Abstract EN

The study aimed to identify the level of each of the five major factors of personality (neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, kindness, conscientiousness) among employees in the Dohuk Governorate center, and the significance of the differences in those factors according to demographic variables: (age, gender, level of educational and Years of Services).

By Using the comparative descriptive approach, the research community included (34,663) employees which distributed across (21) ministries and institutions, and the sample consisted of (447) male and female employees who were chosen in the random class method.

The study relied on a ready scale for the five major factors Prepared by Costa and Macri (1992) to collect information, consisting of (60) paragraphs, and for each paragraph, there are five alternatives to the answer (always, evry time, sometimes, rarely, never), after translating it into the Arabic and Kurdish languages, and checking the indications of its validity and realiability.

The data were statistically treated using the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) and by applying the t-test for one and two independent samples, ANOVA, and the post-L.S.D test for comparisons.

The results showed that the five major factors in the personality are arranged among the members of the sample as follows: vigilance of conscience, kindness, extroversion, openness to experience, and finally the neurotic factor.

The level of the factor of conscience was high, while neuroticism among the sample members was low.

It was found that there were no statistically significant differences in neuroticism and openness to experience according to the age variable, while there were statistically significant differences in the extrapolation and in favor of the age group (50-59) years, in the factor of kindness and in favor of the age group (40-49) years, and in the awakening factor Conscience and in favor of the category (50-59) years.

The results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in the five major factors in personality due to gender and educational qualification variables.

While it was found that there are statistically significant differences in two factors (neuroticism and conscientiousness) depending on the variable of years of service.

In the light of the results, a set of recommendations and proposals were presented.
