  • A replicated quasi-experimental study on the influence of Personality and team climate in software development
    Empirical Software Engineering, 2014
    Co-Authors: Marta N. Gómez, Silvia T. Acuña
    Abstract:

    This article reports a replication of a quasi-experimental study analyzing how Personality Factors and team climate influence software development team effectiveness, product quality and team member satisfaction. The replication was designed on the basis of the original quasi-experimental study, both of which were run in an academic setting. In the original study, data were collected from a sample of 35 three-member developer teams. All these teams used an adaptation of extreme programming (XP) to the academic environment to develop the same software system. In the replication, the data were collected from a sample of 34 three- or four-member developer teams working on the same software project. Student teams used a common object-oriented software development paradigm to solve the set problem and applied the Unified Process. In both studies all teams were formed at random, and their members were blind to the quasi-experimental conditions and hypotheses. The replication of this empirical study aims to verify the results of the original quasi-experiment. It examines, first, whether Personality Factors (neuroticism, extroversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness) are related to the quality of the developed software and team member satisfaction and, second, whether the preferences, perceptions and preferences-perceptions fit for the four team climate Factors (participative safety, support for innovation, team vision and task orientation) are related to the quality of the developed software and team member satisfaction. The results of the replication corroborate some of the findings of the original study. On the one hand, the results revealed that there is a significant correlation between the extroversion Personality Factor and software quality, but no significant correlation between the extroversion Personality Factor and team satisfaction. Also, we found that the perception of team climate where participative safety is high is related to better quality software. We observed significant relationships between the perception of the four team climate Factors and team member satisfaction. Additionally, the results showed a positive relationship between software quality and teams in which the real climate perception at the end of the project is better than preferences stated by team members at the outset of the project for the participative safety Factor. Finally, we found that teams where the real climate is better than the stated preferences for the team orientation Factor exhibit a direct and positive relationship to team member satisfaction.

  • Personality profiles of suicidal depressed patients.
    Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand Chotmaihet thangphaet, 2006
    Co-Authors: Siriluck Suppapitiporn, Puangsoi Worakul
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the Personality profiles of depressed patients who attempted suicide. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The sample consisted of 80 patients aged above 18 years who presented with suicidal attempt and had clinical depression and 80 depressed patients who had never attempted suicide. The subjects were clinically assessed for depression and measured severity objectively with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Personality was assessed via the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF). RESULTS: The Personality profile showed that patients with suicidal attempt were easily affected by feelings, emotionally less stable, concrete thinking, relatively more uninhibited and imaginative compared to those without suicidal attempt. CONCLUSION: Depressed patients who attempted suicide appeared to have a distinctive Personality profile. Exploration and intervention tailored to specific Personality profile particularly emotional instability, and concrete thinking in individuals with depression should be included in management of depression for prevention and reducing risk of suicide.

  • Teaching Efficacy as Mediator the Role of Personality Factors Toward Teaching Performance
    2010
    Co-Authors: M. Noor Rochman Hadjam, Wahyu Widhiarso
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study is to test the role of teaching efficacy as a mediator relationship between Personality Factors and optimal teaching performance. Construct Personality Factor involved is Big Five Personality. Participants in this study were 142 teachers who are representatives of the provinces in Indonesia. Measurement instruments are Five Factors Personality Scale, teaching efficacy Scale and Teaching Performance Scale. This study suggest that the role of Personality Factors in directly effect is better to explain variations in teaching performance than directly effect. This conclusions are based on two results of the statistical analysis: (1) results from hierarchical regression analysis indicates that at final stage, entering Factors of teaching efficacy has reduced the role of all five Factors of Personality to the teaching performance of teachers (F = 17.81 p

  • adolescent risk taking and the five Factor model of Personality
    Journal of Adolescence, 2000
    Co-Authors: Eleonora Gullone, Susan S Moore
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to investigate the links between adolescent risk-taking and Personality in a comprehensive manner, as opposed to focusing on any one particular risk or Personality Factor as has occurred in much previous research. We conceptualized risk-taking broadly through use of the Adolescent Risk Questionnaire (ARQ) which yields information relating to risk judgements and behaviours in four areas (i.e. thrill-seeking risk behaviours, reckless risks, rebellious risks and antisocial risks). Personality was conceptualized using the Five-Factor Model of Personality, a comprehensive trait model of Personality. The ARQ and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory were administered to 459 school-based adolescents aged 11 to 18 years. Consistent with past research, younger adolescents and girls generally reported engaging in risk behaviours less frequently than older adolescents and boys. Also, younger adolescents and girls generally rated the ARQ behaviours as more risky than their older male counterparts. This was in line with the significant negative correlations found between risk judgements and risk behaviours of all types. Also consistent with past research, few age differences were found for the Personality traits. Sex differences were evident, with female adolescents scoring higher on neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness than male adolescents. Together, risk judgements, Personality Factors, age and sex were found to be significant predictors of risk behaviours; however, the Personality Factor of significance was found to differ depending upon the risk type. This was also true for age and sex which differed in importance depending upon the risk type. Overall, these Factors were most successful in predicting rebellious risk-taking and least successful in predicting thrill-seeking.

  • Investigating the influence of social desirability on Personality Factor structure.
    The Journal of applied psychology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Jill E. Ellingson, D. Brent Smith, Paul R. Sackett
    Abstract:

    This study provides a comprehensive investigation into whether social desirability alters the Factor structure of Personality measures. The study brought together 4 large data sets wherein different organizational samples responded to different Personality measures. This facilitated conducting 4 separate yet parallel investigations. Within each data set, individuals identified through a social desirability scale as responding in an honest manner were grouped together, and individuals identified as responding in a highly socially desirable manner were grouped together. Using various analyses, the fit of higher order Factor structure models was compared across the 2 groups. Results were the same for each data set. Social desirability had little influence on the higher order Factor structures that characterized the relationships among the scales of the Personality measures.
