Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the relationship between the personality dimensions and job performance of hospitality professionals. This supports the call of TESDA that educational organization along with the development of qualifications and competency would include the improvement of personality dimension or traits of the students specifically their agreeableness, interaction, conscientiousness and openness to new experience. The data gathering was using a modified questionnaire validated by the research in charge of the department. The respondents were given a scale of 1-5 (1 is the lowest) to scale the various items in the questionnaire. There were 100 respondents and their answers were subjected to statistical computation using Mean and Pearson r.  The result shows that the respondents' personality dimension and job performance were both high. The study further shows that there is a significant relationship between personality dimensions and their job performance. The result implies that personality traits would serve as one of the important components of hiring an applicant.
