And to what extent should an individual's personality determine their fit for the job?]]> 2019-02-08 03:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/329061775 Personality and Values stephanie_lee_elynn https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/329062602 The chapter is called personality and values, but I noticed that we only focused on the personality side of the chapter and not the values. To what extent do an individual's values matter in employee selection? ]]> 2019-02-08 03:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/329062602 Situational Strength Theory simweiyang94 https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/329464754 Identifying the extent to which a situation is clear or consistent appears rather arbitrary in a practical sense. That is to say it is unlikely for every situation to be clear cut and easy for managers to truly determine if a given situation is strong or weak. 

Furthermore, it might be possible for different employees within the workplace to experience a given situation differently. One may see their tasks as clear and unambiguous but another may read more deeply in possibly the nuances of their tasks, resulting in a totally different interpretation of the situational strength. 

As such, wouldn't it be difficult to truly determine the situational strength in practice? Are there inventories or data-driven methodologies that we can adopt to measure the situational factor quantitatively? ]]> 2019-02-09 08:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/329464754 How do we ensure that the personality tests do not cause self-fulfilling prophecy thoughts in the employees? https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/440842265 2020-02-05 11:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/440842265 Personality Tests https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/442671106 Why aren't the organisations testing the Big 5 Personality traits more than MBTI since there are a lot more researches supporting that Big 5 Personality traits have been shown to predict people's behaviour?]]> 2020-02-09 11:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ntuhp3805/topic5/wish/442671106
