This study aims to explore the influence of Big Five personality traits on career adaptability and its dimensions (concern, control, curiosity, confidence, and cooperation). The study is conducted on 350 Police officers working at the Commune police unit (not including Ward and Town Police). The results show that personality traits have an influence and can predict changes in overall career adaptability of Commune police.
