We introduce a personality inventory designed to measure six major dimensions of derived from lexical studies structure. The HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI) consists 24 facet-level trait scales that define the factors named Honesty-Humility (H), Emotionality (E), Extraversion (X), Agreeableness (A), Conscientiousness (C), and Openness Experience (O). In this validation study involving sample over 400 respondents, all HEXACO-PI showed high internal consistency reliabilities,...

To investigate the role of affect and cognitions in predicting organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) workplace deviance (WDB), data were collected from 149 registered nurses their coworkers. Job was associated more strongly than job with OCB directed at individuals, whereas correlated did organization. With respect to WDB, played a important prediction when represented by 2 general mood variables (positive negative affect). When discrete emotions used represent affect, however, as...

We describe the HEXACO-60, a short personality inventory that assesses 6 dimensions of HEXACO model structure. selected 10 items each scales from longer Personality Inventory-Revised (Ashton & Lee, 2008; Lee Ashton, 2004, 2006), with aim representing broad range content defines dimension. In self-report data samples college students and community adults, showed reasonably high levels internal consistency reliability rather low interscale correlations. Correlations HEXACO-60 measures Big Five...

Standard psycholexical studies of personality structure have produced a similar 6-factor solution in 7 languages (Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Polish). The authors report the content these dimensions and interpret them as follows: (a) variant Extraversion, defined by sociability liveliness (though not bravery toughness); (b) Agreeableness, gentleness, patience, agreeableness (but also including anger ill temper at its negative pole); (c) Conscientiousness (emphasizing...

Sexual harassment (SH) has been identified as one of the most damaging and ubiquitous barriers to career success satisfaction for women. This study meta‐analyzed data from 41 studies, with a total sample size nearly 70,000 respondents, examine several negative consequences workplace SH well how situational factors may play role in facilitating these occurrences. experiences are associated outcomes such decreased job satisfaction, lower organizational commitment, withdrawing work, ill...

We argue that lexical studies of personality structure suggest the existence six major dimensions personality: (I) Surgency, (II) Agreeableness, (III) Conscientiousness, (IV) Emotional Stability, (V) Intellect/Imagination, and (VI) Honesty. then propose a two‐part theoretical basis for these dimensions. First, Honesty rotated variants Agreeableness Stability are interpreted in terms three traits—fairness/non‐exploitation, forgiveness/non‐retaliation, empathy/attachment—that underlie...

Abstract The influences of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and workplace deviant (WDB) on business unit performance were investigated using data from branches a fast food organization. Data included measures WDB OCB obtained staff, ratings provided by supervisors, objective performance. It was found that negatively significantly associated with measured both subjectively objectively. OCB, however, failed to contribute the prediction beyond level achieved WDB. appeared, therefore,...

Psychometric properties of the 100-item English-language HEXACO Personality Inventory–Revised (HEXACO-PI-R) were examined using samples online respondents ( N = 100,318 self-reports) and undergraduate students 2,868 self- observer reports). The results as follows: First, hierarchical structure HEXACO-100 was clearly supported in two principal components analyses: each six factors defined by its constituent facets 25 items. Second, factor scales showed fairly low intercorrelations, with only...

Abstract This study investigated the relations of proposed sixth factor personality, Honesty‐Humility, with dimensions classic English lexical Big Five and closely related Five‐Factor Model (FFM). Results showed that although Honesty‐Humility was largely unrelated to markers factors, it substantially correlated FFM Agreeableness domain. relation due Straightforwardness Modesty facets Agreeableness, which were only weakly version Agreeableness. A realignment produce separate factors provided...

R. E. Lucas, Diener, A. Grob, M. Suh, and L. Shao (2000) recently argued that the core of personality dimension Extraversion is not sociability but a construct called reward sensitivity. This article accepts their argument mere preference for social interaction central element Extraversion. However, it claims real factor tendency to behave in ways attract attention. Data from sample 200 respondents were used test 2 hypotheses with comparisons measures sensitivity attention terms saturation...

ABSTRACT Two studies tested the correspondence between six dimensions obtained in lexical of personality structure and proposed HEXACO framework. Study 1 examined English lexicon using 449 adjectives selected according to rated frequency use description. Six validimax‐rotated factors derived from adjective self‐ratings showed strong convergent weak discriminant correlations with questionnaire markers factors; were also recovered peer ratings. In 2, lay judges conceptual similarity factor...

Data were collected from two undergraduate student samples to examine (i) the relations of ‘Dark Triad’ variables (Machiavellianism, Psychopathy, and Narcissism) with HEXACO personality dimensions, as well (ii) ability aforementioned characteristics Big Five factors predict outcome related sex, power, money. Results indicated that common variance Dark Triad was very highly correlated low Honesty–Humility unique each also showed theoretically meaningful other five factors. Furthermore, strong...

Abstract Recent lexical studies of personality structure suggest that there are 6, not just 5, basic dimensions human variation. The most distinguishing feature this new 6-dimensional structure, known as the HEXACO model, is addition a factor named Honesty-Humility. We demonstrate dimension has important implications in personnel psychology. Specifically, model substantially outperformed Five-factor (FFM) predicting workplace delinquency based on samples obtained 3 different countries,...

The HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI) operationalizes the six factors obtained from lexical studies of personality structure in several languages. In this study, psychometric properties HEXACO-PI were assessed using a community adult sample and also observer reports, thereby extending previous investigation relying only on self-reports college student sample. addition to examining original 24 facet scales, authors examined two new scales--Altruism versus Antagonism Negative...

There is considerable scientific interest in the psychological correlates of pro-environmental behaviors. Much research has focused on demographic and social-psychological characteristics individuals who consistently perform such actions. Here, we report results 2 studies which explored relations between broad personality traits Using a wide variety behavior measures, found moderate positive Openness to Experience activities both community sample (Study 1: N = 778) an undergraduate student...

The six–dimensional HEXACO model of personality structure and its associated inventory have increasingly been used in research. But spite the evidence supporting this demonstrating advantages over five–dimensional models, some researchers continue to use promote latter. Although there has little overt, organized argument against adoption model, we do hear sporadic offerings reasons for retaining systems, usually informal conversations, manuscript reviews, on social media platforms,...

The structure of the English personality lexicon was investigated using self-ratings (N = 310) on a set 1,710 personality-trait adjectives. 5-factor solution resembled Big Five structure, but included rotational variants Agreeableness and Emotional Stability similar to those other languages. In 6-factor an additional factor, defined by terms such as unpretentious versus sly, Honesty-Humility factor observed in also produced especially clear 5th Intellect, Imagination, Unconventionality...

Although the criterion‐related validity of integrity tests is well established, there has not been enough research examining which personality constructs contribute to their validity. Moreover, evidence how findings on in North America generalize non‐English speaking countries virtually absent. This addressed these issues with data obtained from employees and students Canada Germany (total N = 853). Specifically, we tested hypotheses that (a) Honesty–Humility, as specified HEXACO model...
