5028.97 The structure of employee’s conscientiousness, Wang Lei, Yao Xiang, Huang Gang,
Peking University, China
This study aimed to determine the factors and the structure of employee’s conscientiousness. A
survey with 23 items was developed to test 178 employees from different enterprises. The
Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed two factors: Capability and Attitude, explaining 53.67% of
the total variance. Finally, 50 managerial supervisors were tested with a newly designed
situational questionnaire to examine the validity of the dimensions of employee’s
conscientiousness. The results showed that the situational questionnaire designed in accordance
with the respective dimensions can satisfactorily distinguish the employees with high or low
conscientiousness. The implication to personnel recruitment and selection was also discussed.
5028.98 Research into dispositional and situational factors determining organizational behavior,
Alexander Erofeev, Raya Nechaeva, Anna Skatova, Moscow State University, Russia
Today we can outline two equally well-grounded controversial approaches to prediction of a
person’s behavior in different situations. These are situational and dispositional approaches.
Within our research we tried to determine which characters, situational or personal, and to which
degree influence the subjects’ behavior. Research, the result of which we are planning to present,
was carried out at a large industrial enterprise in Russia and employed a sample of 170 people. We
used a poll for the evaluation of the situational characters and Moscow Personality Inventory was
employed for the estimation of the dispositional characters.
5028.99 Situational behavior tests, Anna Skatova, Moscow State University, Russian Federation
The foundation of the main problem of research was laid by Kurt Lewin in his formula, which
states that behavior is a function of situation and personality. The main question is how to create
an evaluation procedure which would take into account both dispositional and situational factors.
One of the approaches makes use of Situational Behavior Tests and also employs a special method
of registration of subjects’ behavior in group discussions. The results of the evaluation which
studied samples of students employing this methodological system will be presented in a
presentation.
5028.100 Preventing effect of performance and learning goal on a decline of task motivation,
Fumiko Fujise, Hisataka Furukawa, Kyushu University, Japan
This study examined the preventing effect of “performance goal” and “learning goal” (Dweck &
Leggett, 1988) on a decline of task motivation. Subjects, 232 undergraduates, were asked to
imagine being a team leader, and respond to a questionnaire. The interpersonal relationship with
peer (good or bad) and the level of task performance (good or bad) were manipulated into 4
conditions. Results were followed as: Ss with the best conditions maintained initial motivation. Ss
with the worst conditions, however, tended to decrease their motivation, but the decline was
significantly smaller for Ss with clear performance goals and learning goals.
