          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The study extends personality and situational judgment test (SJT) research by using an SJT to measure achievement striving in a contextualized manner. Employed students responded to the achievement striving SJT, traditional personality scales, and workplace performance measures. The SJT was internally consistent, items loaded on a single factor, and scores converged with other measures of achievement striving. The SJT provided incremental criterion-related validity for the performance criteria beyond less-contextualized achievement striving measures. Findings suggest that achievement-related work scenarios may provide additional criterion-relevant information not captured by measures that are less contextualized.

          RESUMEN Este estudio extiende la investigación sobre los tests de juicio situacional (TJS) y la personalidad, usando un TJS para medir el esfuerzo hacia el logro de una manera contextualizada. Estudiantes con empleo respondieron el TJS de esfuerzo hacia el logro, escalas típicas de personalidad y medidas de desempeño en el trabajo. El TJS fue internamente consistente, los ítems cargaron en un único factor y las puntuaciones convergieron con otras medidas de esfuerzo hacia el logro. El TJS añadió validez relacionada con el criterio, para los criterios de desempeño, a la validez de las medidas menos contextualizadas de esfuerzo hacia el logro. Los hallazgos sugieren que escenarios de trabajo relacionados con el logro pueden proporcionar información adicional relevante para el criterio no capturada por medidas menos contextualizadas.

          A cognitive-affective system theory of personality: reconceptualizing situations, dispositions, dynamics, and invariance in personality structure.

          A theory was proposed to reconcile paradoxical findings on the invariance of personality and the variability of behavior across situations. For this purpose, individuals were assumed to differ in (a) the accessibility of cognitive-affective mediating units (such as encodings, expectancies and beliefs, affects, and goals) and (b) the organization of relationships through which these units interact with each other and with psychological features of situations. The theory accounts for individual differences in predictable patterns of variability across situations (e.g., if A then she X, but if B then she Y), as well as for overall average levels of behavior, as essential expressions or behavioral signatures of the same underlying personality system. Situations, personality dispositions, dynamics, and structure were reconceptualized from this perspective.

              Personality and job performance: The Big Five revisited.

              Prior meta-analyses investigating the relation between the Big 5 personality dimensions and job performance have all contained a threat to construct validity, in that much of the data included within these analyses was not derived from actual Big 5 measures. In addition, these reviews did not address the relations between the Big 5 and contextual performance. Therefore, the present study sought to provide a meta-analytic estimate of the criterion-related validity of explicit Big 5 measures for predicting job performance and contextual performance. The results for job performance closely paralleled 2 of the previous meta-analyses, whereas analyses with contextual performance showed more complex relations among the Big 5 and performance. A more critical interpretation of the Big 5-performance relationship is presented, and suggestions for future research aimed at enhancing the validity of personality predictors are provided.
