A meta‐analytic investigation into the moderating effects of situational strength on the conscientiousness–performance relationship
这项元分析发现，职业层面的情境强度会调节尽责性与工作绩效的关系：在情境较弱的职业中，尽责性对绩效的预测作用更强。
Abstract Debates about the utility of conscientiousness as a predictor of job performance have focused primarily on mean effect size estimates, despite theoretical and empirical reasons to expect variability across situations. The present study meta‐analytically demonstrates that occupation‐level situational strength is one important source of this variability. Consistent with theory, predicted uncorrected conscientiousness–performance correlations ranged from r = .09 to .23 (overall performance) and r = .06 to .18 (task performance), with stronger correlations observed in weak occupations. These results highlight the need for continued inquiry into the nature of situational strength, its impact on other predictor–outcome relationships, and the implications of these issues vis‐à‐vis theory and practice.
