This study explores the relevance of the Big Five personality traits ;openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism; for project managers in their professional roles. By conducting a systematic review of existing literature, the research aims to understand how these traits potentially contribute to various aspects of project leadership. Findings indicate that while each trait offers specific advantages for managing projects, no single trait encompasses all necessary managerial skills. The study suggests that combinations of these traits can influence leadership capabilities, reflecting the complexity of personality's role in effective project management. For example, traits such as extraversion and agreeableness may enhance communication and team dynamics, whereas conscientiousness may correlate with planning and risk management efficiencies. However, further research is needed to draw definitive conclusions about the specific impacts of each trait. The study highlights the importance of viewing personality traits from a broader perspective, where they interact to contribute to the diverse competencies required for successful project management.
