Distinguished Professional Contributions Award Winner: Organizational Culture Change is Not About Changing People’s Mental Sets
Initiation of organization change begins with a vision of the future, a cognitive process. But we should not assume that this thought process will then generate the necessary action for change particularly with respect to culture change. Begin with but do not concentrate on vision. It’s behavior change that is required.

This study examined the combined effect of objective body weight, perceived self body weight, and gender on illness-related absenteeism. The objective body weight was positively related to illness-related absenteeism for female employees only when they perceived themselves as overweight. However, the weight–absenteeism relationship was not significant for male employees.

These methods provide information in metrics that are accessible to the general public, policy makers, and other scientists.

224-20 Examining Alternate Scoring Formats of Situational Judgment Tests
Three situational judgment alternate scoring methodologies were compared in terms of validity and reliability. Although different scoring methods produced similar levels of validity, an ordinal scoring method produced slightly higher reliability than the other 2 approaches. Implications for future research are discussed.

224-21 Understanding Employment-Related Motivational Distortion Through Factor Analytic Techniques
An employment-related motivational distortion (EMD) scale was developed. Participants completed a personality inventory in a normal or cued-EMD condition. Scale items were selected based on mean-item differences while controlling for Type I error. A factor analysis of the items produced 4 common factors–Conscientiousness, Integrity/Rule
Abiding, Dominance/Leadership, and Concern for Others.

Results are discussed regarding Angoff reliability (.92) and validity (.65 to .84) in predicting actual item difficulty.

239-22 Main and Interaction Effects of Personality and P–O Fit
Trait activation theory guides examination of value-based P–O fit as a moderator of personality–performance relations in 210 managers. Adjustment, ambition, sociability, prudence (curvilinearly), and P–O fit contribute directly to performance. Ambition and sociability predict better when P–O fit is high, suggesting P–O fit may be especially relevant to Extraversion.

239-24 Validity of Personality Trait Interactions for Predicting Managerial Job Performance
Research suggests that personality traits may interact in predicting performance in certain jobs. Interactions between Big 5 traits against managerial job performance ratings (n = 680) were examined. Results suggest that this technique is not as beneficial for predicting performance in managerial jobs as research suggests it is for other job types.
