Purpose

This paper aims to examine the link between the Big Five personality traits and self-efficacy for teamwork, positioning manifest needs as intervening variables. The primary purpose of the analyses is to further develop some of the key variables contributing to team performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Relationships were tested with conditional process analysis. The sample includes 315 students from a large university. Likert measures were used to operationalize survey items, which are based on existing scales in the literature.

Findings

Each of the Big Five dimensions are related to teamwork self-efficacy (TSE), with manifest needs having significant mediating effects. For example, conscientiousness displayed a positive relationship to TSE, with both the need for affiliation and the need for power acting as significant intervening variables. Such relationships for each personality dimension are discussed fully in the paper.

Practical implications

High functioning teams need members who share a level of self-efficacy for engaging in teamwork. Leaders who must form their teams may find it useful to consider TSE, and the individual attributes that contribute to this important construct. The authors’ examination of the roles of both personality and manifest needs should offer some essential tools for this objective.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to our understanding of the relationship between personality and TSE by investigating manifest needs as process variables.

对团队合作的感觉良好：个性和明显需求的作用

目的

本文旨在研究大五人格特质与团队合作自我效能之间的联系，将明显的需求定位为干预变量。分析的主要目的是进一步开发一些有助于团队绩效的关键变量。

设计/方法论/途径

通过条件过程分析来测试关系。该样本包括来自一所大型大学的 315 名学生。李克特测量用于实施基于文献中现有量表的调查项目。

发现

大五个维度中的每一个都与团队自我效能感（TSE）相关，其中明显的需求具有显着的中介作用。例如，责任心与 TSE 呈正相关，对归属的需求和对权力的需求都是重要的干预变量。本文对每个人格维度的这种关系进行了充分讨论。

实际影响

高功能团队需要具有一定程度的自我效能感的成员来参与团队合作。必须组建团队的领导者可能会发现考虑 TSE 以及有助于这一重要构建的个人属性很有用。作者对人格和显性需求的作用的研究应该为实现这一目标提供一些重要的工具。

原创性/价值

本文通过研究作为过程变量的明显需求，有助于我们理解人格与 TSE 之间的关系。
