Determining factors of Motivational Dimensions : (Childhood Personality and Workplace Competition Attitudes)

Abstract

During the course of personality development, the child’s personality is constantly changing. Adult character traits are a result of these changes. Characteristics such as motivation, conscientiousness, diligence, work capacity, and cooperativeness change and develop throughout the years. Competitivity is one of the important qualities in later work-life, the way the employee relates to competitive situations within the organization, what their opinions on these situations are. The present study is the result of research carried out by the authors aiming to examine the correlations between childhood personality traits and later attitudes to workplace competition. The results show that the individual player attitude has an effect on workplace performance and whether the person is result-driven, and that home life, including familial expectations, also influence the intro- and extroversive direction of personality development.
