Resumen

Hacia la comprensión de los efectos de la interacción, en dos sentidos, de la extroversión y la apertura a la experiencia con el compromiso profesional. En este estudio examinamos los efectos potenciales de la interacción, en dos sentidos, de dos de los rasgos de personalidad del modelo de Cinco Factores: la extroversión y la apertura a la experiencia de compromiso profesional medidas en función de tres componentes: identidad profesional, resistencia/adaptabilidad en la carrera, planificación de la carrera. Participaron cuatrocientos cincuenta gerentes de organizaciones de los sectores público y privado del norte de India. Los resultados revelaron impactos positivos significativos, de las interacciones de la extroversión y la apertura, en la dimensión de la adaptabilidad/resistencia del compromiso profesional. También se presentan algunas implicaciones para la práctica y líneas de investigación futuras.
