Personality traits as predictors of external and internal attribution (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med studien är att undersöka om det går att predicera individers attribution av negativ kritik från sin chef till externa eller interna orsaker i hypotetiska situationer, beroende på individens personlighetsdrag enligt femfaktormodellen. Datainsamling genomfördes på sociala medier via en digital enkät, baserad på The Attributional Style Questionnaire och en svensk översättning av Ten-Item Personality Inventory. De 116 respondenterna i studien har varit verksamma i arbetslivet under minst ett år på en anställningsgrad på 50% eller mer. Studien visade att personlighetsdragen från femfaktorsmodellen inte kunde predicera om en individ attribuerade externt eller internt avseende negativ kritik från chefen. Ingen signifikant skillnad mellan könen hittades.
Abstract [en]
The purpose of the study was to investigate whether it was possible to predict an individual's attribution of negative criticism from their boss in hypothetical situations (based on internal- external attribution and the five-factor model). Data collection was carried out on social media through a digital survey, based on The Attributional Style Questionnaire and a Swedish translation of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory. The 116 participants involved in the study had a work experience of a minimum of one year, with a full-time position or part- time employment of 50% or higher. The study showed that personality traits could not predict whether an individual attributed external or internal negative criticism from the manager. No significant difference between the sexes was found.
