Abstract
Contrary to expectation, the relationship between openness to experience and performance has been non‐significant in prior research. We proposed and ultimately demonstrated, using a sample of 114 financial services employees, that other personality variables – including extroversion and emotional stability – moderate this relationship and help to account for prior findings. Implications for research and practice are addressed.
