The Nature of Individual Differences

Individual differences

are personal attributes that

vary from one person to another. Individual differ-

ences may be physical, psychological, or emotional.

Taken together, all the individual differences that

characterize any specific person serve to make that

individual unique from everyone else. Much of the

remainder of this chapter is devoted to individual

differences. Before proceeding, however, we must

also note the importance of the situation in assessing

the behavior of individuals.

Are specific differences that characterize a

given individual good or bad? Do they contribute

to or detract from performance? The answer, of

course, is that it depends on the circumstances.

One person may be very dissatisfied, withdrawn,

and negative in one job setting, but very satisfied,

outgoing, and positive in another. Working con-

ditions, coworkers, and leadership are all impor-

tant ingredients.

Thus, whenever an organization attempts to

assess or account for individual differences among

its employees, it must also be sure to consider the

situation in which behavior occurs. Individuals who

are satisfied or productive workers in one context

may prove to be dissatisfied or unproductive workers

in another context. Attempting to consider both

individual differences and contributions in relation

to inducements and contexts, then, is a major chal-

lenge for organizations as they attempt to establish

effective psychological contracts with their employ-

ees and achieve optimal fits between people and

jobs.

PERSONALITY AND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIOR



Personality traits represent some of the most fundamental sets of individual differences

in organizations.



Personality

is the relatively stable set of psychological and behavioral

attributes that distinguish one person from another.

Managers should strive to under-



stand basic personality attributes and the ways they can affect people’s behavior in orga-

nizational situations, not to mention their perceptions of and attitudes toward the

organization.
