The Effects of Personality on the Performance of Employee

In this study, the effects of personality on the performance of employee have been examined. 282 people, working in the 5 star hotel managements in Alanya form the work group of the research. Cattel’s 16 PF (16 Personality Factors) Personality Inventory and performance rating scale improved by Güzeller, Yıldız and Üngüren (2009) has been used. Personality sub-dimensions have been accepted as independent variables and performance rating scale sub-dimensions have been accepted as dependent variables and canonical correlations between the dependent and independent variables have been calculated. According to the obtained canonical correlations, only one canonical correlation has been found important between the independent variable and dependent variable. The increase in the personality test scores explains the performance scores in a limited level. It can be said that the increase of sa,sh, sl, sq1, sl in the set of personality variables caused the increase of the points of messor in the sub-set of the test variables.
