    Hi folks,

     

    I am putting together four sessions on personality and personality assessment in organisations for a postgraduate HRM course. I am looking for reading ideas for the students – can you recommend any reviews/texts/chapters  that will give students a broad, but critical, review of the literature on these topics?

     

    Many thanks,

    Sarah

    Sarah – If I were to pick one set of readings, I'd begin with the 2007 article by Morgeson, et al.:

     

    Morgeson, F. P., Campion, M. A., Dipboye, R. L., Hollenbeck, J. R., Murphy, K., & Schmitt, N. (2007). Reconsidering the use of personality tests in personnel selection contexts. Personnel Psychology, 60(3), 683-729.

     

    In the same issue were three follow-up articles/rejoinders.  Very thought provoking set of 4 articles!

     

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Sarah,

    I always recommend these two studies which provide a good overview of personality and how it affects work. Especially for an HRM course I think those two papers will fit very well:

    1. Barrick, M. and Mount, M. (1991). The Big Five Personality Dimensions and Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis. Personnel Psychology, 44(1): 1-26.

    2. Judge, T.A. and Illies, R. (2002). Relationship of Personality to Performance Motivation: A Meta-Analytic Review. Journal of Applied Psychology, 87(4): 797-807.

    You might also recommend the paper of Mount and colleagues on the rating of the Big Five:



    Validity of observer ratings of the big five personality factors.
    Mount, Michael K.; Barrick, Murray R.; Strauss, J. Perkins
    Journal of Applied Psychology, Vol 79(2), Apr 1994, 272-280. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.79.2.272<http://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/0021-9010.79.2.272>

    Hi Sarah,

    You might find this article suitable for students as it is written in a fairly readable style even though it covers the research literature:

    Frank Walter, Michael S. Cole, and Ronald H. Humphrey, (2011). Emotional Intelligence: Sine Qua Non of leadership or folderol?  The Academy of Management Perspectives, 25(1), 45-59.

     

    In addition, there are 3 chapters on personality, cognitive intelligence, and on emotional intelligence in my leadership textbook (see my signature line), and you might be able to get them packaged separately for your students. 


    Take care,

    Great responses so far. The Five-Factor Model (FFM) is still prevalent, but there are a number of alternatives emerging. 

    As an introduction to the FFM, the Barrick & Mount (1991) mentioned earlier as well as the brief history provided here:

    Digman, J.M. (1990). Personality structure: Emergence of the five-factor model. Annual Review of Psychology, 41, 417–440.

    The Morgesson et al. (2007) critique (and replies) mentioned earlier is a good overview of the shortcomings of the FFM (and self-report methodology in general). I would also add:

    Block, J. (1995). A contrarian view of the five-factor approach to personality description. Psychological Bulletin, 117, 187-215.

    As for alternatives to the FFM and self-report methodology, Jeremy Schoen provided excellent recommendations (particularly Uhlmann et al. (2012), James (1998), and James & LeBreton (2012)). I might also suggest Anthony Greenwald's work on implicit association, although it may be less applicable to HRM. 

    Finally, I would mention HEXACO and the emerging work on "dark" personality as well. Specifically, 

    Ashton, M. C., & Lee, K. (2007). Empirical, theoretical, and practical advantages of the HEXACO model of personality structure. Personality and Social Psychology Review, 11, 150-166.

    Paulhus, D. L., Williams, K. M. (2002). The Dark Triad of personality: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Journal of Research in Personality , 36, 556–563.

    Guenole, N. (2014). Maladaptive personality at work: Exploring the darkness. Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice, 7, 85-97. [There are also a number of excellent replies to this article in the same issue]

    Good luck with the course.

    Hi Sarah,

    A google scholar search for keywords such as "Hogan Personality Selection" should provide you with helpful material. Joyce and Robert Hogan have made a number of contributions.

    You can also check out the Hogan Assessment website for additional information/resources: http://www.hoganassessments.com/

    Hope it helps.

    regards, Brian

    Hi Sarah,

    You might find this article suitable for students as it is written in a fairly readable style even though it covers the research literature:

    Frank Walter, Michael S. Cole, and Ronald H. Humphrey, (2011). Emotional Intelligence: Sine Qua Non of leadership or folderol?  The Academy of Management Perspectives, 25(1), 45-59.

     

    In addition, there are 3 chapters on personality, cognitive intelligence, and on emotional intelligence in my leadership textbook (see my signature line), and you might be able to get them packaged separately for your students. 


    Take care,


    Ron

  • 12.  Recommended reading on Personality

    Posted 02-27-2015 10:26
    Sarah,

    Relevant to personality in the context of personnel selection, I have a few suggestions.


    I particularly like Mike Zickar stuff on fakers easily rising to the top of a rank order list such that they will be most likely to be hired.

    Many test vendors who sell personality test vendors still speak of their impression management scales to detect faking.  They are wrong.  I would search for the impression management studies in personality.

    The Doug Brown paper on faking in conscientiousness is also good.

    Note that I am not arguing that personality is not important. I am arguing that our measurement of personality is awful.  The only way that I see one would want to use personality in personnel selection is to set a low cut-off score so you are rejecting the derelicts who are admitting to be derelicts.

    I suspect you will get a few comments arguing against my position.

    Best wishes,

    Mike
