This book was released on 1983 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the personality traits and job satisfaction of non-managing professionals and managerial personnel. The study proposed to answer the following questions: 1. Are there differences in job satisfaction between managerial personnel and n on-managing professionals? 2. Are there relationships among job satisfaction and personality needs for either non-managing professionals and managerial personnel? Five paired groups of IC managerial personnel subjects and 20 non-managing professional subjects were studied: lawyers, engineers, scientists, financial accountants and data processors. Each subject included in the study had had at least five years of appropriate professional experience. Discriminant function analyses were run on personality and job satisfaction data for professional group and its corresponding managerial personnel group, and ail managerial personnel groups combined. Each cf the 10 functions yielded significant results. Significant relationships were found among job satisfaction scores and the personality needs for each of the groups. However, there was little consistency across relationships. Both managerial personnel and non-managing professionals were satisfied with their jobs, although managerial personnel somewhat more so. Both managerial personnel and non-managing professionals also were characterized by higher needs levels than normal populations in Achievement, Endurance, Harm avoidance, Nurturance, Order, and Understanding. Conversely, they had lower needs levels in Aggression, Autonomy, Impulsivity, Play, and Social Recognition. They were about average in Exhibition and Affiliation. The managerial personnel had above average needs levels in Dominance while the non-managing personnel were average. No factors consistently discriminated among all groups. It appears therefore that relationships among job satisfaction and personality traits are unique for each of the five career fields studied. Accordingly, general statements about job satisfaction and personality traits cannot be made, nor can general statements be made about these factors in regard to differentiating among managerial personnel and non-managing professionals.

This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee selection has long stood at the practical forefront of industrial/organizational psychology. Today's social, business, and economic climates require ongoing adaptations by those who select organizations' personnel, and research on the topic helps gauge the impact of these adaptations and their implications for human performance and potential. The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Assessment and Selection codifies the wealth of new research surrounding employee selection (web-based assessments, social networking, globalization of organizations), situating them alongside more traditional practices to establish the best and most relevant research for both professionals and academics. Comprising chapters from authors in both the private sector and academia, this volume is organized into seven parts: (1) historical and social context of the field of assessment and selection; (2) research strategies; (3) individual difference constructs that underlie effective performance; (4) measures of predictor constructs; (5) employee performance and outcome assessment; (6) societal and organizational constraints on selection practice; and (7) implementation and sustainability of selection systems. While providing a comprehensive review of current research and practice, the purpose of this handbook is to provide an up-to-date profile of each of the areas addressed and highlight current questions that deserve additional attention from researchers and practitioners. This compendium is essential reading for industrial/organizational psychologists and human resource managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing from recent developments regarding the contextual nature of personality (e.g., Wood & Roberts, 2006), we conducted two studies (one cross-sectional and one longitudinal over one year) to examine the validity of work personality in predicting job satisfaction and its mediation of the effect of global personality on job satisfaction. Study 1 showed that: a) individuals vary systematically in their personality between roles: they were significantly more conscientious and open to experience, and less extraverted at work compared to at home; b) work personality was a better predictor of job satisfaction than both global personality and home personality; and c) work personality demonstrated incremental validity above and beyond the other two personality measures. Study 2 further showed that each of the work personality dimensions fully mediated the association between its corresponding global personality trait and job satisfaction. Evidence for the discriminant validity of the findings is also presented "--Authors' abstract.

Download or read book Personality at Work written by Adrian Furnham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personality at Work examines the increasingly controversial role of individual differences in predicting and determining behaviour at work. It asks whether psychological tests measuring personality traits can predict behaviour at work, such as job satisfaction, productivity, as well as absenteeism and turnover. Importantly, it is a critical and comprehensive review of that literature from psychology, sociology and management science which lies at the interface of personality theory, occupational psychology and organizational behaviour. Drawing on a vast body of published material, Adrian Furnham describes for the first time current state of knowledge in this area. The result is a volume which will be an enormously useful resource to the researcher and practitioner, as well as students of psychology, management science and sociology. Personality at Work is the only exhaustive and incisive multi-disciplinary work to assess the role of psychological testing in the management of the work place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this influential work argues for the enduring stability of personality across adult development. It also offers a highly accessible introduction to the five-factor model of personality. Critically reviewing different theories of personality and adult development, the authors explain the logic behind the scientific assessment of personality, present a comprehensive model of trait structure, and examine patterns of trait stability and change after age 30, incorporating data from ongoing cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. The second edition has been updated throughout with the authors' new findings, ideas, and interpretations, and includes a new chapter on cross-cultural research. It culminates in an additional new chapter that presents a comprehensive theory of personality grounded in the five-factor model.
