Using the Five Factor Model (FFM) of personality, the researcher explored the relationship between personality traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) and level of affect toward common COR program duties (General Office, Personnel Management, Interpersonal, and Program Specific). Results indicated Extraversion was positively correlated with Interpersonal job task affect. Implications to practice and suggestions for future research are discussed. 101 p.dissertations, academicRecreation and tourismPersonality psychologyOccupational psychologyAdventure educationBig Five traitsCampus recreationEmployeesOutdoor programsProfessional staffRecreation leaders--PsychologyPersonality assessmentOutdoor recreation--ManagementAn Exploration of Collegiate Outdoor Recreation Professionals' Personality Traits and Job Task AffectMaster's Thesis
