Introduction: In today’s global environment there is a competition on performances of organizations. Business organizations are seeking highly skilled professionals to be employed to achieve high performance and productivity over other competitors. The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of personality traits, and professional skills on employee performance in an Automotive Corporation in the Philippines. Methodology: The study is a quantitative research, and a descriptive-correlation. A self-constructed survey questionnaire was distributed to 97 employees of Automotive Corporation using convenience sampling. The statistical tools used for analyzing the results from the SPSS 22, was Pearson correlation to analyze the relationship and standard deviation and the mean for the descriptive study, and t-test and ANOVA were used to analyze the difference, and in terms of predictions, linear regression was used. Result: the Study revealed that the relationship between Professional Skills has a positive significant relationship with employee performance but there is no significant relationship between personality Traits and employee performance, though openness was dominant with the highest mean. The study also showed that professional skills, personality traits, and employee performance are high. Considering the sex, males had a higher employee performance than females. Further results revealed that only professional skills predicted employee performance. Discussion: The result of the study implies that business owners need employees that are able to get the job done because employee performance is critical to the overall success of the company. The study recommends that industries should pay attention to Professional Skills, and Personality Traits of workers because it is important in business organizations.

“…Furthermore, GMA and the Big Five were measured on a higher, more abstract level (i.e., broad concepts), because we wanted to study GMA and the Big Five on the same level of abstraction as reported in well-known meta-analyses (Schmidt and Hunter, 1998; e.g., . Some studies highlight the role of narrow personality traits (e.g., facets of conscientiousness) and specific aptitudes (e.g., psychomotor abilities) as predictors of job performance (e.g., Schmidt, 2002;Dudley et al, 2006;Grobelny, 2018) as well. Additionally, character strengths and facets of the Big Five overlap (e.g., perseverance as a character strength with achievement thriving and self-discipline as facets of conscientiousness, self-regulation as a character strength with impulsiveness as a facet of neuroticism), although they are not redundant (Noftle et al, 2011;McGrath et al, 2020).…”

Incremental Validity of Character Strengths as Predictors of Job Performance Beyond General Mental Ability and the Big Five

Over the last decades, various predictors have proven relevant for job performance [e.g., general mental ability (GMA), broad personality traits, such as the Big Five]. However, prediction of job performance is far from perfect, and further potentially relevant predictors need to be investigated. Narrower personality traits, such as individuals' character strengths, have emerged as meaningfully related to different aspects of job performance. However, it is still unclear whether character strengths can explain additional variance in job performance over and above already known powerful predictors. Consequently, the present study aimed at (1) examining the incremental validity of character strengths as predictors of job performance beyond GMA and/or the Big Five traits and (2) identifying the most important predictors of job performance out of the 24 character strengths, GMA, and the Big Five. Job performance was operationalized with multidimensional measures of both productive and counterproductive work behavior. A sample of 169 employees from different occupations completed web-based self-assessments on character strengths, GMA, and the Big Five. Additionally, the employees' supervisors provided web-based ratings of their job performance. Results showed that character strengths incrementally predicted job performance beyond GMA, the Big Five, or GMA plus the Big Five; explained variance increased up to 54.8, 43.1, and 38.4%, respectively, depending on the dimension of job performance. Exploratory relative weight analyses revealed that for each of the dimensions of job performance, at least one character strength explained a numerically higher amount of variance than GMA and the Big Five, except for individual task proactivity, where GMA exhibited the numerically highest amount of explained variance. The present study shows that character strengths are relevant predictors of job performance in addition to GMA and other conceptualizations of personality (i.e., the Big Five). This also highlights the role of socio-emotional skills, such as character strengths, for the understanding of performance outcomes above and beyond cognitive ability.
