Abstract
The present study aims to identify the moderating role of big five personality traits in the
relationship between high performance work system and employee retention. It includes the strong
theoretical foundation of trait theory approach which argues about personality differences between
individuals, its propensity to remain consistent over situations, and its tendency to influence
behavior. Data was collected from 225 employees of different banks working in both public and
private sectors and the respondents were selected through simple random sampling technique. The
data collection was analyzed by using regression, process by Hayes and Germy Dowson
moderation tools through SPSS 22.0. The overall findings indicate that HPWS has a positive and
highly significant impact on employee retention. Out of five, agreeableness and conscientiousness
are two personality traits that moderate the relationship between High performance work system
and Employee retention. Whereas, Simple Moderation illustrates that extraversion, openness to
experience and neuroticism has no significant relationship with HPWS and ER. Managers need
to establish new Human resource policies in the banks that comprise high performance work
system practices. Also, these policies consisted of elements that develop the trait of agreeableness
and conscientiousness among employees.
