Sind Werte in der Prognose von Ausbildungs- und Studienwahl gegenüber Interessen und Persönlichkeit inkrementell valide?
Werte sind bedeutsam für die treffende Beschreibung von Personenbedürfnissen und organisationalen Befriedigungspotenzialen. Der Werte-Person-Umwelt-Fit zeigt zudem eine hohe prognostische Validität für berufliche Leistung und Zufriedenheit (z.B. Kristof-Brown, Zimmerman & Johnson, 2005). Die inkrementelle Validität von Werten gegenüber beruflichen Interessen und Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen bleibt jedoch bislang ungeklärt. Die drei auf diesem Poster präsentierten Studien prüfen, a) wie sich Werte operationalisieren lassen, b) ob sie einen Beitrag zur Differenzierung von Ausbildungs- und Studienwahlentscheidungen leisten können und c) ob sie gegenüber Interessen und Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen inkrementell valide sind.
Being Snoopy and Smart: The Relationship between Curiosity, Fluid Intelligence, and Knowledge
Curiosity is a basic driver for learning and development. It has been conceptualized as a desire for new information and knowledge that motivates people to explore their physical and social environment. This raises the question of whether curiosity facilitates the acquisition of knowledge. The present study ( N = 100) assessed epistemic curiosity and general knowledge as well as fluid intelligence (i.e., reasoning ability, processing speed, memory) in a student sample. The results indicate that epistemic curiosity is moderately related to knowledge ( r = .24) and reasoning ability ( r = .30). None of the fluid intelligence measures did moderate the relationship between curiosity and knowledge (interaction terms β < |.08|). Rather, reasoning ability mediated the relationship between epistemic curiosity and general knowledge (indirect effect: β = .10, p < .05). The findings suggest that epistemic curiosity facilitates the acquisition of knowledge by promoting reasoning. One might speculate that epistemically curious individuals enrich their environment, which in turn enhances their cognitive ability.
Interests and intelligence: A meta-analysis
The purpose of this article is to examine the nature and magnitude of the relationship between cognitive abilities and vocational interests — two important measures of individual differences. Our meta-analysis of 27 studies with 29 independent samples and an overall sample size of 55,297 participants demonstrated meaningful relations between cognitive abilities and vocational interests. Meta-analytic coefficients ranged from −0.29 to 0.47; their strength and direction were comparable for females and males. Furthermore, we established both age and birth cohort as moderators of the relation between interests and cognitive abilities. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.
Female entrepreneurs need to be self-efficient and not risk-taking: personality and perceived success throughout the entrepreneurial journey
This study addresses the underrepresentation of women and the so-far neglected process perspective in empirical entrepreneurial research. It aims to identify the personality traits that differentiate successful female entrepreneurs from their less successful peers and to determine which traits are crucial for pre-launch, launch, and post-launch success. Independent t-tests on 305 female entrepreneurs (and 476 male entrepreneurs) from the DACH region highlight the role of self-efficacy, proactivity, locus of control, and need for achievement for female entrepreneurs. Multiple regression analyses further reveal the importance of self-efficacy for every phase of women’s entrepreneurial journey. While the need for autonomy was critical during pre-launch and launch, locus of control significantly predicted female entrepreneurial success in the pre-launch and post-launch phases. Contrary to previous research, risk-taking was not a crucial trait for female entrepreneurs when compared to their male counterparts, while both showed similar levels of need for autonomy, proactivity, need for achievement, perseverance, self-control, and locus of control. The study offers valuable insights into successful entrepreneurship and highlights the need for female- and phase-specific support programs to enhance self-efficacy among female entrepreneurs.
