ORGANIZATIONAL AND PERSONALITY EFFECTS ON MANAGERS’ JOB STRESS: Is It Different for Malaysian Men and Women?

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of organizational variables (conflict, blocked career, alienation, work overload, and unfavorable work environment) and personality variables (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) on job stress among managers working in the electronics sector in 4Malaysia and whether this relationship varies according to their gender. Analyses of 285 responses using hierarchical regression revealed that four of five organizational variables (blocked career, alienation, work overload, and conflict) had significant positive effects on job stress. In terms of the personality traits, neuroticism and conscientiousness were found to be significantly and positively related to stress. Extraversion and agreeableness, on the other hand, had significant negative effects on job stress. Gender was found to moderate the effects of all the independent variables on job stress at the 0.01 level. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.

Personality as Predictor of Achievement

Abstract: General intelligence, g, is a powerful predictor of education, job status and income, but the predictive power of personality is less clear. The objective of the present paper was to investigate the predictive power of personality (and g) with respect to education, job status, and income. We derived Eysenckian personality factors (P, E, N, L) from MMPI data; g was distilled from a large number of highly diverse cognitive variables. Linear, nonlinear, and interaction power in predicting socioeconomic achievement in 4200+ middle-aged American males was tested. In the present study, broad personality factors provided little incremental validity to g, in predicting socioeconomic achievement across type of education and job categories. This is at odds with previous studies, and does not exclude the possibility that certain personality factors (higher or lower order) have more predictive validity within certain job categories and education types.
