I linked to Wikipedia because it properly contextualizes the five-factor model and somewhat accurately summarizes the research. If you need academic sources try searching for the following terms (or some variation) at Google scholar: five-factor agreeableness salary I get 10,000 results for that search and the teasers show the overwhelming trend of the findings ("a significant negative relationship between agreeableness and salary", "agreeableness is negatively related to initial career success", etc). An online readable version of the paper you mention as being inaccessible is the first result for a Google search on the exact title. Subsequent results do seem to be either media coverage or paywall spam. http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1025&context=cahrs_researchlink http://digitalcommons.ilr.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?ar...

The paper you linked is the one I was able to read -- I linked the full text in my previous post. The paper I was unable to access was "Development and Validation of an International English Big-Five Mini-Markers" which I was interested in for its apparent validation of the model at a more general level. I peered through the Google Scholar results this morning, and I did indeed find several approachable articles on the subject. For those interested: [1] "The five-factor model of personality and career success" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001879100917573 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001879100... [2] "The Big Five Personality Dimensions and Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1744-6570.1991.tb00688.x/abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1744-6570.1991.... [3] "The effects of personality on earnings" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167487004000546 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167487004... [4] "Ability and Personality Predictors of Salary, Perceived Job Success, and Perceived Career Success in the Initial Career Stage" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2389.2008.00435.x/abstract?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&userIsAuthenticated=false http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-2389.2008.... The results are varying, [1] and [2] confirm, while [2] seems to disconfirm (haven't read that one beyond the abstract yet as I need to go to work). [3] appears to confirm but only finds this relationship holds true for women. In any case, thanks 'trevelyan for pointing me towards some interesting weekend reading!
