Health Care Personnel in Nigeria: Do HEXACO Attributes Influence In-Role Performance?
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 01
Abstract
The impact of HEXACO traits on in-role performance of health workers in Nigerian is investigated in this study. The study focused on seven types of healthcare workers in a few public health facilities in Lagos, Nigeria. Data was collected from 526 health workers in Nigerian public health facilities using a descriptive design. Structured tools were used to assess HEXACO traits (honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience), as well as in-role performance. Pearson correlation and stepwise regression were used to examine the study's data. The findings revealed that performance is significantly and positively linked with four HEXACO factors: honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, and agreeableness, but not significantly with conscientiousness and openness to experience. It also show that physicians are more extraverted and conscientious than other health professionals, while radiographers and physiotherapists are more open and agreeable. However, the best performers include pharmacists, physiotherapists, and medical records officers. The study provides new insight into the association between personality traits and in-role performance among health professionals, particularly in public health contexts. Workplace personality traits (particularly emotionality and extraversion) should be developed by employers to improve employee performance.
