Abstract
The present study examined personality traits and organizational variables as predictors of accident-involvement in bus drivers. The population of this research was from a company in Tehran. The sample consisted of 150 subjects from accident-involved bus drivers and another equal number from accident-free drivers who were selected by the use of simple random sampling. The hypothesis, concerning the predictive roles of personality traits and organizational variables (as job satisfaction, organizational justice and interpersonal conflict at work) in distinguishing accident-involved drivers from accident-free ones, was tested. In order to analyze the data, both discriminant analysis and descriptive statistics were used. Findings revealed the fact that accident-involvement can be predicted from the two sets of research variables. The results of the study and the model was discussed in the paper.
