Personality, Attitudes, and Work Behaviors - Part 2

In this lecture, we go beyond the Big Five personality traits to explore other important attributes that shape workplace behavior and leadership. We’ll cover concepts such as self-monitoring, proactive personality, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, and see how they influence performance, leadership potential, and career success.

We’ll also discuss the use of personality testing in employee selection, including common challenges like faking, test validity, and self-knowledge limits. Plus, we look at the role of values in shaping our choices at work, with examples from the Schwartz Value Inventory (SVI).

By the end of this video, you’ll understand:
✅ How self-monitoring helps people adapt to different social contexts
✅ Why proactive individuals often succeed—and sometimes cause friction
✅ The effects of high vs. low self-esteem in workplace settings
✅ Why self-efficacy predicts performance and growth
✅ The limits and pitfalls of personality testing in hiring
✅ How values guide career choices and organizational fit
