“…The results indicated that participants with high scores on agreeableness reported better life satisfaction than their counterparts. This finding partially agrees with the previous study by Volodinaa et al [ 26 ], who reported a positive relationship between agreeableness and life satisfaction. However, our results disagree with their finding, as neuroticism and extraversion dimensions were not found to be significantly linked to life satisfaction.…”

“…In addition, agreeableness and conscientiousness were found to be predictors of life satisfaction among retired individuals [ 25 ]. Except for neuroticism, which was negatively correlated, the other four personality factors were significantly and positively correlated with life satisfaction [ 26 ]. Furthermore, a recent finding suggests that cultural difference is a key factor in the correlation between life satisfaction and neuroticism and extraversion among adults [ 27 ].…”

This study aimed to examine attitude toward aging as a potential mediator of the relationship between personality factors and mental health in terms of depression and life satisfaction among older adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 438 Ethiopian elderly individuals aged 60 to 69. The results of the regression-based path analysis showed that after adjusting for demographic data, the relationship between agreeableness and depression in older adults was partially mediated by attitude toward aging. Likewise, attitude toward physical change due to aging and psychological growth subscales jointly mediated the correlation between neuroticism and depression. However, a significant direct path between neuroticism and depression persisted. On the contrary, openness had no significant direct association with depression apart from an indirect through psychosocial loss. The link between life satisfaction and agreeableness as well as openness to experience were partially mediated by psychosocial loss. Therefore, a person’s attitude toward aging and personality characteristics should be taken into consideration while designing interventions for managing mental health issues among older adults.

“…This emotionally unstable behaviour is generally thought of in the context of its negative influence on consumption type behaviours (Jani and Han, 2014;Matzler and Renzl, 2007;Matzler et al, 2005;Volodina et al, 2019). As such, neuroticism was found to be negatively associated with employee satisfaction (Matzler and Renzl, 2007) and negatively correlated with satisfaction with vocational education and training (Volodina et al, 2019). Similarly, neuroticism among Mountain Bikers was found to have a highly significant impact on their negative emotions and these emotions impacted negatively on the Biker's satisfaction with their own performance (Matzler et al, 2005).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is two-fold. First is to explore the role of some customer personality traits in explaining customer satisfaction in mobile services. Second is to explore the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty of mobile services customers, mediated by attitude-to-brand considering the fierce competition and the fast industry growth. Design/methodology/approach The study used a cross-sectional design and a survey of mobile service customers. For the empirical analysis, the structural equation models were applied (partial least squares). Findings The results suggest that customers who are agreeable, neurotic and open to new experience are more likely to be satisfied with mobile services than other personality types. In addition, the satisfaction-loyalty link is fully mediated by attitude-to-brand. Hence, satisfaction is not a direct driver of loyalty in the mobile services business and loyalty is achieved when service providers simultaneously focussed on the customers’ satisfaction and their attitudes towards brands. Practical implications The study identified the personality trait drivers of customer satisfaction and the path to customer loyalty in the mobile services sector. With this information, mobile service providers should be better able to target and retain customers. Originality/value The study offers new insights into customer behaviour by using personality traits to identify requirements for achieving customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and attitude-to-brand.

“…Thus, future research might want to further investigate whether a common BPN factor is useful to consider from an analytical point of view. As this study was driven by theoretical considerations, implying the distinct usefulness of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as stated in selfdetermination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), we decided to present the results for all three BPN dimensions instead of a common support factor (see also Volodina, Lindner, & Retelsdorf, 2019).…”

Even though environmental contexts have been associated with personality development, little attention has been paid to individuals' psychological perceptions thereof. Basic psychological needs theory assesses environments based on their levels of autonomy, competence, and relatedness support. In order to better understand the factors that drive personality development we related the support of basic psychological needs (BPN) and the individual importance ascribed to BPN support to Big Five personality development 1.5 years later. We focused on the context of the first job in a longitudinal study of young Germans (N T1 = 1,886; M ageT1 = 18.41). Based on theory and previous research we derived multiple hypotheses and tested them simultaneously against each other with an information theoretic approach including response surface analyses. Results differed across the Big Five: Controlling for personality at T1, people who ascribed greater importance to BPN support, had higher perceptions of BPN support, and who had an incongruence between the two at T1 were higher in emotional stability and extraversion at T2. The pattern was more complex for openness, whereas individuals ascribing more importance to BPN support at T1 were more agreeable and conscientious at T2. Findings are discussed for theory and future research of personality development.
