Abstract:

Video Conferences became a big part not only in school settings but also in the industrial and organizational field of work when this COVID-19 pandemic started. This study aims to determine the influence of the big five personality trait’s Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism towards video conferencing fatigue among work from home workers. Using a non-probability sampling technique, specifically, purposive sampling, a total of 111 work-from-home office employees participated in the study and employed a descriptive correlational design. The results suggest that the domain Neuroticism has a significant positive correlation with Video Conference Fatigue with the use of Pearson’s r correlation. However, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness is not significantly related with the outcome variable. These findings suggest that consistent with the literature, those individuals with high in Neuroticism tend to report more fatigue and with the current study, a higher video conferencing fatigue.
