This study reviews the recent empirical studies on knowledge sharing and personality and diversity. The paper begins with an overview of the concepts of knowledge sharing and personality. Secondly, the Big Five personality traits (openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and neuroticism) and aspects of diversity (culture and gender) that influence knowledge sharin...

This paper proposes an ANFIS (Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System) Learning Approach where we have found patterns of personality types using Big Five Personality Tests for Software Engineering Roles in Software Development Project Teams as part of RAMSET (Role Assignment Methodology for Software Engineering Teams) methodology. An ANFIS model is applied to a set of role traits resultin...

Factors identified in investigations of trait structure (e.g., the Big Five) are sometimes understood as explanations or sources of the covariation of distinct behavioral traits, as when extraversion is suggested to underlie the covariation of assertiveness and sociability. Here, we detail how trait covariation can alternatively be understood as arising from units common to functionalist and pr...

Personality neuroscience involves the use of neuroscience methods to study individual differences in behavior, motivation, emotion, and cognition. Personality psychology has contributed much to identifying the important dimensions of personality, but relatively little to understanding the biological sources of those dimensions. However, the rapidly expanding field of personality neuroscience is...

This study examined whether big five personality traits affect game addiction with control of psychological, social, and demographic factors. Specifically, using data from a survey of 789 game users in Korea, we conducted a regression analysis to see the associations of psychological (loneliness/depression), social (activities with family/friends), self-efficacy (game/general), gaming (daily ga...

Two hundred and twenty-one business executives completed the Big Five NEO-RI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1992; an inventory of normal personality), the Hogan Development Survey (HDS) (Hogan & Hogan, 1997; an inventory of career derailing tendencies) and the Motives, Values and Preferences Inventory (MVPI) (Hogan & Hogan, 1999; an inventory of ten core occupational values). Correlational and regression a...

Two studies were conducted to see whether a general factor of personality (GFP) could be extracted from different measures of personality. Using samples of twins in both studies also allowed an assessment of the extent to which genetic and/ or environmental factors contributed to individual differences in the GFPs that were found. In Study 1, principal components analysis of the Big Five person...

Personality questionnaire items are normally written by experts in personality theory or psychometrics. This makes personality test development expensive, especially since as many as 40% of the items are discarded after quantitative analysis. Could the crowd create personality items that are as good as the ones developed by professionals? We analyze the psychometric quality of 164 Big Five pers...
