The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between personality preference
types (as measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator [MBTI]) Form M and psychological
career resources (as measured by the Psychological Career Resource Inventory [PCRI]) of
managers in the fast-food industry and whether groups from different races, ages and
gender differ significantly regarding personality types and psychological career resources. A
quantity survey was conducted on a sample (N = 81) of managers in the fast food industry in
the Western Cape.
The extraversion, sensing, feeling, judging (ESFJ) and the introversion, sensing, feeling,
judging (ISFJ) personality types were the dominant ones in the study. Personality type
preferences were significantly related to psychological career resources. The personality
types differed significantly regarding the following PCRI variables: variety/creativity (career
preference), growth/development (career value), self/other skills (career enabler) and social
connectivity (career harmoniser). Significant differences between personality types,
psychological career resources and age, gender and race were also established. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
