“…The majority of researchers tend to report correlations and predictions based upon the ''Big-5'' labels originally put forward by Norman (1963), although supported and corroborated both before and subsequent to Norman's official taxonomy by a number of other personality theorists (e.g., Borgatta, 1964;Fiske, 1949). Although this model is generally accepted, it has not always been agreed upon that five major factors explain personality, neither has the definition of each factor received consensus (Barrick et al, 2001).…”

Four hundred and thirty-seven employees from four Hong Kong organizations completed the Traditional Chinese versions of the Fifteen Factor Personality Questionnaire Plus (15FQ1) and the Cross-Cultural Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI-2) (indigenous scales) and provided objective and memory-based recent performance appraisal scores. A number of significant bivariate correlations were found between personality and performance scores. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that a number of the scales from the 15FQ1 contributed to significantly predicting four of the performance competency dimensions, but that the CPAI-2 indigenous scales contributed no incremental validity in performance prediction over and above the 15FQ1. Results are discussed in the light of previous research and a call made for continued research to further develop and increase the reliability of the Chinese instruments used in the study and to enable generalization of the findings with confidence.

“…There has been a great disagreement among researchers about the last trait of personality. Few named it intellect or intellection (Borgatta, 1964;McCrae & Costa, 1987;Digman, 1990). Others called it as culture or openness to experience (McCrae & Costa, 1987;Norman, 1963).…”

Over the years, increased academic stress has been experienced among postgraduate students of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The struggle for achieving higher level of academic performance can produce academic stress and lead postgraduate students to low academic performance. Research indicates that the increasing amount of stress poses a serious problem for many postgraduate students at the university level. Despite other factors like academic environment, work load and peer expectations; student's personality traits also play an important role in the level of perceived stress among postgraduate students of HEIs. It has been observed that levels of academic stress among postgraduate students vary according to their personality traits. Personality traits have a significant role in student's life to handle academic related issues which may lead to decline in the academic performance. Stress brings changes in the personalities of postgraduate students' and can alter their behaviour. With regards to Pakistan, where students belong to different areas and cultural background, with below average education standards due to paucity of educated and committed teachers, therefore, Pakistani students feel increased stress due to the personality traits that they possess. The current study is mainly focusing on the relationship between personality traits and academic stress among postgraduate students of the HEIs in Pakistan.

“…Numerous studies later, the same five personality factors continued to emerge (Borgatta, 1964;Norman, 1963). The Five-Factor Model (Costa & McCrae, 1976) soon became widely accepted as an accurate model of human personality.…”
