Die verband tussen persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses in die suiwelbedryf

Abstract

Die primere doelstellings van die navorsing is om die verband tussen persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses te bepaal. Persoonlikheid is deur die 16-Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys ( 16PF) en toesighouersukses deur 'n prestasiebeoordelingstelsel gemeet. 'n Literatuurstudie van persoonlikheidsteoriee en vorige navorsing is gebruik om die verwantskap tussen persoonlikheid en werksukses te verifieer en die navorsingsbehoefte aan te dui. Die steekproef is 74 toesighouers, hoofsaaklik blanke mans, by 'n fabriek van 'n suiwelvervaardigingsmaatskappy. Die verwantskap tussen die 16PF-resultate en toesighouersukses is statisties deur Pearson en Spearman se Produkmomentkorrelasiemetode, Standaard en Stapsgewyse meervoudige regressie en T-toetse vir onafhanklike groepe bepaal. Die resultate toon dat slegs faktore B, C, L, 0, Q4 en die tweedeordefaktor QII van die 16PF 'n beduidende verband met toesighouersukses het. Dit is bevind dat ouderdom, ondervinding en kwalifikasie nie die verwantskap tussen persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses be'invloed nie. Hoewel hierdie bevindinge nie veralgemeen kan word nie, moet persoonlikheid wel deeglik by die evaluering van personeel, byvoorbeeld in seleksie, oorweeg word.

The aim of the research is to establish the relationship between personality and supervisor success. Personality was measured with the 16-Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and supervisor success through a performance measuring system. A literature study was done to verify the relationship between personality and work success. The sample consisted of 74 supervisors, mainly white males, working at a dairy factory. The relationship between the 16PF results and supervisor success has been statistically established through Pearson and Spearman's Product-moment correlation method, standard and stepwise multiple regression analysis and T-tests for independent groups. The results show that factors B, C, L, 0, Q4 and the second order factor QII of the 16PF has a meaningful relationship with supervisor success. It was found that age, qualifications and experience do not influence the relationship between personality and supervisor success. The findings cannot be generalized but personality can be taken into consideration when evaluating employees, for example in selection.
