Personality influences every aspect of our behaviour. Nowhere is
this more true than in the workplace. From childhood to retirement,
personality helps determine how we relate to others, how we
approach our work, the level of our motivation, our ambitions and
life goals, and our response to rules and regulations. Effective
management, effective teaching, effective leadership all depend
crucially upon our understanding of personality in others and in
ourselves. Personality in the Workplace covers all aspects of
personality assessment, personality development, and personality
growth and change in a wide range of working environments, from the
classroom to the office. Drawing upon extensive research findings
and the author's personal experience as a leading psychologist, it
discusses the major psychological theories of personality and goes
on to examine how to get the best out of people, how to respond to
their individual differences, how to understand the ways in which
groups influence their members, how to recognise and respond to
anxiety and to other inhibiting factors in people, and how to
recognise serious personality problems. With its practical approach
and easy jargon-free style, the book will be immediately accessible
to students of organisational psychology and education, and will
prove of great help to educators, to business people, to
professional men and women, and to all those who have
responsibility for the performance and wellbeing of others. David
Fontana is currently Visiting Professor at the University of
Algarve, Portugal, Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Cardiff
University and Visiting Professor at Liverpool John Moores
University. He is an educational and counselling psychologist with
an extensive knowledge of personality in educational and
occupational contexts. Among his many books, which together have
been translated into 25 languages, are Managing Stress, Managing
Time, Social Skills at Work, Psychology for Teachers and Managing
Classroom Behaviour.
