Application of Personality Traits and Predicting Work- Related Behaviors
Talk about personalities! Samantha is sure she has one of everything in her very diverse workforce. Sometimes she wonders if her 20 employees have anything in common. Yesterday Jon came in complaining and blaming her for his poor performance evaluation. He seemed to forget the five differing times during the last six months he and Samantha had sat down and discussed the fact that his continual tardiness and absences were going to affect his evaluation. Then there was Joe, who was always Joe. He was a likable enough person, but he was always loud and outspoken and bordered on being rude. Even when the president of the company had been in the office last week, Joe was still the same Joe. Then there was Cassie who made daily the statement that the end justifies the means. Samantha, more than once, had to remind Cassie of the company code of ethics. Finally, though, there was Jennifer who quietly and efficiently did her work on a consistent basis. She was always ready for a new assignment and trusted that she had the abilities needed in order to succeed on the next project. For Samantha, she was a safety net in times of crisis.

A) It gives her a basis to fire employees.
B) It is important information to record for performance evaluations.
