Abstract :
The purpose of the present research is to compare the personality traits and life satisfaction of pilots and technicians. The research is causal-comparative and the participants are 61 pilots and technicians of Navid Helicopter Services Company. Personality traits were evaluated using NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1980) and life satisfaction was measured using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (Diener et al., 1985). The results showed that the distribution of scores of personality traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) and life satisfaction was normal in pilots and technicians. There was a significant difference between pilots and technicians in terms of personality traits and life satisfaction. It was also revealed that pilots have significantly higher level of satisfaction with life than technicians.
