PERSONALITY TRAITS AND PERFECTIONISM AS PREDICTORS OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES
PERSONALITY TRAITS AND PERFECTIONISM AS PREDICTORS OF ATTITUDES TOWARDS ORGANISATIONAL CHANGES

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to determine whether personality traits and perfectionism are significant in predicting the attitude towards organizational change. The research sample consisted of 336 employees with a mean age 35.29 (SD = 11.44). The instruments used were The Big Five Plus Two Personality Inventory (BF + 2), the Attitudes Towards Organizational Change Scale (OC) and the Burns Perfectionism Scale. Regression analysis results indicate that high scores on extraversion, openness, and positive valence correlate with initiating change among employees. High scores on neuroticism and positive valence, and low scores on extraversion and openness predict a negative attitude towards organizational changes. High scores on extraversion and openness correlate with employee flexibility. High scores on perfectionism predict both change initiation and employee flexibility.
