Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Big Five personality dimensions (also known as OCEAN: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) have been widely studied in relation to work behavior and predictiveness. They are considered to be stable traits that shape how individuals approach work tasks and interact with coworkers. Psychogenic needs (B) and central traits (C) are also personality-related concepts, but they have not been studied as extensively in relation to workplace behavior. The idiographic approach (D) is a research method that focuses on examining individual unique experiences and may not be directly related to predicting workplace behavior based on personality traits.
