Personality
and Work: Reconsidering the Role of Personality in Organizations
Murray Barrick (Editor), Ann Marie Ryan (Editor)
Description
The subject of personality has received increasing attention from
industrial/organizational psychologists in both research and practice settings over the
past decade. But while there is an overabundance of information related to the narrow area
of personality testing and employee selection, there has been no definitive source
offering a broader perspective on the overall topic of personality in the workplace.
Personality and Work at last provides an in-depth examination of the role of personality
in work behavior. An array of expert authors discusses the connection of personality to a
wide range of outcomes beyond performance, including counterproductive behaviors,
contextual performance, retaliatory behaviors, retention, learning, knowledge creation,
and the process of sharing that knowledge. Throughout the book, the authors present
theoretical perspectives, introduce new models and frameworks, and integrate and
synthesize prior studies in ways that will stimulate future research and practice.
