Therefore, researchers have undertaken a study of the relationship between personality traits and work suitability in the emergency and trauma department. Data obtained by
using a questionnaire form to obtain demographic data, personality data, job satisfaction data and job performance data. The questionnaire was distributed to 63 respondents consisting of medical staff assistants who work in the emergency and trauma department of two major hospitals in Perak. In the inference test, the results of the Pearson correlation showed a significant relationship between personality traits and job satisfaction with a coefficient of r =  -.698 and p <.05. Meanwhile, personality traits were also found to be negatively related to tenure where the correlation coefficient was r = -702 and p <.05. In addition, the linear regression test conducted to see the effect of personality traits on work performance also showed that personality traits had a strong influence on work performance with a value of r = 0.473 and a significant p <0.05. The results of this
study will assist supervisors and organizations in the recruitment process of
medical personnel with appropriate personality traits to work in the emergency and trauma department.
