This assignment provides you with an opportunity to explore the topic of personality and engage with Organisational Behaviour literature.
This assignment requires you to do research. Your task is to draw on Organisational Behaviour theory to critically analyse the topic of personality. Your essay should have the following sections:
1. Introduction. State the topic of the essay, what you will be arguing, and how you have structured the essay.
2. Identify and discuss the -Big Five- personality dimensions. Engage with OB theory and literature to identify and discuss the Big Five personality dimensions. Use examples to clarify/support the discussion. Use Organisational Behaviour concepts, theory and frameworks in addressing this section.
3. Utilise the theory of the “Big Five” personality dimensions and identify performance improvement areas. Based on the Big Five personality test conducted in your workshops (Weeks 1, 2 & 3) and results (must be agreed by Workshop Facilitator), identify two areas for self-improvement that may enhance your academic or work-related performance. Please use your personality assessment and Organisational Behaviour theories to logically explain and reach a conclusion.
4. Conclusion. Summarise key points made in the essay.
5. Reference list. You need to use the APA 6 referencing style.
Please include copies of the Big Five personality questionnaire and score with your Assessment 2. You can attach a pdf or a photo image; however, the attachment must be legible and approved by your Workshop Facilitator.
