Abstract
- The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the intelligence quotient (IQ) of employees is associated with their job satisfaction and performance. The moderating effect of personality type has also been explored. Drawing on trait theory, a conceptual model has been developed, which links personality dimensions to job performance through satisfaction. Primary data were collected from 378 respondents from 10 Universities situated in Lahore, Pakistan, for empirically testing our model. Findings reveal that IQ is a predictor of employee's job performance and job satisfaction. Moreover, this relationship is also moderated by the personality type (A/B) of the respondents. The study outcomes will be helpful for the management of the institutions to frame policy guidelines for hiring employees and have more informed decisions in terms of personality types and IQ of employees.
