Abstract
The present study extends the literature of personality and academic performance. It examines an interesting yet unanswered question: Does the impact of personality on academic performance depend on the economic background of an individual. It also investigates whether the effect of personality over academic performance changes with time. Based on the academic performance data on 33 different courses from a sample of 333 management students, spanning a period of 9 months, the present study attempts to understand personality and academic performance relationships through the lens of economic background and time. We argue that the effect of personality on academic performance changes with time: the negative effect erodes over time, and the positive effect strengthens over time. The implications of the study were discussed.
