Introduction: Hospitals, as one of the important institutions providing health care services in the health sector, have a high percentage of key resources in this sector to meet the needs of consumers. This research aims to investigate the relationship between personality traits, cultural intelligence and career adaptability among employees of hospitals in Yazd province.
Method: The present research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-correlational in terms of nature and method. The statistical population of this research includes all employees of hospitals in Yazd province. 384 people were selected by stratified-random sampling method. Mccrae and Costa's Big Five Personality Factors (2004), Cultural Intelligence Scale by Ang et al. (2004), and Dawis and Lofquist's Work Adjustment Questionnaire (2004) were used to collect the data. To analyze the data, descriptive tests and analytical tests, including correlation, factor analysis and model fit, were used by SPS software and Smart PayLS software.
Findings: Based on the results, this research shows that there is a positive and significant relationship between personality traits (extraversion, openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and cultural intelligence and career adaptability and that there is a negative and significant relationship between neuroticism and cultural intelligence and career adaptability. There is a positive and significant relationship between personality and cultural intelligence and there is also a positive and significant relationship between cultural intelligence and career adaptability.
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, hospital employees can decrease the negative personality traits in work life and work environment by being aware of the effect of personality traits and cultural intelligence on career adaptability, and increase their ability to adjust to their work environment by knowing themselves and managing behaviors and emotions properly. Officials should design programs to promote employees' cultural intelligence, thereby increasing their ability to adjust to their jobs.
