Abstract

Many researchers have speculated that personality affects team performance, but the empirical literature on this subject is inconclusive. Prior research on the topic has been hindered by conceptual problems; how to define personality, and how to classify team tasks. By linking a system for classifying team task environments with new data on personality structure, specific predictions are made regarding the relationship between personality and team effectiveness. Keywords: Individual differences; Personality; Individualized training, Naval personnel.
