The burnout syndrome, which affects many healthcare workers, has recently attracted wide interest due to the severe repercussions related to its effects. Although job factors determine its development, not all individuals exposed to the same work conditions show burnout, which demonstrates the importance of individual variables, such as personality. The purpose of this study was to determine the personality characteristics of a sample of nursing professionals based on the Big Five model. After having determined the personality profiles, we aimed to analyze the differences in burnout and engagement based on those profiles. The sample was made up of 1236 nurses. An ad hoc questionnaire was prepared to collect the sociodemographic data and the Brief Burnout Questionnaire, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Big Five Inventory-10 were used. The results showed that the existence of burnout in this group of workers is associated negatively with extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience, and it is associated positively with the neuroticism personality trait. These personality factors showed the opposite patterns with regard to engagement. Three different personality profiles were also found in nursing personnel, in which professionals who had a profile marked by strong neuroticism and low scores on the rest of the personality traits were the most affected by burnout.

Big Five Model

The theory of the five great factors of personality (Big Five theory) is currently considered to be the best at explaining the most individual variability in terms of personality factors between subjects. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and the recent social context, and to determine whether social support can act as a moderating factor in the process. While previous research has established that personality traits are significant predictors of well-being, the extent to which the big five personality traits influence social well-being remains unknown. This research paper employs a qualitative method based on a deductive research approach, as the author used deductive logic to predict the big five model personality traits in a recent social context. Five personality traits were found to be significantly related to the overall social context and social support functions as a determinant in the relationships between extraversion/agreeableness/conscientiousness/neuroticism/openness and social context. Numerous studies now concur, and there is a high degree of consensus in the literature regarding the Big Five theory as a useful theory for identifying and describing the major general factors of personality.

Creative Environment

La personalidad se ve integrada por una serie de atributos individuales caracterizados por cómo uno piensa, siente o actúa, influyendo en ella tanto factores endógenos, como exógenos. En este sentido, la personalidad presenta una influencia sobre diversos constructos, como la percepción sobre la creatividad en el trabajo y el engagement. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el efecto de la personalidad y la percepción sobre la creatividad en el trabajo sobre el engagement en enfermería. Se evaluó una muestra de 1268 profesionales de enfermería, entre los 22 y 63 años. Para la recogida de datos se aplicaron diferentes instrumentos como el Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), la escala Creative Environment Perceptions (CEP), y la Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). Los datos obtenidos sugieren que el Neuroticismo se relaciona negativamente con la percepción de la creatividad y con el engagement, al igual que el factor Bloqueos a la creatividad no se vio relacionado con el engagement. Así, el personal de enfermería más creativo y comprometido con su trabajo presenta mayor estabilidad, menores niveles de ansiedad y tensión, así como menor número de dificultades ante las dificultades de la organización, mostrándose más entusiasmado y alegre y, consigo, siendo más competente y creativo ante la organización institucional de la que forma parte. Personality is made up of a series of individual attributes characterized by how one thinks, feels or acts, which are influenced by both endogenous and exogenous factors. Thus, personality presents an influence on various constructs, such as the perception of job creativity and engagement. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of personality and perception of job creativity on engagement in nursing. A sample of 1268 nursing professionals, 22 to 63 years old, was evaluated. Data were collected with several different instruments, such as the Big Five Inventory (BFI-10), the Creative Environment Perceptions (CEP) scale and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES). The data found suggest that Neuroticism is negatively related to the perception of creativity and with engagement, just as the Creativity blocking factor was not related to engagement. The results indicate that more creative and engaged nursing personnel present more stability, lower anxiety and tension and fewer problems with the organization. They also show more enthusiasm and cheer, and with it, more competence and creativity in the institutional organization they are part of.

The aim of the present study was designing a local standardized questionnaire for evaluating traits of personality, following the Big Five model. The questionnaire was built for applying in organizations and to resist social desirability. The theoretical background used in the construction of the questionnaire were part of the Big Five model for personality evaluation. The methods used in this study were specific to the construction and primary validation of a questionnaire: defining the factors, designing the items, verifying the content validity (expert testing). The constructed questionnaire was completed by 524 subjects from the general population. The results confirm the existence of five personality factors, as defined by the authors: sociability, incertitude, persistance, altruism and openness. These factors correspond to the 5 factors described in speciality literature. The study also analyzed the relations the five factors have with significant traits of personality measured by other psychological questionnaires which were applied along with our questionnaire (introversion - extraversion, emotional stability - neuroticism, originality, efficiency, conformism). We also described the differences between the scores for the five factors depending on age, gender, studies and income.

The well-known burnout syndrome includes psychological facets that have been analyzed with respect to professions with systematic and persistent social contact. However, the context is just one side of the coin, albeit important. There might be some differential vulnerability to the development of the syndrome (the other side of the coin). The study reported here is based on a previous research that observed high levels of the syndrome in cashiers of several supermarkets. Going one step further, here (a) 13 cashiers were compared with 13 workers from other sections of a supermarket, and (b) the personality traits considered by the Big Five Model were measured for estimating the efficient use of knowledge and skills required for achieving social goals (P factor).  These were the results: (a) no group differences in the syndrome between cashiers and other sections, and (b) negative correlations between the P factor and burnout scores. It is concluded that individual differences in personality might interact with the occupational context for promoting (or preventing) the burnout syndrome.

Hexaco Model

Egoism is a personality trait that is associated with self‐enriching and self‐centred behaviours. Research has suggested that egoism lies beyond the Big Five personality factors. Recently, the HEXACO model of personality has been proposed as an alternative to the Big Five model. In three studies, the relation between the HEXACO Personality Inventory and egoism, conceptualized using three different questionnaires (DPQ Egoism, SPI Egotism and the Egoism Scale), is investigated. In all three studies, the HEXACO Honesty–Humility factor scale was the most important predictor of egoism. Additionally, in two studies in which FFM measures were used, the HEXACO Personality Inventory explained more variance in egoism than did the FFPI (Study 2) and the NEO‐PI‐R (Study 3).
