Research contributions to personality at work

Meer over het boek

Leuphana University of Lüneburg and the University of Minnesota hosted the international symposium on 'Personality at Work' in Lüneburg. This symposium was co-organized by Deniz S. Ones (University of Minnesota, USA) and Jürgen Deller (Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany). The symposium generated ideas that the organizers felt should be developed and disseminated further. Thus, selected papers were invited for refereed peer review for publication in this edited book. Personality continues to be a valued topic in a variety of settings. To some degree this is based on meta-analytic findings that have demonstrated the criterion-related validity of personality tests for predicting a variety of valued outcomes. This book focuses on personality in workplace settings. This volume is organized around five themes: - Personality and criterion related validity, - Construct validity investigations in personality, - Personality in career choice and organizational attraction, - Personality and leadership, - Personality and informational capabilities
