ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to determine whether any personality characteristics, as measured by the Holland Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI), influenced the efficacy of the Jobclub programme. The study used 25 voluntary subjects to assess the relationship between personality profiles and training outcomes, in order to determine whether certain personality factors predisposed subject receptiveness to training success. The results indicated that no relationship existed between personality profiles, as measured by the VPI, and outcomes to the Jobclub training programme. The implications of this finding is that programmes that employ techniques used by Jobclub can be applied in a wide variety of situations, such as in schools or among specifically targeted populations.

The Relationship

The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between personality, as measured by the five global factors of Cattell's 16PF, and occupational interests, as measured by Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI). Data were obtained from 122 undergraduate students studying various degree programs at a Melbourne university. Partial support was found for the hypothesis that vocational interests correlate with personality measures. The hypothesis that students completing different vocationally orientated degree programs would produce discrete personality profiles received limited support. Distinctly different RIASEC profiles, however, were evident across the four course groups. It was concluded that an understanding of both vocational interest and personality theory would enhance the services provided by career guidance professionals.

And Training

A personality inventory was given to 509 USAF pilot candidates. The items were combined into five measures, two of which differentiated training successes from failures; graduates demonstrated higher self-confidence and less dogmatism. As an alternative approach to examining simple relationships between personality characteristics and training outcomes, personality profiles were examined as predictors of performance criteria. The value of this apporach was demonstrated by better discrimination of training graduates from non-graduates. The implication of these results are discussed, as are plans for other research projects designed to replicate and extend the findings from the current study.

Changes in the organization is important to retain its existence and continues to grow. This study attempted to see the connection between personality factors (the big five factor), organizational change readiness and the criteria of World Class University at University X. Based on the analysis of qualitative and statistical tests associated with the third link variable, then showed that the personality and organizational change readiness have an important role for the achievement of world class criteria university. This research showed that personality profiles of  extraversion and openess to experience as well as aspects of the vision of change and acceptance phase to be decisive for the index of world class university. This result seems to be supported by the presence of the relationship between extraversion profile with aspects of the vision of change and acceptance. The profile of openness to experience also correlated with aspects of vision of change and acceptance.

The Relationship

Background. Several population-based studies have shown that self-perceived health is a powerful predictor of health outcomes. The extent to which self-perceived health is associated with personality characteristics is, however, largely unknown. We aimed to study the relationship between self-perceived health and personality among adults in the community.Method. Data were drawn from the Midlife Development in the United States Survey, a representative sample of adults age 25–74. MANOVA was used to determine the relationship between self-perception of health and personality using the five-factor model.Results. Personality factors were significantly associated with perception of poor health. Among those without self-reported medical problems (N = 834), openness to experience, extraversion and conscientiousness were associated with perception of good health, while neuroticism was associated with the perception of poor health. In subjects with self-reported medical problems (N = 2772), high scores on agreeableness, openness to experience, extraversion and conscientiousness, and low neuroticism scores were associated with perception of good health. These associations remained significant after adjustments for age, gender, race, marital status and education.Conclusions. Self-perceived health is strongly associated with personality characteristics, both in subjects with and without self-reported medical problems. It is suggested that personality characteristics could contribute to the previously reported associations between self-perceived health and health outcomes.

Analysis of 102 undergraduate women's responses replicated the 1993 findings of Janzen, Saklofske, and Kelly considering the relationship between personality characteristics based on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised and bulimic symptomatology as measured by the BULIT—R. Consistent with Janzen, et al., the strongest relationship with bulimic symptomatology was for Neuroticism. Also consistent was the lack of relationship with Extraversion scores. At variance with the earlier findings was a weak positive association between reports of bulimic symptoms and scores on Psychoticism.

SynopsisThis study examined the relationship between personality factors and depression in subjects who may have a familial vulnerability to depression (i.e. first-degree relatives of depressed patients). Four groups comprised our study sample: relatives who had never experienced a psychiatric episode of depression; relatives who had experienced a psychiatric episode of depression but were currently well; relatives who had never experienced a psychiatric episode of depression but were currently depressed; and relatives who had experienced a past history of depression and were currently depressed. Of the four personality characteristics measured (Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Lie), the only significant effects between groups appeared to be attributable to Neuroticism (N).The strongest association was between current illness and N. There was also a tendency for subjects with a past history of depression to have an inflated N score. However, this appeared to be associated with the presence of current depressive symptomatology. Our findings indicate that when current symptomatology is taken into account Neuroticism does not seem to reflect the trait of liability to depression, but is strongly associated with the state of being depressed.

The Relationship

This study focused on the idea that there are predictable differences between those individuals who opt for Scientific rather than the Commerce/Practitioner jobs and consulting assignments. A total of 2278 adults from a variety of occupations completed three validated questionnaires: the first assessed the behavioural tendency of an individual when one is exposed to stress and which could derail one’s business career (HDS: Hogan Development Survey); the second the values and preferences that indicate work motivation (MVPI: The Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory), and the third, seven bright-side personality factors (HPI: Hogan Personality Inventory). The MVPI measured interests in scientific and commercial/enterprising activities. Correlations, regressions and SEM indicated both similarities and differences in the relationship between personality traits and values. Bright-side personality traits accounted for more the variance for those interested in Science while dark-side traits accounted for more variance for those interested in the Commerce. The biggest difference occurred in Inquisitiveness (Curiosity, Openness to Experience) which was much higher for those interested in science. Implications for personnel selection, job-fit and promotion were discussed.

Background: It seems that personality traits affect engagement and the quality of professional life, which is mediated by the emotional and affective states of nursing personnel. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to analyze the relationships between the components of empathy, affect, personality, and engagement, find personality profiles, identify the variables with the most explanatory value, and analyze the mediating role of the variables susceptible to intervention in the relationship between personality and the components of engagement. Methods: A sample of 1268 nurses completed the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, 10-item Big Five Inventory, Basic Empathy Scale, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Results: Empathy, affect, and personality influence engagement factors in nurses. The vigor and absorption factors of engagement showed a positive relationship with empathy, positive affect, and all of the Big Five personality factors except neuroticism with which the relationship was negative. Personality affected the vigor, dedication, and absorption factors of engagement, and cognitive empathy mediated this relationship. Conclusions: This study shows the need to continue investigating the factors that affect and mediate in engagement of nursing professionals.

117 foster mothers and 60 women who had children but were not foster mothers responded to Holland's Vocational Preference Inventory. Data were analyzed by age cohorts of under 41 and 41 yr. and over to determine whether foster mothers differed from non-foster mothers and if younger foster mothers differed from older ones in personality. Foster mothers scored significantly higher than non-foster mothers on the social scale and lower on the enterprising scale. The younger cohort of foster mothers differed from older ones by attaining higher scores on the realistic, social, enterprising and artistic scales. Such high scores reflect personality characteristics highly appropriate for substitute parents. These characteristics also suggest that younger foster mothers take a more assertive approach in this role which may be helpful in making necessary changes in the foster care system.
