Abstract
The study set out to examine the effect of follower personality traits on psychological contract by taking Spotlight Ethiopia P.L.C., to identify the relationship between personality traits, and age, to psychological contract, to determine the extent of their psychological contract to the organization, and to identify the level of psychological contract by gender. To this end, a multiple-question Likert scale questionnaire was prepared and shared to the employees via a Google Docs link. The research showed that conscientiousness, extroversion, and agreeableness have a positive effect on psychological contract while neuroticism has a negative effect. All the personality traits, however, were seen to have a relationship with psychological contract. There is a high level of psychological contract in Spotlight Ethiopia in general and for either gender as well
