Abstract: (948 Views)
Background: Accidents are of the most important problems in developed and developing countries. Human factors and personality characteristics are the main causes of accidents. The purpose of this study was to compare the personality characteristics between the workers had and had not accident.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in Isfahan City industries, Iran, in 2014. The Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) was completed by 200 workers; 100 workers had and 100 workers had not accident. We used independent t test for data analysis.Findings: The mean age of workers was 33.19 years (SD = 7.39) and their mean work experience was 9.56 years (SD = 6.32). Independent t test showed significant differences in neuroticism (P = 0.020), agreeableness (P = 0.001), extroversion (P = 0.035), and conscientiousness (P = 0.001) between the two groups. But, in openness to experience figure (P = 0.100), there was no significant difference.Conclusion: According to the results, we can predict accident-prone workers via their personality characteristics and forbid them to work in sensitive tasks.
