THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS
Openness
- the degree to which a person is curious,
original, intellectual, creative, and open to new
ideas

People high in openness are highly motivated to


learn new skills, and they do well in training settings
They also have an advantage when they enter into
a new organization. Their open-mindedness leads
them to seek a lot of information and feedback
about how they are doing and to build relationships,
which leads to quicker adjustment to the new job.
Conscientiousness
- the degree to which a person is organized, systematic,
punctual, achievement oriented, and dependable

Conscientiousness is the one


personality trait that uniformly predicts
how high a person’s performance will
be, across a variety of occupations and
jobs.
In addition to their high performance,
conscientious people have higher levels
of motivation to perform, lower levels of
turnover, lower levels of absenteeism,
and higher levels of safety performance
at work.
Extraversion
- the degree to which a person is outgoing,
talkative, and sociable, and enjoys being in
social situations

Extraverts do well in social situations, and as a


result they tend to be effective in job interviews.
They have an easier time than introverts when
adjusting to a new job. They actively seek
information and feedback, and build effective
relationships, which helps with their
adjustment.
Agreeableness
- The degree to which a person is nice,
tolerant, sensitive, trusting, kind, and warm.
People who are high in agreeableness are
likeable people who get along with others. Not
surprisingly, agreeable people help others at
work consistently, and this helping behavior is
not dependent on being in a good mood.
They are also less likely to retaliate when other
people treat them unfairly.
Neuroticism
- the degree to which a person is anxious,
irritable, aggressive, temperamental, and
moody
These people have a tendency to have
emotional adjustment problems and
experience stress and depression on a
habitual basis.
People very high in neuroticism experience a
number of problems at work.
Values and Attitudes

- refer to stable life goals that people have,


reflecting what is most important to them
- Broad preferences concerning appropriate
courses of action or outcomes
The values that are important to people
tend to affect the types of decisions they
make, how they perceive their
environment, and their actual behaviors.
Early family experiences are important
influences over the dominant values.
Values of a generation also change and
evolve in response to the historical context
that the generation grows up in.
The values a person holds will affect his or
her employment.
Attitude
- A predisposition to respond in a positive or
negative way to someone or something in
one’s environment
- Influences by values and are acquired
from the same sources as values
- Focus on specific people or objects,
whereas values have a more general
focus and are more stable than attitude
Self-esteem
- the degree to which a person
has overall positive feelings
about his or herself
People with high self-esteem
view themselves in a positive
light, are confident, and
respect themselves.
On the other hand, people
with low self-esteem
experience high levels of
self-doubt and question their
self-worth.
Self-Efficacy
- a belief that one can perform a specific task
successfully
Self-efficacy is different from
. other personality traits in that it
is job specific.
People with high self-efficacy
setting higher goals for
themselves and being more
committed to these goals,
whereas people with low self-
efficacy tend to procrastinate.
