What the paper says

This study examines the relationship between the Big Five personality traits (Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) and self‐reported job performance in a fully remote work environment. A survey of 239 federal government workers at the Canada Pension Centre, conducted in July and August 2021, used pre‐validated measures for both the Big Five and job performance. Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience showed a positive relationship with job performance. Access to the outdoors had a positive moderating effect. These results enhance understanding of personality's impact on job performance during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
