Organisations face new challenges in today’s competitive business conditions, particularly in terms of supporting and retaining a committed employee (Santra & Mishra, 2013).

The data was collected from 50 pharmacists in Kerala who are employed by others. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The tools used are NEO Five Factor Inventory – 3 (FORM S) and Organisational Commitment Scale (Upinder Dhar, Prashant Mishra & D. K Srivastava, 2002). Using correlational research design using a quantitative approach the statistical technique of correlation was being done. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant relationship between openness to experience and organisational commitment and agreeableness and organisational commitment.
