Survey design was used for this study and convinces sampling technique was used in collecting data. A questionnaire was used in collecting data and Pearson moment correlation and independent t-test were used to test the stated hypotheses. The study tested five hypotheses, but three were accepted while two were rejected. The result revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience and job performance. There is also a significant positive relationship between perception and job performance.
