Because, companies are seeking employees with new skills such as analytical thinking or problem solving in the new industrial revolution. Therefore, innovation competencies of individuals will be one of the skill set to reach the goal of sustainable growth through innovation. This research aims to identify the impact of personality traits on innovation competencies of individuals.
