ABSTRACT
Our research explored the effect of personality trait and risk level to generation and intensity of regret. The results showed: 1) The main effect of the level of risk was significant. At high risk level, subjects generated higher frequency and intensity of regret than at low risk level. However, the main effect of personality trait was not significant; 2) Interaction of personality trait and risk level was significant. At high risk level, pessimistic subject generated higher intensity regret than at low risk level while the intensity of regret of optimistic subject did not show a significant difference at different risk levels

With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
