Abstract

Personal personality and organizational climate are two important factors in the study of workplace ostracism. Based on the philosophical principle of dialectical relationship between internal and external factors, personal personality plays a major role as an internal cause, while organizational climate plays a supporting role as an external cause. In order to explore the relationship between employees' personal personality and workplace ostracism, this paper intends to take organizational climate as a moderating variable to investigate 300 employees in different industries and regions, and construct a research model on the relationship between employees' personal personality and workplace ostracism under the moderating effect of organizational climate. The results show that the extroversion, agreeableness, emotional stability and openness of experience in personal personality are negatively correlated with perceived workplace ostracism, and organizational climate plays a moderating role in employee agreeableness and emotional stability.
