Stability and plasticity in personality: A meta‐analytic investigation of their influence on cultural intelligence and five forms of job performance
这项元分析研究了大五人格的稳定性和可塑性两个元特质对文化智力及五种工作绩效的影响，发现文化智力在可塑性与工作绩效之间起更强的中介作用，并揭示了抑制效应。
Abstract This meta‐analysis clarifies and tests the structural relationships among the Big Five personality traits, cultural intelligence (CQ), and an expanded criterion domain of job performance. Positioning CQ in the nomological network of personality traits is timely because research has demonstrated that CQ predicts a range of work‐related outcomes in today's multicultural workplace. Drawing on the Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T), we conduct a meta‐analytic investigation ( n = 24,552; k = 109) of the metatraits of stability (shared variance of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and emotional stability) and plasticity (shared variance of extraversion and openness) on CQ and five job performance outcomes (task performance, affiliative citizenship performance, change‐oriented citizenship performance, adaptive performance, and creative performance). Our findings show that CQ is a stronger mediator of the plasticity metatrait (than stability) on job performance, supporting our hypotheses. We also discover intriguing suppressor effects, suggesting that the importance of the plasticity metatrait on job performance could be underestimated in existing Big Five meta‐analyses.
