Meanwhile, personality traits were also found to be negatively related to tenure where the correlation coefficient was r = -702 and p <.05. In addition, the linear regression test conducted to see the effect of personality traits on work performance also showed that personality traits had a strong influence on work performance with a value of r = 0.473 and a significant p <0.05.
