organisationslojalitet. I vår studie deltog 187 respondenter där den mest representativa åldersgruppen var inom spannet av 18-30 år. Könsfördelningen bestod av en majoritet kvinnor, på 68,6%. Resultatet tyder på att vissa personlighetsdrag uppvisade samband med organisationslojalitet. Extraversion, neuroticism och samvetsgrannhet uppvisade ett signifikant samband med organisationslojalitet. Välvillighet och öppenhet påvisade inget signifikant samband med organisationslojalitet. I studiens regressionsanalys går det att utläsa att 13,7% av variansen i organisationslojalitet kan förklaras av personlighet inom Big Five. Vår slutsats är att personlighet är en viktig faktor för organisationer att beakta i sitt arbete av att behålla personal. Det grundas i resultatet av hur vissa personlighetsdrag uppvisar samband samt kan predicera organisationslojalitet.

Abstract [en]

Research on organizational commitment has recently increased, as the phenomenon is an important factor that is added to the aspect of retaining staff. Research calls for studies on the relationship between organizational commitment and personality, as personality plays an important role in predicting an individual's choices and preferences in a work context. Our study aims to build further on the previous research, through a question that aims to investigate whether the relationship between the different personality traits within the Big Five and organizational commitment is shown. The study is conducted through a quantitative method where the data collection took place via a questionnaire consisting of 50 questions. The survey was based on the validated instruments IPIP-30 and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) which intended to measure personality and organizational commitment respectively. In our study, 187 respondents participated, where the most representative age group was in the range of 18-30 years. The gender distribution consisted of a majority of women, at 68.6%. The results suggest that certain personality traits were associated with organizational commitment. Extraversion, neuroticism and conscientiousness show a significant relationship with organizational commitment. Agreeableness and openness showed no significant relationship with organizational commitment. In the study's regression analysis, it can be shown that 13,7% of the variance in organizational commitment can be explained by personality within the Big Five. Our conclusion is that personality is an important factor for organizations to consider in the work of keeping personal. It is based on the results of how certain personality traits show relationships and can predict organizational commitment.
