Abstract
Career development is one of the most important decisions individuals make in their lives. These decisions are multifaceted and complex, making them a challenging process, particularly for employees. This creates obstacles for employee navigating the career choice process. The aim of this study is to examine career development difficulties within the framework of personality traits and decision-making styles. The objective of this study was to describe the dominant personality traits of IT employees. The measuring tools consist of personality trait, Job Satisfaction Scale, and a Socio-demographic data sheet. The measurement was collected from 120 IT employees working in IT sectors. The findings revealed that extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness have a significant and positive relation with Job Satisfaction. Of these three personality factors conscientiousness had a significant influence on job satisfaction. The employees who were highly experienced and received a high monthly income had better job satisfaction than the employees who were having less experience and monthly income.
