Self-assessment report on professional characteristics 
 
Task: Compose a report on management performance characteristics 
Scope: Individual written research report

Self-assessment is the first step in planning your career.  It will provide you with an understanding of where 
you are starting from. 
Assessing your skills, traits and aptitudes will assist you to plan your career. Self-analysis requires you to

values align with the values inherent in your current organization and organizations you have worked with 
in the past; focus on where your real interests lie; and align your personal qualities and aptitude in terms of 
job preference.

3) The third sub-task requires you to identify specific strategies for developing your workplace 
effectiveness taking account of your personality characteristics and your emotional competencies 
and explaining how these will result in improvements in your performance.

Introduction 
For long, personality has remained an important feature of studies that determine various 
factors impacting job performance. According to the study conducted by Beer and Brooks, 
personality is a form of trait that helps in differentiating behavior of one person from another. 
The study also highlighted that personality of a person helps in providing valuable insight 
about an individual’s job performance (Beer, Brooks, 2011). 
Researchers across the globe have laid much stress on understanding the relationship between 
personality and organizational outcomes. While few researchers believe that human behavior 
and personality have stable traits which impacts behavior at work ((Denissen et al., 2011; 
Gerber et al., 2011), others are of the opinion that personality is an important factor which 
helps in determining environment and situation an individual would like to stay in personality 
effects the environments in which individuals are living (Chen, 2004; Schneider et al., 1998; 
Judge & Cable, 1997; Barrick 2003). 
For the purpose of this study, I will evaluate the work of Alharbi Mohammad Awadh and 
Wan Khairuzzaman Wan Ismail on personality issues and employee related attitudes. 
Review: Awadh, Ismail, (2012). The Impact of Personality Traits and Employee

related attitudes of individuals in Saudi Arabia. In terms of relevant literature related to

 Psychoanalytic theories
