Personality, Culture Fit, and Job Outcomes on Australian Antarctic Stations

This study compares the personality characteristics of Australian Antarctic expeditioners with a normative population using the Revised Neo Personality Inventory. It examines the relationship between personality and perceived fit with Antarctic station culture. The study also investigates the relationship between personality, individual attitudes, and job outcomes, including job satisfaction and intention to return to the Antarctic. Participants were 117 men and women who participated in Australian Antarctic expeditions between 1950 and 2000. Results show that expeditioners scored lower on neuroticism and higher on openness compared to the normative population. A relationship between personality and perceived fit with Antarctic station culture is found. Results also show a link between personality and job outcomes, including role conflict, job satisfaction, and actual return to the Antarctic.
