Abstract: This study examines the mediating role of multidimensional organizational commitment concept in determining the relationship between Big Five personality traits and job performance. A conceptual framework has been developed with multidimensional organizational commitment as a mediating variable linking the personality-performance relationship. It is hypothesized that affective commitment will mediate the relationship between extraversion and job performance. Affective commitment will also mediate the relationship between conscientiousness and job performance. It is also hypothesized that continuance commitment will mediated the relationship between neuroticism and job performance. Theoretical implications are discussed.
