Evaluating Employee Characteristics
Some research studies (Ilies & Judge 2003; Saari & Judge 2004) report that genetics play a very important part in whether an employee has job satisfaction. Their work suggests that the attitudes personality and values that a person brings to the workplace are better predictors of whether the employee will be satisfied than any of the external factors a company or manager might provide the employee. In fact their studies indicate that a person with high satisfaction will generally report being highly satisfied no matter the situation within the company. Similarly a person who reports low satisfaction will consistently report low satisfaction no matter what the company may do to increase the employee’s satisfaction.
If these studies are correct then there would seem to be some rationality in only hiring applicants with positive personalities.
