Personality and Intelligence at Work examines the increasingly
controversial role of individual differences in predicting and
determining behaviour at work. It combines approaches from
organizational psychology and personality theory to critically
examine the physical, psychological and psycho-analytic aspects of
individual differences, and how they impact on the world of work.
Topics covered include the role of IQ at work as the best
predictor of success, but also the importance of increasingly
recognized social intelligences such as emotional intelligence
(EQ). The significance of personality traits and the impact of
temperaments on work performance are also examined, and the methods
used to assess work behaviour and potential are reviewed.
Psychological tests, which measure personality traits, are
questioned as accurate predictors of behaviour at work, alongside
other factors such as job satisfaction, productivity, absenteeism
and turnover.
This new, thoroughly revised and updated edition of Personality
at Work provides a comprehensive review of the relevant literature
from psychology, sociology and management science. It will be of
interest to students of organizational psychology and business and
management studies, as well as HR professionals.
