Job satisfaction and job performance relationships are mediated by:

A) a person's locus of control
B) a person's Big Five personality characteristics
C) both of these
D) neither of these

Research has shown that both a person's locus of control and Big Five personality characteristics can mediate the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. A strong internal locus of control has been found to lead to higher job satisfaction and job performance, while a strong external locus of control has been found to have the opposite effect. Additionally, certain personality traits such as conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience have also been found to affect the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. Therefore, it is likely that both a person's locus of control and Big Five personality characteristics can mediate this relationship.
