Many studies have explored this relationship and generated abundant empirical survey data. However, domestic literature has not conducted integrated meta-analysis on this issue in Taiwan. After searching for studies during August 2001 and July 2011 from the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan and the PerioPath Index to Taiwan Periodical Literature System, National Central Library, we collected 1,134 correlations from 86 articles and examined the relationship between the Five-Factor Model of personality and Job Satisfaction by using Meta-analysis. Subsequently, we investigated whether the correlation between the Five-Factor Model and Job Satisfaction was affected by moderators. The results indicated that the traits in the Five-Factor Model was moderately and positively correlated with Job Satisfaction (Extraversion vs. Job Satisfaction: r ̅=0.319; Agreeableness vs. Job Satisfaction: r ̅=0.296; Consciousness vs. Job Satisfaction: r r ̅=0.303; Emotional Stability vs. Job Satisfaction: r ̅=0.243; and Openness vs. Job Satisfaction: r ̅=0.217). The subscales of Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and Job Descriptive Index were used to analyze the correlation between personality traits and satisfaction. The results showed that moderately positive correlations between traits and job satisfaction existed in each subscale. In testing the moderating effects, the results showed that Job satisfaction measurement tools exerted moderating effects on the relationships between Extraversion and Job satisfaction and between Openness and Job Satisfaction. Occupation also moderated the correlation between Personality Traits and Job Satisfaction, suggesting that correlation between Personality Traits and Job Satisfaction differed among various fields of occupations. Finally, we proposed discussion and suggestions based on the results to provide references for practices and future research.
