The Relationship between HEXACO Personality Factors and a Variety of Performance in Work Organization

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between the HEXACO six personality factors(Honesty, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness, and Conscientiousness) and a variety of performance in work organizations. First of all, some items of modesty(subfactor of Honesty) in Korean HEXACO personality inventory were modified and half-length form(96 items) of Korean HEXACO personality inventory was constructed by using 353 undergraduates sample. The half-length form of Korean HEXACO personality inventory was administered to 315 employees and personality ratings were obtained by self-report. The sixty-three peers or supervisors who knew employees very well rated employees` six personality factors and their various performance(task performance, contextual performance, adaptive performance, workplace deviance, and overall performance). Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationships between the six personality factors and the five performance criteria. Results indicated that the six personality factors by both self and other rating were found to have significant relationships with the five performance criteria. Also, hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the influence of the six personality factors on each of the five performance criteria controlling for differences in employees` demographic variables(gender, age, and tenure) which were entered into the regression equation first. The result showed that six personality factors significantly explained the variance of most performance criteria after controlling for the effect of demographic variables. Task performance had the strongest impact on overall performance. And the second was adaptive performance, the third was workplace deviance, and the forth was contextual performance. Workplace deviance mediated the relationship between Honesty and overall performance, and task performance mediated the relationship between Conscientiousness and overall performance. Based on these findings, the implication of this study and the directions for further research were discussed.
