individual differences in predicting and determining behaviour at work. bines
approaches anisational psychology and personality theory to critically exam-
ine the physical, psychological and psychoanalytic aspects of individual differences,

intelligence (EI). The significance of personality traits and the impact of temperaments
on work performance are also examined, and the methods used to assess work

agement science. It will be of interest to students anisational psychology and
