Abstract

The purpose of this study is to see if personality characteristics are related to an individual's motivation type. I expect to find that extrinsic motivation has a positive relationship with agreeableness and extraversion, and has a negative relationship with neuroticism. I also expect to find that intrinsic motivation has a positive relationship with conscientiousness and openness, and has a negative relationship with neuroticism. If my research shows that personality characteristics have an effect on motivation type, then it could make a strong case for the importance of using personality tests during the selection process of new hires for organizations.
