Impact of psychological capital, personality traits on work commitment of Vietnamese bank employees

Abstract

This paper aims to determine the
impact of psychological capital, personality traits on
work commitment of Vietnamese bank employees.
Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis
and regression were employed on data obtained
from a survey on 307 employees working at banks in
large cities such as Hanoi, Da Nang, HCMC. Results
show that four psychological factors, including hope,
confidence, adaptation, optimism are positively
correlated with work commitment. In addition, the
study also found that the big-five personality traits,
namely openness, extraversion, agreeableness and
conscientiousness have a positive impact while
neuroticism has a negative impact on work
commitment. Some solutions are then suggested for
bank managers to enhance their employees’
psychological capital, personality traits for higher
work commitment
