“…A correlation was determined within the study for verbal bullying and neurosis, however not for different varieties of bullying victimization. The findings from the study show that neurosis and indirect bullying were powerfully correlated; previous studies by validatory this [15,16,22]. in an exceedingly similar study, Harris unconcealed that neurosis and conscientiousness were considerably associated with victimization (indirect bullying) [23].…”

School bullying is one of the most prevalent issues facing school personnel today and the threat of this behaviour to a safe school environment. Objectives:The study was designed to examine the predictive effects of neuroticism and emotional intelligence on the bullying behavior of students. Materials and Methods:A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The study participants consisted of 130 randomly-selected students from a college that is predominantly for boys in Ondo State, Nigeria. Three standardized scales were used to obtain data from the participants. Then, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data collected, by SPSS V. 25 and AMOS V. 24.Results: Three research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The result revealed a significant relationship between neuroticism, emotional intelligence and bullying behavior among college students. Neuroticism and emotional intelligence accounted for 25% of the variation of bullying behavior and contributed significantly to the prediction. Conclusion:Based on these findings, school counsellors and psychologists are recommended to assist in training students who score high on neuroticism and help them understand and manage their personality type effectively without posing threats to others.

“…Thus, the negative relationship between neuroticism and self-esteem is supportably. Researchers Teng and Liu (2013) revealed that neurotic university students positively predict negative emotions such as depression and anxiety. Neurotics tend to react excessively to certain stimuli and most of the time feel nervous in all type of situations.…”

This research investigated the relationship between personality traits and self-esteem among university students in Malaysia. The main objective of this research is to assess the relationship between personality traits and self-esteem among university students. This research examined the predictive value of Big Five Personality Factors for university students' self-esteem and surveyed the gender difference in Big Five Personality Factors. Participants of this study were 515 university students (258 females and 257 males). The sampling method that was used in this study is purposive sampling. Two highly versatile instruments were used in this research which are Big Five Personality Factor's Scale (Goldberg, 1999) and Coopersmith's Esteem Scale (CSEI). The Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI) is comprised of 44 items, Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree). This instrument has five subscales which are extraversion (E), agreeableness (A), conscientiousness (C), openness (O) and neuroticism (N). The CSEI is a 58 item scale developed by Coopersmith (1967) to measure self-esteem. This scale was based on two options which are, "Like me" or "Unlike me". Results show a significant positive correlation of self-esteem and personality. Simultaneous multiple regression of self-esteem on the personality traits sub scales, revealed that the extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness were significant positive predictor and neuroticism versus emotion stability was significant negative predictor of the self-esteem. The results of analysis t-test indicated gender difference in male and females in two personality traits which are conscientiousness and neuroticism while no significant gender difference extraversion, agreeableness and openness traits. In a nutshell, this study indicates that personality traits influences an individual's life in every domain which serves the purpose of this study and it highlights the connections between self-esteem and the Big Five dimensions can be accounted for by individual differences.

“…Individuals who are high in neuroticism tend to exhibit poor adjustment and prone to negative emotional states, and often express their attitude toward their coworkers (LePine and Van Dyne, 2001). Empirically, individuals high in neuroticism were found to react excessively to threatening stimuli and feel nervous in all kinds of situation (Teng and Liu, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding, and role of personality disposition (neuroticism) in moderating such relationships. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 108 employees nested in 18 teams from private sectors via survey questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical regression models were used to test the hypotheses. Findings The findings show that the higher the level of workplace incivility experienced by the team members, the higher the tendency for them to hide knowledge and this relationship is moderated by neuroticism. Specifically, the relationship was found to be stronger for those employees high in neuroticism compared to those low in neuroticism. Practical implications The study offers important implication in term of knowledge hiding prevention or reduction. The behavior can be reduced by creating awareness among employees on the importance of civility at work via campaign, realistic job preview and leading by example. To manage the effect of neuroticism, managers need to identify those high in the trait and provide them with training on how to better regulate and manage negative emotions in the workplace. Originality/value The study contributes to the research on knowledge hiding behavior by advancing the understanding of organizational and personal factors that can influence knowledge hiding among employees working in team. It is the first to propose and empirically validate the predictive effect of workplace incivility on knowledge hiding. It also addresses the usefulness of examining personality disposition in understanding the relationship between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding behavior.
