The study aims to identify if both economic variables and personality has a
significant relationship with subjective well-being. In addition, this study intends to

personality and subjective well-being. Atotal 590 of questionnaires were distributed
to cement companies,and471 questionnaire was completed and returned, which most
of them (85.4 percent) were male. The results showed that mostly personality
dispositions were significantly related to subjective well-being and economic
variables just partially related to life satisfaction. The moderating results were also
partially supported.Results shows these relationship mostly moderated by extrinsic
aspects which are directly related to the job context rather than intrinsic aspects
which refer to nature of the job. Lastly, discussion of the findings, implication,
limitation, recommendation for future study and conclusion were presented. One
