“…Gillespie's (2003; relatively more recent definition of trust has intensified the need to understand how trust decisions develop from an individual perspective and how they relate to other trust-relevant variables (Van der Werff and Buckley, 2017). To illustrate: A recent study by Terblanche and Heyns (2020) showed that neither personality traits nor propensity to trust are predictors of the trust behavior of a trusting party toward a coach within a coaching relationship. Only perceived trustworthiness predicted both reliance and disclosure-based trust in a coach.…”

The study aimed to identify trust profiles in the work domain and to study how these patterns related to psychological need satisfaction, work engagement, and intentions to leave. A cross-sectional survey with a convenience sample (N = 298) was used. The Behavioral Trust Inventory, the Work-related Basic Need Satisfaction Scale, the Work Engagement Scale, and the Turnover Intention Scale were administered. The results showed four trust profiles: skeptic, reliance-based, moderately cautious, and optimistic trustors represented participants' responses on behavioral trust. Skeptic and optimistic trustors (who represented about 50% of the sample) differed primarily regarding their reliance and disclosure intensity. The other two trust profiles (representing the other 50% of the sample) reflected higher reliance and lower disclosure or lower reliance and higher disclosure. Psychological need satisfaction (comprised of autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction) and work engagement were the strongest and intentions to leave the weakest for optimistic trustors (compared to skeptic trustors).

“…For example, extraversion positively associated with self-reported benefits of coaching (Jones et al, 2014), while openness, conscientiousness and emotional stability positively predicted client's selfreported transfer of learning (Stewart et al, 2008). However, studying mean levels of the Big Five traits has produced sparse findings, which are mostly descriptive rather than explanatory in nature (Terblanche and Heyns, 2020).…”

PurposeLittle is known about how individual differences play out in the process of authentic self-development (ASD) through workplace coaching. This article explores whether the Big Five personality traits and affective, behavioral, cognitive and desire (ABCDs) components of the Big Five personality traits were relevant to ASD, specifically examining the role of affect as a potential mediator.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 176 clients' personality was assessed pre-coaching. Aspects of ASD (perceived competence, goal commitment, self-concordance and goal stability) were assessed post-coaching. Clients' affect balance (AB) scores were obtained post-session.FindingsMultilevel path models showed that higher levels of mean AB (but not the slope) mediated the associations between personality and perceived competence and goal commitment. Personality predicted goal self-concordance, but these effects were not mediated by AB, neither personality nor AB predicted goal stability.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors encourage randomized controlled trials to further test findings of this study. Ruling out method variance is not possible completely. However, the authors put forth considerations to support the authors' claim that method variance did not overly influence our results.Practical implicationsThese results suggest the necessity of an optimal experience of affect for ASD in workplace coaching and the understanding of how ABCDs, AB and ASD are related beyond coaching psychology.Social implicationsA deeper understanding of personality processes is important for fostering ASD to meet the challenges of management development in the authors' volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) world.Originality/valueThis is the first study to test personality as a process in workplace coaching linking personality to one of the most valued leadership skills: authenticity.

“…Conscientiousness is described as an individual's inclination to demonstrate self-discipline and strive for skill and accomplishment (Greenberg 2011). Conscientiousness categorises people into those who are rational, informed and consider themselves to be competent (Terblanche & Heyns 2020). This personality dimension is clarified by limited characteristics such as being well organised, cautious, selfdisciplined, accountable and accurate at the high end and being disorganised, impulsive, careless and undependable at the low end (Bell & Njoli 2016).…”

This research determined five big personality traits that influenced South African Generation Y students’ habitual use of Facebook, life satisfaction and psychological well-being. The research embraced a quantitative approach, and a structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from Generation Y students. The data were analysed using Smart PLS software version 3.2.7 for partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Neuroticism, extraversion, openness and agreeableness had positive and significant influences on habitual Facebook usage (HFU). However, conscientiousness seemed to have a positive yet insignificant relationship with HFU. Habitual use of Facebook has been found to have a positive and significant impact on life satisfaction and psychological well-being. It was also determined that life satisfaction positively and significantly influences psychological well-being. The exogenous-to-endogenous outcomes from the structural model coincided with most of prior study’s findings. Therefore, in the light of the associated literature, the findings were discussed. This study is intended to add a fresh understanding to the current body of Africa’s personality, psychology and social media literature – a context that has received little research attention in developing nations.
