Cognitive ability, personality, and experience: evidence for differential impact on job performance factors

Slaughter, Andrew Joseph 29 August 2005 (has links)
Using a sample of 443 participants employed in a variety of jobs, the interactions between cognitive ability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, task experience, and task and contextual performance were explored. Results suggest that task experience is a better predictor of task performance than contextual performance; that agreeableness is associated with greater levels of contextual performance, but only for those lower in cognitive ability; and that conscientiousness moderates the interaction between cognitive ability and task experience on task performance. Specifically, it was found that for higher levels of conscientiousness, task performance converged for those of different cognitive abilities when task experience was high; likewise, for lower levels of conscientiousness, task performance diverged for those of different cognitive abilities when task experience was high. The impact and limitations of these results are discussed.

Systematisk Arbetsmiljöutbildning i en svensk kommun

Salomonsson, Louise January 2011 (has links)
Arbetsmiljöverket har under 2008 och 2009 gjort inspektioner hos Hudiksvalls kommun. Arbetsmiljöverket konstaterade i samband med dessa inspektioner att chefer och arbetsledare saknade kunskaper om arbetsmiljölagen och dess föreskrifter. En utbildningsplan inom kommunen var lagd under 2009 för att rätta till dessa brister. Hudiksvalls kommun har en önskan att veta om utbildningen i det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet gav förbättrade kunskaper inom området. För att ta reda på om utbildningen gav förbättrade kunskaper har en undersökning gjorts mellan två grupper, varav den ena inte har gått arbetsmiljöutbildningen. Undersökningens syfte har varit att se eventuella skillnader bland grupperna, och resultatet visar att de som gått utbildningen hade bättre kunskaper i arbetsmiljöarbete. / The Work Environment Authority, made visits to themunicipalityofHudiksvallin 2008 and2009.

To find out if the training resulted in improved knowledge, a study was made between the two groups, which one of has not been educated in working environment training. The purpose of the surveys has been to see any differences among the groups, and the results showed that the education had increased the knowledge on these issues among supervisors and managers.

Development and Construct Validation of a Measure of Soft Skills Performance

Kantrowitz, Tracy Michelle 10 April 2005 (has links)
Despite the growing interest in studying the dimensions and prediction of task and contextual performance, little empirical attention has been given to studying the nature of soft skills performance. Soft skills (i.e., intra- and inter-personal work skills that facilitate the application of technical skills and knowledge), such as interpersonal skills (e.g., developing rapport) and communication skills (e.g., adjusting your message to the target audience) are highly sought by organizations (Zedeck and Goldstein, 2000). However, little is known about the underlying dimensions of soft skills performance, or about the individual differences variables that predict performance in this domain. In the current set of studies I examined the dimensionality of soft skills performance, developed measures to assess soft skills performance from self and supervisor perspectives, and validated the measures of performance in a nomological network of non-ability individual differences and existing performance measures. Study 1 involved asking subject matter experts to provide a master list and critical incidents of soft skills. Data from Study 1 served as the stimuli in Study 2 for sorting and reduction of skills into dimensions of soft skills performance. A construct and criterion validation approach was taken in Study 3 to measure soft skills performance in relation to individual differences variables in a nomological network. Results showed that the taxonomy of soft skills performance was composed of seven clusters, but that the measure of soft skills performance was unidimensional. Personality and motivational variables significantly predicted soft skills performance through their influence on proximal motivational processes.

Otherwise, nonwork-related activities comprise of social/communicative purposes (using internet to communicate with friends and co-workers inside and outside companies) and Entertainment/informational purposes (acquiring information about weather, entertainment, news etc.). Through literature research, there are evidences suggesting that different purposes of internet usage has a significant effect on job playfulness, while performance will increase, with accompanying job playfulness enhanced.

LIN, YING-TZU 08 September 2011 (has links)
Organizations nowadays want employees who are flexible, adaptable, autonomous, creative, willing to learn, self-motivated, and able to fit productively into teams to satisfy instable and varied consumer demands. Consequently, job performance no more relies on repetitive and routine tasks which traditionally could be completed and improved by working-hard only. Nevertheless, the economy in the world is becoming dynamic, rapid and unpredictable for sure. Transparently workers will need to unceasingly increase their skill base to experience workplace success in the future. Therefore, management scholars suggest organizations who want to survive or outperform of the time may need to consider traits in addition of conscientiousness when making hiring decisions. The Big Five undoubtedly provides the general and basic consideration of personality. As the environment nowadays changes, not only the Big Five but also more advanced and specific personality constructs for advantageous solutions hitting the mark are needed. Playfulness, defined as a multidimensional personality with curiosity, absorption, sense of humor, manifest joy and childlikeness factors, may be one promising personality which replies the call from the academic and plays as the alternative selection assessment tool for selection to the practical simultaneously. Playfulness has been emphasized in child development, education, and clinical counseling fields for a long time. This personality fosters optimal human function and accompanies intrinsic motivation according to developmental psychology and positive psychology perspectives. Notwithstanding its importance, playfulness in adults does not catch enough attention of the academic. This study first empirically tests relationship between playfulness and job performance (in-role performance, creative performance) and clarifies the discrepancy of style effects on different dimensions of performance which may better explain the phenomena in the workplace. Second, this study moves a step forward to propose a personality construct from developmental psychology triangle especially favorable to selection consideration. Third, through the lens of working behavior style, the results of this study also better explain the mechanism link playfulness and performance that throw light on training direction for people in organizations already. By defining working-smart/hard as behavioral style instead of ability and motivation, this study opens a new avenue for research to discuss the issue thoroughly. Future research suggestions and practical applications are also provided.
