A Longitudinal Examination of How Learning Agility Impacts Future Career Success

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

The relationship between learning agility, and performance and learning over time was examined among 78 global leaders. Findings show a significant relationship between learning agility and performance (p < .01) and learning agility and learning (p < .01), but not the rate at which these factors changed over time. These results demonstrate partial support for the hypothesized relationships.

Mobile Assessments: Big Considerations for Small Screens (Demo & Discussion)

Chesapeake 7-9

Recent research would suggest that the majority of job searches are originating from mobile devices, often leading to the completion of an application, assessment, or even interview through their smartphone or tablet. Assessment vendors will discuss their recent practical research and strategies for the use of mobile assessments, and opportunities, challenges, and future directions.

Darkness Around the Globe: Cross-Cultural Differences in Moving Against, Away, and Toward

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Using a geography of personality model, authors use SEM and path analyses to find the degree to which a three-dimensional derailment model of moving away, against, and toward others is transportable across the globe. Using a sample of 26 countries (N = 65,426), authors establish the universality of a dark personality framework and show how characteristics vary across cultural norms and values.

Using Personality to Predict Truck Driver Performance

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Authors present two studies demonstrating the value of personality’s role in selecting truck drivers across the transportation industry. These studies focus on relationships between personality and (a) job analysis ratings for truck drivers and (b) overall job performance using meta-analysis. Results suggest that multiple personality scales are important and predictive for truck driver selection.

Using Bright and Dark Side Personality to Predict the Managerial Hierarchy

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Personality similarities exist in the managerial hierarchy, as supervisors advance into manager roles who eventually lead the organization. Using job family meta-analyses with overall job performance, authors investigated bright and dark side personality differences across three managerial job levels. They provide practical implications and discuss areas for future research.

The Effects of Leader-Follower Relationship and Humor Style on Job Satisfaction

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Authors examined positive humor styles (affiliative and self-enhancing) and group (in-group and out-group membership) and their effects on job satisfaction. Results showed a significant difference between group membership on job satisfaction but no significant difference between humor styles. An interaction between humor styles and group membership was not supported but a main effect was found.

Avoiding Personalized Charismatics: The Incremental Value of Humility over the FFM

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Personalized charismatic leadership (PCL) is known to be particularly toxic to organizations and employees. Humility and the Five-Factor Model (FFM) characteristics were explored as predictors of PCL. Not only did the FFM characteristics largely predict PCL, but humility offered incremental validity, demonstrating the value of including humility in selection criteria.

The Impact of Extreme Responding on Sliding Scales

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Authors explore whether individuals who use sliding scales are likely to resort to extreme responding (ER) techniques. Some ER may reflect genuine individual differences; however, research suggests those who use ER are attempting to conserve resources and/or manage others’ impressions. They investigate how ER may influence personality, performance, and relationships between variables.

Robust Importance and Personality Predictors of Ethical Behavior Across the Workforce

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

The organizational literature takes for granted the broad importance of ethical behavior in the workforce. Authors examined job analysis results for 563 organizations from across the globe to provide empirical evidence of the robust criticality of ethics. They then meta-analyzed local validation studies to identify general personality-based predictors of important ethical behaviors.

Building a Competency Taxonomy: A Personality-Based Cluster Analytic Approach

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

To understand the underlying structure of common workplace competencies, authors analyzed personality predictor–competency criterion validity coefficients using hierarchical clustering. A 2-level, 4-domain, and 8-subdomain competency framework was uncovered. Uses and implications of such a competency framework are interpreted and discussed.

Using Personality to Predict Stress Tolerance in Sales Personnel

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Stress tolerance differs from person to person and is an important component of sales performance. Using synthetic meta-analyses of job components, authors investigated personality relationships with stress-related competencies rated important for performance. They provide practical implications and discuss areas for future research on personality’s impact on how sales people handle job stress.

Content Analysis of Adverse Impact Litigation in Selection and Promotion: 2010-2018

Prince George’s Exhibit Hall D

Employment disputes cause organizations to incur enormous legal costs. Notwithstanding psychometric quality, it is useful to know which practices are more likely to be the subject of legal challenge. A content analysis of adverse impact litigation in the U.S. was conducted to assess the rate at which various selection and promotion procedures lead to legal action and the outcomes of such cases.
