Notes

Abstract:
Context: Personality differences among athletic trainers have been investigated in regards to both burnout and job satisfaction, frequently utilizing the Big Five Personality Inventory as a tool to distinguish those differences. While this information is useful in determining differences among a population of unsatisfied or burned out athletic trainers, there is a lack of research regarding differences in personality traits between settings and roles. Objective: The objective of this research was to determine significant differences between the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and both job settings and roles within the field of athletic training while also determining correlations between BFI results and reported job satisfaction. Design: Survey. Setting: This research was conducted through a survey via the Qualtrics website. Patients or Other Participants: This survey was sent to athletic trainers across all settings distinguished by the National Athletic Trainers’ Association: college/university, higher education, secondary schools, professional sports, healthcare administration and rehabilitation, military, occupational health, performing arts, physician practice, and public safety. The NATA Research Survey Service was used to construct and distribute the survey. Instrumentation: Data was collected using a Web based survey instrument consisting of 3 sections: (1) The Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI), (2) The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), nature of work facet, and (3) demographics. Main Outcome Measure(s): Multiple univariate analyses (ANOVAs) were run to determine significant differences between BFI results and demographic information. Post hoc independent t-tests were used to distinguish significant differences in BFI results between job settings. Pearson Correlations were run to determine relationships between BFI results and JSS results
