ABSTRACT

Conscientiousness and emotional stability are two general predictors of different vocational and occupational outcomes, such as job performance. There is evidence that both personality constructs can be subdivided into two different aspects, which are better predictors for vocational and occupational outcomes compared to the global measures. Therefore, the “Arbeitsbezogene Belastbarkeits- und Gewissenhaftigkeitsskalen” (ABGS) were developed to measure the two aspects of conscientiousness (industriousness and orderliness) and emotional stability (social-interactive and continuous). Further, compared with other personality inventories, items of the ABGS refer to job-related characteristics, and are therefore useful to measure their aspects in an organizational context of personnel selection and potential detection processes in order to predict job-related outcomes. In the present two studies, with a total of 5972 participants, we determined positive relationships between the ABGS and vocational success for the two sub-samples of trainees with a commercial (N= 2826) and technical (N= 2674) focus (Study 1). Furthermore, there is evidence for the relationship between ABGS and occupational success in the two sub-samples of Study 2 with line managers (N= 345) and top managers (N= 127). The results show incremental validity of the ABGS over established personality inventories (up to 21%) and over cognitive abilities (up to 24%) that are also good predictors for vocational and occupational success. The ABGS further form the basis for ongoing research to develop a job-related measurement of the other Big Five traits and its aspects (e.g., agreeableness with its aspects compassion and politeness).

摘要

责任心和情绪稳定是不同职业和职业成果（例如工作表现）的两个总体预测指标。有证据表明，两种人格构造都可以细分为两个不同的方面，与全球性指标相比，它们是职业和职业成果的更好预测指标。因此，开发了“ Arbeitsbezogene Belastbarkeits- and Gewissenhaftigkeitsskalen”（ABGS）来衡量认真性（勤劳和有序）和情绪稳定（社交互动和持续）的两个方面）。此外，与其他人格测验相比，ABGS的项目指的是与工作相关的特征，因此可用于在人员选择和潜在检测过程的组织环境中测量其方面，以预测与工作相关的结果。在目前的两项研究中，共有5972名参与者，我们确定了以商业（N = 2826）和技术（N = 2674）为重点的两个受训子样本的ABGS与职业成功之间的正相关关系（研究1） ）。此外，在研究2的两个子样本中，直线经理（N = 345）和高层经理（N= 127）。结果表明，ABGS相对于既定的人格量表（高达21％）和认知能力（不超过24％）的递增有效性，这也是职业和职业成功的良好预测指标。该ABGS进一步形成了持续的研究的基础上，开发其他大五人格的作业相关的测量及其方面（例如，宜人性，其各方面的同情和礼貌）。
