The Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) was established on 1st March 1972 as a state – owned statutory body with the general aim of promoting the commercial, industrial and socio-economic development of the State. SEDC was established under the Perbadanan Pembangunan Ekonomi Sarawak Ordinance (Sarawak Cap. 35), a law duly passed by the Sarawak State Assembly in accordance with the powers conferred on and delegated to the State Government of Sarawak under the Constitution of Malaysia. While SEDC is a statutory body established under the laws of the State of Sarawak, it also comes under the purview of the Federal Government of Malaysia through the Federal Ministry of Finance (MOF). The framework of this study was adapted from between Personality Traits and Job Satisfaction. This study required implementation of a composite survey consisting of the demographic questionnaire, personality traits questionnaire and job satisfaction questionnaire. In order to get the data, census technique was used to the staff in Sarawak Economic
Development Corporation. A total of 100 questionnaires are distributed and 83 are returned back from the support staff. This study helps pave a path for researchers to understand the importance of personality traits among the staff to ensure they achieve staff job satisfaction.
