QUESTION 1
In this module, you have come across two models in research, namely the TII5A model for
work- related personality research and an assessment research model. Explain the use of
these models in research.
1. TII5A Model for Work-Related Personality Research:
Explains the interaction between personality and work behaviors
The TII5A model, developed by Furnham (1995, 1997), provides a framework to understand how
personality factors influence work-related behaviors and how work-related variables can in turn
shape personality traits through socialization in the workplace. The model emphasizes the
multifactorial and indirect nature of these relationships, making it difficult to predict exact
outcomes.
This model integrates various organizational factors such as structure, procedures, and reward
systems, highlighting their influence on the relationship between personality and work behaviors.
This helps researchers explore how the organization mediates personality expression and work
outcomes.
The model suggests that work behaviors result from a combination of personality traits, work
environments, and broader external influences. It points out that prediction of work-related
behaviors can be complex due to the indirect and multicausal nature of personality’s influence.
The model can be used to relate concepts like locus of control, self-efficacy, and
introversion/extroversion to occupational behaviors, helping researchers understand how different
traits contribute to work outcomes.
2. Assessment Research Model:
Focus on predicting occupational behavior
The assessment research model, derived from the TII5A model, specifically focuses on predicting
work behaviors based on various personality and individual difference factors such as ability,
intelligence, motivation, and biographical traits. It provides a simplified and specified approach to
understanding how these factors can be used in personnel selection and job performance
predictions.
