Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between personality traits and employee performance in
commercial banks of Butwal. The research utilized a convenience sampling technique to collect data from
240 employees of commercial banks. A structured questionnaire incorporating a seven-point Likert scale
was employed to gather responses. The study adopted a descriptive and causal-comparative research
design, applying various statistical analyses such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Correlation, Regression,
One-Way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskal-Wallis H test to analyze the data. The findings
revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between personality traits and employee
performance. Moreover, conscientiousness and extraversion were identified as the primary determinants
of employee performance within commercial banks. The study concludes that if commercial banks focus
more on extraversion and conscientiousness while training their employees, there is a high possibility that
employee performance can be enhanced.
Key words: Neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, Openness to experiences,
employee performance.
