Abstract :
Abstract: The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationship between organizational commitment and personality characteristics with job structure. 360 personnel of a company were selected through stratified random sampling and divided into two groups. Each group consisted of 180 participants according to their job structure. The first group included jobs that required ingenuity and productive thought (jobs with open structure), while others did not (jobs with closed structure). Participants responded to the Baulfour & Wechsler (1996) Organizational Commitment Scale and Saucier’s (1994) Big Five Minimarker Questionnaire. Findings indi-cated that the relationship between identification commitment and affiliation commitment with openness to experience, and exchange commitment with extraversion is different in the two groups.
