• Description:
  Objective: This paper seeks to demonstrate the conceptual support for how individual difference such as extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness, trait anger, and locus of control moderate the established stressor-strain model as demonstrated through the job stress model. Specifically, the aim of this paper is to establish the conceptual links of that individual personality differences can have on health related strains through the job stress model. Methods: The emotion-centered model of job stress proposes that an individual's personal characteristics will moderate their responses to their perceived stressors and shape how those responses are evaluated and experienced. Results: Although the role of personality as a moderator of individual behavior has been a topic of interest for years only a handful of studies have examined their effects in the context of the social stressor-strain relationship or through the job stress model. Data to test these results is currently being collected Conclusion: Research has focused on conflict as either a broad non-domain specific construct, as a non-work interpersonal form of conflict, or used stand in constructs representing personality variables. Future research should highlight the potential moderating factors of personality in the stressor-strain relationship and assist in addressing current research gaps. Furthermore, this study also begins to conceptually bridge the gap between interpersonal conflict and incivility, answering the 2011 call by Hershcovis, which challenged occupational health researchers to gain a better understanding of how the various forms of workplace aggression interact and influence one another.
