Can your job change your personality? While traditionally
personality has been considered fixed and stable, recent thinking
indicates that this is not the case. Personality can be changed by
various work and vocational experiences, such as employment
conditions, career roles, job characteristics and training or
interventions. Drawing on a wide array of research in the field,
Wang and Wu provide a conceptual overview on how personality can be
changed at work by societal, organisational and job-related
factors, while considering how individuals can take an active
approach in changing their personality at work.
What makes some people more likely to initiate positive change
within their organizations? Can this behaviour be influenced by
management? Employee proactivity has largely been understood in
terms of employees changing their environment or changing
themselves. In this novel study Wu offers an alternative lens
through which to examine such behaviour - the concept of attachment
theory. Wu integrates the current understanding of motivational
factors in shaping proactive workers, through his introduction to
attachment theory, and development of it as a theoretical
framework. This compelling approach provides academics with a new
way of thinking about employee behaviour while also acting as a
guide for practitioners and managers.
