Abstract
Purpose – The difference in personality may play a significant role in the performance of an employee. And it can equally affect the type of Conflict Relationship or Task that an employee quickly gets entangled.

Also, Agreeableness was negatively associated with task and relationship conflict. On the other hand, Conscientiousness and Neuroticism were also negatively associated with both types of conflict. Also, conflict as a mediator wasn’t statistically significant in determining the relationship between personality traits and performance. Practical implications – Knowing and understanding personality traits of employees, play a crucial role in employee performance and the type of perceived conflict.
