(Extraversion, Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and
Openness to Experience) to three job performance criteria (job proficiency,
training proficiency, and personnel data) for five occupational groups
(professionals, police, managers, sales, and skilled/semi‐skilled). Results
indicated that one dimens... hiện toàn bộ

The framework proposes that organizations are functions of the kinds of people
they contain and, further, that the people there are functions of an

A quantitative review of 55 studies supports the conclusion that job attitudes
are robust predictors of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The

nonprofessional groups. Other attitudinal measures (perceived fairness,
organizational commitment, lea... hiện toàn bộ

Despite an emerging body of research on a personality trait termed core
self‐evaluations, the trait continues to be measured indirectly. The present
study reported the results of a series of studies that developed and tested the
validity of the Core Self‐Evaluations Scale (CSES), a direct and relatively
brief measure of the trait. Results indicated that the 12‐item CSES was
reliable, displayed a u... hiện toàn bộ

The purpose of this study was to investigate conflicting findings in previous
research on personality and job performance. Meta‐analysis was used to (a)
assess the overall validity of personality measures as predictors of job
performance, (b) investigate the moderating effects of several study
characteristics on personality scale validity, and (c) appraise the

We developed and tested a model linking proactive personality and career success
through a set of four behavioral and cognitive mediators. A 2‐year longitudinal
design with data from a sample of 180 full‐time employees and their supervisors
was used. Results from structural equation modeling showed that proactive
personality measured at Time 1 was positively related to innovation, political
