  2. Chapter 8 Personality

  3. Personality has two meanings: • The first meaning refers to the impression a person makes on others. • The second meaning refers to the unseen structures and processes inside us that explain why we behave the way we do.

  4. The Big Five Personality Model Extraversion • Five-Factor Model of Personality • Yet another way to describe personalities Agreeableness Conscientiousness Emotional Stability Openness to Experience

  5. Personality Attributes and Behavior • These 5 personality attributes have much to do with explaining and predicting behavior in organizations Locus of Control Machiavellian Traits Self-Esteem Self-Monitoring Risk Taking Type A Personality

  6. Big Five Model • Advantages of the Big Five Model • Most personality researchers currently use one form of the Big Five Model. • The model is usefully categorized. • It is useful for categorizing or profiling people. • It appears to be universally applicable across cultures.

  7. Big Five Model • Disadvantages of the Big Five Model • Some argue that five factors are not enough to adequately encompass all the different personality traits. • The Big Five personality dimensions tend to be fairly heterogeneous internally, which makes them poor predictors of job performance as compared to personality traits.

  8. Personality Traits • Preferences distinguish one personality from another, based on four basic dimensions: • extraversion-and-introversion • sensing-and-intuition • thinking-and-feeling • judging-and-perceiving

  9. Chapter 9 Intelligence and Creativity

  10. Intelligence • Intelligence is a person’s all-around effectiveness in activities directed by thought. • Intelligence is relatively difficult to change. • Intelligence can be and is modified through education and experience.

  11. Theories assessing the nature of intelligence: • Intelligence is a unitary ability. • Intelligence involves a collection of related mental abilities. • Intelligence is based more on the process by which people do complex work rather than the number of mental abilities.

  12. The unitary view • The unitary view is founded on findings early in this century that individuals’ scores on different types of intelligence were all positively correlated • A person doing well on a vocabulary test was likely to do well on a memory or numeric reasoning test and vice versa.

  13. The multiple intelligence’s view • The multiple intelligence’s view is based on common observations of people and finds that every person possesses linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal intelligence.

  14. Dark-side Personality Traits • Dark-side personality traits are: • irritating or counterproductive behavioral tendencies • interfere with a leader’s ability to form teams • cause followers to exert less effort towards goal accomplishment.
