Personality trait change at work: Associations with organizational socialization and identification

Abstract

Previous research suggests that early work experiences are associated with young adult personality development (see Bleidorn, Hopwood, & Lucas, 2018). Specifically, work experiences have been linked to changes in conscientiousness (Golle et al.

The impact of emotional intelligence and personality traits on the occurrence of unsafe behaviors and needle stick injuries among the nurses

“…The personality, as an internal factor in humans, is another important parameter. It includes unique features formed during the time, which distinguishes a person from another ( Alessandri et al., 2020 ). Personality traits can affect high-risk behaviors and people's perceptions of health and danger ( Pourmazaherian et al., 2021 ).…”

Changes in expeditioners' personality measures during 1 year Antarctic expeditions

“…It is established in psychology that human personality traits can, in principle, be changed. This has recently been confirmed in studies by Bleidorn et al (2018) and Denissen et al (2019), who examined associations between various life events and personality trait changes; Schwaba & Bleidorn (2018), who studied personality trait changes across the course of life; Alessandri et al (2020), who investigated how the Big Five personality traits of cadets changed over the course of a 3 year police officer training programme; and Woods et al (2020), who studied the developmental influences of occupational environments on personality traits.…”

In Search of the Cognitively Complex Person: Is There a Meaningful Trait Component of Cognitive Complexity?

“…Rank-order correlations indicate the degree to which individuals who are relatively high (or low) on a particular measurement at one point in time tend to have the same relative rank (compared with others in the same sample) at another point in time (see, for example, Chung et al, 2014; Donnellan et al, 2012; Schriber et al, 2017; Sherman et al, 2015). The other main method used for analyzing trait stability over time employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) on longitudinal data to determine the proportion of variance in the data that can be attributed to the trait, the state (e.g., psychological features of the situation), and error (Alessandri et al, 2020; Cole, 2012; Kenny & Zautra, 1995, 2001; Kuster & Orth, 2013; Orth & Robins, 2019). The higher the variance explained by the trait, the more evidence one has that there is a meaningful trait component of the construct.…”
