Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the personality traits and well-being attributes, and to find out their role in predicting academic achievement of students pursuing post-graduate diploma in agri-business management. Data was collected from 166 students by administering the Big-Five Personality Inventory, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) questionnaires. The findings revealed that among the personality traits, neuroticism and openness were found higher in females compared to male students. However, such gender differences were not found with regard to happiness, life satisfaction and PWB. Except for neuroticism, personality traits were positively correlated with happiness, life satisfaction, and PWB. Academic achievement was positively associated with conscientiousness and negatively associated with neuroticism traits. The regression model on academic achievement predicts 11.4% of variation by considering personality (neuroticism and conscientiousness, being the strongest contributors) and well-being attributes.
