Abstract
This study aims to determine the effects of personality on organizational dissent behavior and the moderating role of leader-member exchange on this relationship. For this purpose, the data collected with a survey method from 750 white-collar employers who are working in different industries. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the data. Later on, the structural model was formed through the hypothesis, tested by the structural equation modeling. Results prove that while conscientiousness and openness to experience affect articulated dissent positively, agreeablenesss, and emotional stability affect this dissent behaviour negatively. While openness to experience and emotional stability affect latent dissent positively, extraversion, and agreeableness affect negatively. Displaced dissent is affected positively by openness to experience and emotional stability but conscientiousness affects displaced dissent negatively. The moderating role of the leader-member exchange is statistically significant only in the relationships between extraversion and conscientiousness personality traits and organizational dissent behaviour.
