This study aims to investigate the structural relationship of the big five personality factors with job happiness and success among employees of an industrial complex. In this study, the population consisted of employees (340 persons) of an industrial company producing petroleum products in Isfahan (Isfahan, Iran), of which 189 persons were selected by using simple random sampling. The data were gathered by distributing big five personality factors inventory (short form), job happiness and career success questionnaires. Data were analyzed by using pearson correlation coefficient and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed positive and significant relationships between job happiness and openness to experience, agreeableness, and extroversion, and between career success and conscientiousness, extroversion, and agreeableness. Structural equation modeling results showed that career success was indirectly interrelated with agreeableness through job happiness and a direct relationship with conscientiousness. Accordingly, job happiness mediates the relationship between agreeableness and career success.
