Abstract
Introduction: Considering the importance of preventing technical accidents in the work environment, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of personality factors in the occurrence of technical accidents in one of the military units.
Method: The research design is descriptive and of the causal-comparative research type and the research population included all the technical personnel of one of the military units that were available, 50 people with a history of accidents and 50 people without a history of accidents were selected. In terms of age, education level, service history, and marital status, the subjects were matched with the accident group. The research participants responded to the five-factor NEO personality inventory (NEO-FFI). The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and diagnostic analysis using SPSS software version 24.
Results: The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that the mean neuroticism scores in traumatized individuals are significantly higher than those without trauma history.Also, the average scores of extroversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness in traumatized people are significantly lower than those without a history of trauma. The results of the diagnostic analysis also showed that neuroticism and agreeableness are the most important predictors of trauma.
Discussion: In general, these results show the importance of personality traits in the occurrence of technical accidents. These findings can have many theoretical and practical implications in the field of selecting employees in different job positions, especially military technical units.
