What Is the Connection Between Personality and Job Performance?

Incentive refers to the psychological process that stimulates people's behavioral motivation, that is, through the stimulation of various objective factors, triggers and enhances the internal driving force of human behavior, so that people reach a state of excitement, thereby internalizing external stimuli into personal consciousness Action. In a narrow sense, motivation is the process and means of stimulating, directing, and maintaining behavior in an organizational environment. It should be said that the motivation theory has been relatively perfect, and various aspects of motivation theory have also been involved in various aspects of personality motivation, but "personality motivation" is still a relatively new concept.

Personality motivation

In sociology, personality refers to personal

1. The importance of personality and how it relates to job performance

First, the importance of personality itself. This can be seen mainly from the connotation and extension of personality. From the perspective of connotation, personality mainly refers to the person's psychological quality, thinking mode, personality characteristics and enterprising spirit. Seven models. Personality extension refers to the personal image generated by its important personality structure and its influence on surrounding people. The word "personality" did not exist in ancient times, but there were concepts of "human nature", "personality", and "character". Confucius proposed that "If he is right, he will not do what is ordered, but if he is wrong, he will not."

1. Personality is the result of the interaction between heredity and environment-the plasticity of personality

A person's personality must have two foundations, one is the genetic biological foundation, and the other is the environmental foundation. Factors such as gender, nervous system, endocrine system and body shape are genetically determined. Personality cannot be born without a biological individual (including his physical organs and systems). The basis of the environment is the external world in which the individual is located, including everything that can cause behavior. Personality cannot be created without an environmental foundation. Personality is the result of the interaction between heredity and the environment. This shows that personality is stable, but it is not that it is immutable. Personality has plasticity. The improvement of the personality is achieved through the improvement of the environment, and the environment plays an important role in the shaping of personality.

In incentive research, most scholars analyze incentives from the outside until they find that external incentives are not sufficient to explain the effects of incentives, and they begin to realize the impact of personal differences on incentives. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and Herzberg's two-factor theory have made some explanations of this phenomenon and are linked to personality to a certain extent. For example, people with different levels of needs respond differently to the same incentives. Introverts and extroverts have very different identifications of motivational factors and health factors. In response, some people have suggested whether personality theory can be used to explain this difference. Various mature motivational schools have been formed, but there are still very few who associate personality with motivation. Most also only discuss the influence of personality on motivation. In response to this, Song Lian can put forward his own creative ideas in "Selecting Incentive Methods Considering Personality Factors", "Preferences of Different Personality to Incentive Method Divided by Needs" on the basis of summarized data, and point out that personality-based Develop incentives. It can be seen that Song Lian can do a lot of work on this, but it only mentions that different personalities have certain preferences on incentive methods, and does not point out how we can formulate methods and models of personality incentives based on this preference. This requires us to further explore and practice on this basis. Very few really refer to the concept of personality motivation, and most of them are in the ideological and political fields. In the field of management, Liu Qinghui put forward the operational methods of personality incentives for corporate leaders in Personality Incentives: The Fundamental Means to Solve the Long-term Incentives of Enterprise Leaders, but how to do it still needs to be discussed. Although these studies have shortcomings, it is understandable that they have laid a solid foundation for the formation of personality motivation theory and the transformation of its technical system.
