Personality has always been a predictor of performance. This book of original chapters is designed to fulfill a need for a contemporary treatment of human personality in work organizations. Bringing together top scholars in the field, this book provides a comprehensive study of the role of personality in organizational life. Utilizing a personality perspective, scholars review the role of personality in groups, job satisfaction, leadership, stress, motivation, organizational climate and culture, and vocational interests. In addition, the book looks at more classical topics in personality at work, including the measurement of personality, personality-performance linkages, faking, and person-organization fit.
Complete in both conceptual material and reviews of the literature across the variety of domains in which personality plays a role at work, this handbook borrows the idea that personality plays out in many ways in organizations and not just a correlate of task performance. The editors believe that this book supports this belief--that personality in its many conceptualizations is a useful lens through which to shed understanding on the broadest array of contemporary topics in industrial/organizational psychology and organizational behavior. Graduate students and researchers interested in the contributions of personality to almost any topic in which they may have interest will find it valuable.

"To be sure, anyone who sets foot in organizations know that 'people matter', but our scholarly attention was diverted...Schneider and Smith have done us all a great service. The pulled together a terrific collection of original essays to inform us about what has been happening in personality psychology over these twenty-five years, and to show us how it all matters to life in organizations."
In this work, scholars cover issues such as teams, leadership, organizational climate and culture, organizational citizenship behaviour, work motivation, stress, and job satisfaction, and tells us what they know about these topics from a personality perspective. There are chapters on interactional psychology and work, personality and interests, some persistent measurement problems in personality assessment, and the relationship between personality and job performance. There are several overview chapters in the text - one provides a general survey of the landscape of personality theory and organizations, one presents a view of the European perspective on contemporary issues in personality research relevant to organizations in Europe, and one focuses on the origins of the book's title.
