Your assignment is to prepare and submit a paper on to what extent is behaviour at work a product of peoples individual differences. Today behavioural science which is concerned with the various forms and motivation of employee behaviour has become commonplace owing to the fact that the contemporary corporate world has is highly competitive and one needs to ensure their employees are in the best emotional form possible to maximize on the quality of their output. Personality is widely considered one of the key ingredients in studies relating to individuals behaviour in various contexts and this is especially pronounced in the prediction and analysis of work performance (Denissen, Van Aken & Roberts, 2011). It can loosely be define as the fundamental behaviour that sets apart ones individual from others and can be used to provide grounds for determining if one is capable of carrying out a given task with comparatively more acumen than someone possess with a different personality traits (Beer & Brooks, 2011). For an action to qualify as a personality trait, it must be stable and consistent throughout an individual’s life, naturally, people are bound to display variances in their tendencies, however personality theories are used to isolate and analyses the variances to determine the dominant characteristic. This paper aims at an incisive examination of the individual personality in connection to their behaviour in the context of a formal work environment by discussing different personalities theoretical information and how they weigh in on the behaviour of their owners and the organization at large.

Experts in personality hold that the long-term traits individuals exhibit impact directly on their behaviour and performance at work which has led to some scholar postulating that it is the most effective tool to predict performance (Ozer &Benet-Martinez, 2006. Schulman, 2011).
