This study analyzed how personality traits, team context, and the interaction between the two affect individual exploitation and exploration. Analyses of data from two Korean firms revealed that personality traits have an effect on individual exploitation and exploration activities. Specifically, the authors found that those with high-level openness to experiences engaged in high-level exploration activities. By contrast, those with high-level conscientiousness pursued high-level exploitation activities. For individual exploitation and exploration activities, the team context perceived by individuals was also important. Furthermore, this study confirmed the effect of the interaction between personality traits and team context on individual exploitation and exploration activities.

Annotation. Exacerbation and aggravation of psoriasis increases the chances of neurosis, depression, can significantly impair mental health through social stigma and leads to social isolation and maladaptation, a significant reduction in quality of life. Studying this problem from the standpoint of comparative assessment of the distribution of character accentuations in patients with different dermatoses can provide insight into how a certain level of adequacy of psychological adaptive response is associated with organic pathological process or genetically existing expression of certain traits. The aim of the study was to found the features of indicators of expression and features of accentuated personality traits in men with psoriasis without taking into account somatotype and in representatives of meso- and endo-mesomorphic somatotypes. Men aged 22 to 35 years, patients with psoriasis (n=100, including 32 with mild and 68 with severe course) at the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases with a course of postgraduate education National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya and Military Medical Clinical Center of the Central Region, conducted an anthropometric survey by V. V. Bunak Estimation of the expression and features of accentuated personality traits made according to G. Shmishek The reliability of the difference between the values between the independent quantitative values was determined using the U-Mann-Whitney test. In healthy subjects, taking into account and without taking into account the somatotype, it is seen that the type of physique did not significantly affect the severity of individual traits and their combinations in this group of people. With the increase in the course of psoriasis among subjects without somatotype, there is a decrease in the percentage of persons with hyperthymic and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with stuck and demonstrative and an increase – with emotional, pedantic, anxious, cyclothymic, excitable, dysthymic and exalted type of character accentuation; among patients of endo-mesomorphic somatotype there is a decrease in the percentage of people with hypertension and an increase – with stuck, demonstrative and excitable type of character accentuation. All this maintains a pathologically high level of affective tension, which disrupts the autonomic balance in the body, can be a pathogenic factor in the development of psychosomatic illness and leads to ineffective treatment of psoriasis.

PurposeIn continuation of Soylemez (2021), this study utilized equity theory and investigated how personal factors (personality traits) and community factors (ownership) influence relative generation of brand-oriented and community-oriented content.Design/methodology/approachA study of A/B testing was conducted with 104 online brand community (OBC) participants who had been active in an OBC in the last 30 days.FindingsMembers with a high level of conscientiousness, extroversion and neuroticism generate more brand-oriented content than community-oriented content. Openness to experience, agreeableness and community ownership have been found to have no significant effects.Practical implicationsThis research helps marketing practitioners on whether they should build their own online brand communities. The study also suggests that brands should adjust their community strategies based on the personality traits of community members and expectations from the community.Originality/valueThis is the first study that investigates how personality traits and community ownership influence the generation of different types of user-generated content (UGC).

This chapter focuses on knowledge-sharing barriers and their implications over knowledge sharing and individual innovative behavior and explores the role of knowledge sharing on individual innovative behavior. Considering limited studies in the literature, this study provides further evidences regarding the implications of knowledge-sharing barriers and knowledge sharing in the workplace. Data was collected from 83 academic staff in a higher education institution and analyzed with Smart PLS. The results showed that organization-related knowledge-sharing barriers were negatively related to knowledge sharing. The results also indicated that individual knowledge-sharing barriers had a negative effect on individual innovative behaviors. There was no link found in this study between knowledge sharing and individual innovative behavior. These findings provided empirical evidences to the further development of knowledge management and innovation research, and insights regarding how to better foster knowledge sharing and innovative behavior in academe.

During the 1990s, exploitation and exploration processes in the Gippsland Basin have been expanded to cater to a surge in mature field redevelopment activity, and have supported continued activity in the more traditional functions of exploration and development of new resources.The first major field redevelopment project was initiated in 1991 on the West Kingfish Field. Since 1991, similar programs conducted on the Mackerel, Perch, Fortescue and Kingfish Fields have significantly mitigated oil production decline in the basin. The success of the field redevelopment programs has been attributed to the use of multi-disciplinary field teams, the use of high end geophysical interpretation technologies, and the ability of the field teams to integrate and synthesise often voluminous quantities of production and geotechnical information to identify drilling opportunities.Areas where we continue to improve field redevelopment geotechnical processes include decreasing data acquisition and analysis cycle time, and advancing the precision of geotechnical predictions.With over 30 years of intensive exploration activity in the Gippsland Basin placing it in a mature phase of development, focus on the risk management of exploration activities has increased. Focussed research efforts to both develop new geotechnical technologies and more accurately assess the limitations of currently utilised technologies have also been undertaken to ensure an economically viable exploitation and exploration strategy for the basin.The structure of geotechnical teams in the 1990s has seen production and exploration functions amalgamate to ensure that the benefits of operations synergies provided by the high level of platform drilling activity are fully realised. This is enabling the knowledge from intensive field drilling programs to be more readily applied to the evaluation of exploration opportunities. Field re-development drilling activities are at historically high levels and are predicted to remain so into the foreseeable future. Given the mature nature of exploration in the basin, future exploration activities will be undertaken within the defined limits of our technologies to ensure the opportunity to achieve continued economic success is maximised.

Adolescence is a critical period for the emergence of a balanced personality in adults. Extraversion, neuroticism, and affective self-efficacy beliefs in emotion regulation showed to be good predictors of psychological well-being in adolescents. We analyzed the association between affective self-efficacy beliefs, personality traits, and psychological well-being of 179 Italian adolescents. We also analyzed the connection between adolescents’ filial self-efficacy beliefs and psychological well-being and possible moderating effects of self-efficacy beliefs on personality traits. Results show that extraversion, neuroticism, and self-efficacy beliefs in emotion regulation are correlated with psychological well-being, while filial self-efficacy does not. Self-efficacy beliefs do not show significant moderating effects on personality traits, even if self-efficacy beliefs in expressing positive emotions reduce negative characteristics of individuals with high level of psychoticism.
