“…The major limitations of the study were the limited sample number, the lack of cooperation of some of the technical staff, captains, and medical team in responding to and filling out the questionnaires in a timely fashion, along with the time-consuming nature of the data collection. The results of our study are consistent with the study of Tyler and Newcombe, who concluded that there was a significant relationship between personality type and performance (18). Besides, Siadat et al also concluded personality type and performance had a statistically significant relationship (19).…”

Background: Football has surpassed the borders of countries and established an integral relationship with national pride. Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the association between leadership style and the personality type of Tehran club pro members, first, second, and third leagues, and their performance. Methods: This descriptive, analytic, inferential, and cross-sectional study was conducted on three hundred and sixty-two members of Tehran Football Leagues’ staff, captains, supervisors, and medics. The data were collected by five questionnaires with tested validity and reliability. Results: Based on the leadership style, the majority of members had the training and exercising style. Considering the personality type, many of the members were inclined towards type B and types one, two, five, and seven of the Enneagram. A significant relationship was observed between the personality type and performance of the football teams in arenas of maintenance, knowing the team, financial issues, and team performance (P < 0.05). Besides, there was a significant relationship between the leadership style of training and exercising, and the personality types one, two, five, and seven (P = 0.039). Finally, the social support style and personality types one, two, five, and seven showed a significant relationship (P = 0.04). Conclusions: The staff, captains, supervisors, and medics preferred the leadership style of training and exercising as well as the humanitarian aspect. They mostly had personality types B, one, two, five, and seven of the Enneagram. Therefore, it is emphasized to pay attention to personality type A and other types of Enneagram for different professions.

“…The results on the significant correlation between personality traits and performance support the findings in the study of Tyler & Newcombe (2006) that personality had a significant correlation with job performance. Scontrino Powell (2021) concluded that among personality traits, conscientiousness is the strongest predictor of performance regardless of the nature of the job.…”

In the landscape of education, the role of elementary school teachers stands as a cornerstone in shaping the intellectual and emotional development of young minds. Amidst the myriad of factors influencing teaching effectiveness, the interplay between interpersonal self-efficacy, morale, personality traits, and teaching performance emerges as a critical area of inquiry. This study employed descriptive correlational research to determine the level of interpersonal self-efficacy, morale, and personality traits of public elementary school teachers vis-à-vis teaching performance in the Division of Ozamis City, School Year 2022-2023. Respondents of the study were the public school teachers from District 5 and 6 of Ozamis City Division with a total of 117 teacher respondents. Frequency Count, Percentage, Mean, Weighted Average Mean, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Dunn’s Pairwise Tests, and Spearman rho were the statistical tests. Study revealed that the majority of respondents were female teachers with a range of one to five teaching experience. The teachers demonstrated high levels of interpersonal self-efficacy and morale, indicating their confidence in guiding and inspiring their pupils, as well as their satisfaction with their interactions and contributions to the school and community. While no significant differences were found in self-efficacy, morale, and personality traits based on age, sex, and highest educational attainment. It is worth noting that personality traits had a significant but very low correlation with performance. These findings highlight the importance of cultivating positive teacher attributes and promoting a supportive environment to enhance teacher performance and ultimately improve the quality of education in the region.

“…Research on the relationship between personality and performance in East Asia has been sparse. However, some scholars have reported studies conducted in East Asia showing that personality is linked to important work‐related outcomes (Kwong and Cheung ; Tyler and Newcombe ), attesting to the utility of personality measures in a different cultural context (Barrick and Mount ; Salgado ). Even so, there has been a dearth of research on social desirability in the personnel selection context in East Asia (the only exception that we are aware of is a study by Law, Mobley and Wong ).…”

In this study we examined whether past research on social desirability based on western samples could be generalized to a novel environment, such as Singapore. We also investigated whether cultural orientations predict the inflation of personality scores in the selection process and whether they influence the effectiveness of social desirability correction. Using survey data collected at two points from 324 undergraduate business students (166 students from the United States and 158 students from Singapore), the results of this within-subject design study were mixed. Specifically, while social desirability inflated scores on personality measures, it also increased their criterion validity in Singapore. Additionally, self-deception enhancement (SDE) predicted the inflation of openness to experience scores in the United States. Finally, in the sample from the United States, correcting for SDE increased the criterion validity of personality measures to a greater extent for those who scored high on horizontal individualism (HI) than it did for those who scored low on HI.Hiring the right people is vital for organizational success and survival, making the personnel selection process a key human resource (HR) function for managers and HR professionals. However, hiring employees is not straightforward and the personnel selection process is filled with challenges for the HR department. To aid managers and HR professionals in their quest Key points 1 Social desirability has been examined mainly in the United States and Europe. 2 Testing whether culture influences social desirability correction provides guidance to researchers and practitioners. 3 The social desirability and personality score inflation relationship may also be impacted by culture.
