摘要：Personality traits—relatively stable patterns of behaviors, thoughts and feelings that distinguish one person from another—play a crucial role in shaping human attitudes, behavior, and well-being. Yet, organizational research has been heavily influenced by the five-factor model that treats personality traits solely as endogenous dispositions not directly influenced by the environment. In light of the paradigm shift in personality science that focuses on both the stability and malleability of personality traits, this classic dispositional perspective of personality has hindered the development of organizational personality research.

In this talk, I will share our on-gong research that meta-analyzes reciprocal relationships between big five personality traits and income with a continuous time approach using random-intercept cross-lagged panel models (K = 11, N ≈ 134,000). We found positive socialization effects of income on subsequent changes of conscientiousness and emotional stability, and the effect on extraversion was negative. The selection effect of conscientiousness and emotional stability on subsequent income changes was positive, and the effect was negative for extraversion, suggesting reciprocal relationships between the three personality traits and income. The magnitude of the effects varied over time in an inverted-U shaped fashion. Our research showcases the importance and promise of taking a dynamic perspective in organizational personality research.
