Personality and Behavior for Managers

In recent years, many employers have shown a heightened interest in matching people’s personalities to the needs of the job and the organization. In this course, we will introduce the idea of strength-based management and the impact of personality for managers. An individual’s personality is the set of characteristics that underlie a relatively stable pattern of behavior in response to ideas, objects, or people in the environment. In common use, people think of personality in terms of traits, the fairly consistent characteristics that a person exhibits. Researchers investigated whether any traits stand up to scientific scrutiny. Although investigators examined thousands of traits over the years, their findings fit into five general dimensions that describe personality. These dimensions are often called the “Big Five” personality factors. The Big Five personality factors describe an individual’s extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience.
