Psychometric comparison of paper-and-pencil and online personality assessments in a selection settingJoubert, Tina, Kriek, Hendrik J. January 2009 (has links)
The goal of the study was to determine whether the Occupational Personality Questionnaire
(OPQ32i) yielded comparable results when two different modes of administration, namely paperand-
pencil and Internet-based administration, were used in real-life, high-stakes selection settings.
Two studies were conducted in which scores obtained online in unproctored settings were compared
with scores obtained during proctored paper-and-pencil settings. The psychometric properties of
the paper-and-pencil and Internet-based applications were strikingly similar. Structural equation
modelling with EQS indicated substantial support for the hypothesis that covariance matrices
of the paper-and-pencil and online applications in both studies were identical. It was concluded
that relationships between the OPQ32i scales were not affected by mode of administration or
supervision.

The relationship between personality variables and work performance of credit controllers in a bankCoetzee, Olga 30 November 2003 (has links)
The primary aim of the research has been to determine whether there is a relationship between personality variables as measured by the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32i) and the work performance of credit controllers in a bank. Work performance was measured by means of internal company data sources. A literature review was used to verify whether there is a theoretical relationship between personality and work performance and strong evidence was found.
The sample consisted of 89 credit controllers. The relationship between personality variables and work performance was determined by means of correlation studies and multiple regression analyses. Results are reported both in terms of statistical significance and effect sizes.
Key terms: personality, work performance, credit control, personality trait theory, Sixteen Personality Factors questionnaire (16PF), Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ). / Industrial and Organizational Psychology / M.Com. (Industrial Psychology)

Exploring the interrelation between OPQ, 15FQ+ and the SDS questionnaireWynbergen, Andrea 07 1900 (has links)
Orientation
In this study the interrelationship between specific personality and interests measures were explored to improve understanding of the respective constructs and their interrelations. A literature study and empirical research was conducted to serve the purpose of this study.
Research purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the interrelationship between personality and interests using the measures of the OPQ, the 15FQ+, and the SDS.
Motivation for study
Much research has been done on the importance of the use of personality and interest questionnaires for career guidance and other purposes. However, a correlation between the SDS and OPQ and between the SDS and 15FQ+ has not been researched. As such, this study was intended to provide valuable insight into the interrelation between the personality and interests as measured by the OPQ, the SDS and the 15FQ+, which should enhance the interpretation of the respective constructs.
Research Methodology
An exploratory research method was used, as it was a systematic investigation of the relationship among two or more variables. A quantitative strategy of inquiry was used for this study.
Main findings
A canonical correlation analysis showed moderate to strong interrelationship between personality traits and vocational interest. The interrelation of the OPQ, the SDS and the 15FQ+ are significant. The findings indicated how personality and interests differ and converge for enhancing interpretation purposes.
Practical/managerial implications
Holland’s theory of vocational interests focuses on the application of the SDS for career purposes, as well as for measuring job fit and job satisfaction. A better understanding of the interrelationship between personality and interests help practitioners to optimize the use of the measures within various contexts.
Contributions/value additions
The study will enable practitioners to more effectively utilize the personality and interest measures, combined or separately, as the interrelationships are now better known and construct validity is enhanced.
Conclusion
The objective of this research was successfully achieved, as satisfactory evidence was provided to address the overarching research purpose. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / Human Resource Management / MSc / Restricted

Personality, coping and sense of coherence of the working motherHerbst, Aletta Wilhelmina 30 June 2006 (has links)
Working mothers face various challenges today, one of which is to be a mother, wife,caretaker and employee all at the same time. Fulfilling these challenging and sometimes demanding roles can contribute to role overload and conflict, which can have a negative impact on organisational effectiveness, as well as the overall wellbeing
of the working mother. This dissertation outlines the relationship between personality dimensions, sense of coherence and the coping styles of working mothers from a salutogenic perspective.
The Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), Orientations to Life Questionnaire (OLQ) and the Coping Orientations to the Problems Experienced
(COPE) Questionnaire were used to measure the relationship between personality dimensions, sense of coherence and the coping styles of working mothers. The study was conducted with 102 working mothers representing different ethnic groups and occupational levels in different occupational fields and organisations.
A theoretical relationship was established. The empirical investigation provided evidence of such a relationship and it seems that coping styles can be predicted from considering personality dimensions and sense of coherence. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
