The data obtained were evaluated in computer environment by means of SPSS 22.0 statistical programme. Frequency, percentage, standard deviation, average statistics, correlation and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that school administrators had a high level of job commitment. It was concluded that school administrators have moderate level of emotional stability and high level of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience personality traits. It was observed that there was no relationship between school administrators' emotional stability personality trait and work engagement, but there were significant relationships between other personality dimensions and work engagement. The relationships between extraversion and work engagement were found to be negative, while the relationships between agreeableness and conscientiousness were found to be positive.
