Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Intelligenz und Erfolg im Beruf

Eine Bestandsaufnahme internationaler und nationaler Forschung

Published Online:May 08, 2008https://doi.org/10.1026/0033-3042.59.2.108

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Bedeutung von Persönlichkeitseigenschaften und kognitiven Fähigkeiten für berufliche Erfolgskriterien, d.h. für berufliche Leistung und Berufserfolg. Zunächst wird ein Überblick über den internationalen Stand der Forschung, über metaanalytische Befunde und aktuelle Debatten geliefert, anschließend werden aktuelle Befunde aus Deutschland resümiert. Diese Bestandsaufnahme deutscher Studien verdeutlicht, dass deutsche Persönlichkeits- und Intelligenztests hinsichtlich berufsrelevanter Kriterien noch nicht ausreichend validiert wurden. Dies mag dazu beitragen, dass trotz der internationalen empirischen Evidenz für ihre Validität Persönlichkeits- und Intelligenztests in Deutschland vergleichsweise selten in der personaldiagnostischen Praxis eingesetzt werden. Implikationen werden abgeleitet, die zu einer Annäherung zwischen Forschung und Praxis beitragen könnten.


Personality traits, intelligence, and success at work. A review of international and national research

Abstract. This review focuses on the role personality traits and cognitive abilities play for criteria of occupational success, i.e. job performance and career success. First, an overview of the international state of the art, meta-analytical results, and current debates are presented, then current German findings are summarized. This summary of German research illustrates that German personality and intelligence tests have not yet been sufficiently validated with respect to job-relevant criteria. This may be one reason why personality and intelligence tests are relatively rarely used for personnel selection in Germany, despite the international evidence for their validity. Implications are presented which might contribute to reconciling research and practice in Germany.
