Abstract
This study focused on the moderating effects of self-monitoring, and examined the interaction between self-monitoring and neuroticism on job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. The participants were 133 employees of a Japanese traffic enterprise (123 men and 10 women), with a mean age of 38.02 years (SD=10.27). Previous studies have shown that workers with high neuroticism have lower job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior than workers with low neuroticism. However, our results showed that workers with high self-monitoring, even if they had high neuroticism, had the same degree of job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior as workers with low neuroticism.
