Frontiers in Psychology, 15. http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.14301181664-1078http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1430118https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12511/12902Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between audiologists' personality traits and professional satisfaction. Design: Big Five-50 Personality Traits and Professional Satisfaction Scale was used to examine the relationship between audiologists' personality traits and professional satisfaction. Statistical analyzes were performed with SPSS and AMOS programs. Study example: This study examines 167 audiologists who completed a minimum of an undergraduate program in audiology before the professional field. Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate that both scales are reliable and valid. There is a significant relationship between extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability and occupational satisfaction. However, there is no significant relationship between intelligence/imagination and professional satisfaction. Conclusions: Extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability/neuroticism affect job satisfaction. Understanding these dynamics can inform strategies that will increase the professional wellbeing and productivity of audiologists.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution 4.0 InternationalAudiologistsBig Five-50 Personality TraitsOccupational SatisfactionPersonality TraitsProfessional Satisfaction ScaleArticle1510.3389/fpsyg.2024.1430118Q2WOS:0012993597000012-s2.0-8520218041439205985Q2
