Relations of incumbent affect-related personality traits with incumbent and objective measures of characteristics of jobs

Article Abstract:

A mail survey of University of South Florida civil service employees was conducted to examine if affect-related personality traits of people determine their choice of jobs. The study focused on the relationship of trait anxiety and dispositional optimism with the objective features of people's jobs. The results showed that people high in trait anxiety tend to be in jobs that are low in autonomy, identity, variety, significance, complexity and feedback, while people high in dispositional optimism tend to be in jobs that are high in all those job characteristics.
