“…Although related studies have discussed the relationship between elemental traits and situational traits (Kell et al, 2010), and between elemental traits and surface traits (Swickert et al, 2010), the 3M model offers a comprehensive framework to link personality traits with behavioural predisposition. The 3M model of motivation and personality provides a valid and reliable scale for strategists.…”

Purpose – A food traceability system that provides detailed information on food production, processing, transfer, and distribution can create value in food exchange. This study aims to investigate which type of consumer personality places greater value on the food traceability label. Design/methodology/approach – According to the meta-theoretic model of motivation and personality (3M), this study develops a framework that links personality traits with food safety issues. Data are collected from a survey of consumers in shopping malls. The research hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling. Findings – Based on the 3M hierarchical model, consumers who have open, conscientious, and extroverted personalities, and material and body needs tend to have higher needs for learning and health consciousness. They care more for food value and have positive perception of food traceability labels. This results in intentions to purchase products with a food traceability label. Practical implications – Using their conclusions on the relationship of personality traits with a food traceability system, the authors provide suggestions for businesses planning marketing strategies to gain competitive advantages. For consumers, a food traceability system creates value in food exchange. Regarding policy concerns, the government should regulate the implementation of a food traceability label to disclose comprehensive information regarding food safety. Originality/value – Although various constructs are linked to food traceability, few studies have focused on the value of food exchange. Consumers with specific personality characteristics have different perceptions and reactions to a food traceability system. This study can fill the knowledge gap regarding the relationship between the value of food exchange and consumer personality traits.

“…Also, in 2007, the Journal of Organizational Behavior devoted a special issue to the role of context. Specific to the personality–performance relationship, Kell, Rittmayer, Crook, and Motowidlo () demonstrated that the validity of personality tests varied by within‐job situations. Finally, in reviewing meta‐analytic evidence of the FFM prediction of job performance, Tett and Christiansen () found that the specificity of the situation is an important aspect of the relationship of each trait with job performance.…”

The interactive effects of conscientiousness, openness to experience, and political skill on job performance in complex jobs: The importance of context

Summary Caveats concerning the ability of personality to predict job performance have been raised because of seemingly modest criterion‐related validity. The goal of the present research was to test whether narrowing the context via the type of job (i.e., jobs with complex task demands) and adding a social skill‐related moderator (i.e., political skill) would improve performance prediction. Further, along with political skill, the broad factor of personality demonstrated in prior research to have the strongest criterion validity (i.e., conscientiousness) was joined with a narrow construct closely related to openness to experience (i.e., learning approach) in a three‐way interactive prediction of supervisor‐rated task performance. With the employee–supervisor dyads among professionals, but not with the control group of non‐professional employees, task performance was predicted by the three‐way interaction, such that those high on all three received the highest performance ratings. Implications, strengths and limitations, and directions for future research are discussed. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Finally, some scholars argue that personality traits are only expressed in relevant situations (Tett & Burnett, 2003;Tett & Guterman, 2000), and, in relation to performance, research has supported these arguments (e.g., Blickle et al, 2013;Kell, Rittmayer, Crook, & Motowidlo, 2010). Also, the relationship between personality and interest in science depends on discipline type (Feist, 2006), which could imply a change in personality's relationship with academic performance in science.…”

Scholars have raised concerns that openness to experience has ambiguous relationships with performance. In this study, we examine both openness and one of its more narrow dimensions, learning approach. In addition, the research context was made narrow (i.e., higher education academic performance in science), and social skill was interactively combined with peer- and self-rated personality in the prediction of academic performance (i.e., grades). We found that those high on learning approach, but not openness, 1 year later performed better academically than those lower on learning approach. Furthermore, for those high and average on social skill, increased peer-rated learning approach was associated with higher performance. Finally, the combination of self- and other-ratings of learning approach was a better predictor of academic performance than the combination of self- and other-ratings of openness. The relationship of openness with academic performance benefits from narrowing predictors and criteria, framing the study within a relevant context, accounting for social skill, and combining self- and other trait ratings.
