Despite the growing recognition of the heterogenous nature of how employees perceive Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP), limited research has explored the antecedents of employee perceptions, even less in the public sector. While individual differences have been suggested theoretically, the empirical exploration of employee differences in impacting their perception is still limited.This study investigates the relationship between employees' personality traits based on the Big 5 taxonomy. Drawing on Cognitive Appraisal Theory, this research examines how personality traits shape HRMP perceptions and, subsequently, affect job-related well-being. Data was collected among publicly employed nurses, using an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that ‘conscientiousness’ is a significant predictor of HRMP perceptions, which in turn positively impacts both negative and positive affective dimensions of well-being. Conversely, other personality traits did not show significant effects on HRMP perceptions. The article discusses potential explanations for these findings and offers practical and empirical implications.
