As a future manager, it is important to understand how my personality can affect my specific role, my co-workers, and the success of the organization. This paper explores my personality style according to the Myer-Briggs personality test. I explored how each of the letters represents my personality as Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Judging (ISFJ). I have presented how each of these letters makes up my personality by providing personal and work experiences with a focus on my weaknesses. I have been able to better assess my worldview perspective under the Covenant model of Organizational behavior. Furthermore, I have explored what I learned to better understand how I fit in my organization and my role as an administrative assistant. By …show more content…
God made a Covenant with Noah in Genesis 9:17 God promised that he would never destroy the world again after the flood. God allowed the flood on earth because of the violence and corruption of men. God also made a covenant when he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and was risen. When we admit to be sinners and accept him as our savior, he gives us eternal life, and we begin a covenant relationship with Him. Covenants are important because they represent how relationships develop and what responsibility or role each member plays. Organizations often make Covenants which “protects the right of everyone by protecting the rights of every individual” (Fischer, K., 2009 p. 9). Applications of Covenantal terms within organizations fall under Hesed, Mutual Accountability, and Federalism (Fischer, K., 2009 p. 10). These terms are later discussed within the personality types. I-Introverted The Myers-Briggs Personality Test Analysis revealed that I am 72% distinctly Introverted. Under this preference, my energy source comes from inside as opposed to Extraverts whose energy is external. As an introverted, I tend to keep my feelings inside. This is truer in my work life than it is among my family and close friends. In my family, I am the oldest daughter; therefore, the authority that was bestowed upon me over my younger siblings allowed me to be more extroverted at home. This is not the case for my work life where I am a full introvert.
After completing the Jung Typology Test, and the Four Temperaments exercise, I have discovered what exactly my personality traits are and I have narrowed down what some of my strengths and weaknesses are based on a human metrics scale. Throughout this paper I will be discussing the Four Temperaments which are relevant to my test scores being, Extravert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging and how both my strengths and weaknesses in those temperaments can relate to my everyday work life. I will show those strengths and weaknesses by giving examples and researching which will show validity to why I scored what I did on the Jung Typology Test. Throughout this paper I will also be discussing the NF- “The Idealists” style and how being categorized as, “The Teacher” or “The Giver” type is fitting to my lifestyle. Lastly, I will reference the “Type Talk at Work” textbook in discussing what role I play in my organization and how I can better understand why my personality traits have such a major impact on who I am, how my co-workers view me and what I’ve learned. In conclusion, the Jung Typology Test and the Four Temperaments exercise will ultimately allow me to grow as a member in my organization.
As my result connotates, I am predominantly introverted, intuitive, feeling, and judging. I had only a slight preference of introvert over extrovert, playing likewise to the facts that INFJs have outward-reaching outlooks and seek to empathize with others on an intimate level.
The idea of covenant is central to the Bible’s story. “Covenant presents God’s desire to enter into relationship with men and women created in his image. This is reflected in the repeated covenant refrain, “I will be your God and you will be my people” (Exodus 6:6-8). Covenant is all about the relationship between the Creator and his creation. The idea may seem simple; however the implications of covenant and covenant relationship between God and humankind are immeasurable” (Gentry & Wellum, 2012, p21).
As human beings, we different from one another. We are created with a lot of character traits. We all can gain knowledge about our own personalities, we develop our perceptive about strengths and weaknesses, and clarify what we truly value as individuals. The Myers Brigg personality assessment classified me as an Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving (ISFP) personality type. Results showed slightly Introvert 16 %, sensing 12%, feeling 19%, and perceiving 3%. Throughout this paper I will analyze the diverse parts of my own personality traits and how those traits have effected both my personal and my working environment.
Covenant – Is an agreement, that must be kept, that binds two or more entities together (Van Groningen, 1996). Therefore, through God’s divine grace he elected to enter into a covenant with the patriarchs and the people of Israel, whereby he defined the terms of the covenant
It is virtually impossible for a team to be truly effective or successful without the individual personalities that make up the team taking the time to develop the best way to work together. Our textbook defines organizational behavior (OB) as “a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within organizations, for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization’s effectiveness” (Robbins & Judge, p. 10). The benefits and deficiencies of personality that each person possesses should all be determined and strategically positioned to best suit the team or task at hand. As stated by Dr. Kahlib J. Fischer, “So it is important that you understand your own behavioral tendencies and the behavioral tendencies of other individuals if you really want to understand how organizations behave and how they should behave according to God’s purpose” (Fisher, 2006). For the purposes of this paper, we will take an in depth look at my personal inventory assessment results and provide recommendations for growth in corporate, spiritual and personal areas.
Covenant is promise or contract between two parties with certain set of conditions. Sometimes one of the parties involved could be stronger than the other. For example, in the case of the covenant between God and Israel, or other that, an agreement can be between two people at the same position or level. The covenants can be either conditional or unconditional. In this essay, I will discuss the use of Covenant as a way that people relate with God as well as the way people relate among themselves through Covenants.
Allport defines personality as ‘the dynamic organisation within the individual of those psychological systems that determine his unique adjustment to his environment’ (Allport, 1937). An individual’s unique personality traits and attributes are a powerful indicator of how he/she will interact with the work environment. The difference between average and outstanding employees can often be solely personality related. As the employee is the most valuable asset to the company, ‘selecting the right employee during the process is critical’ (Carbery and Cross, 2013, pp. 41-53)
Gender stereotypes have long been a cause of judgment of individual performance in academic, athletic, and professional situations. Society has constructed and reinforced concepts of the quintessential male and female and their respective roles in the community. The expectations for each sex may incidentally affect their performance and success, especially when tasks seem to deviate from stereotypical gender roles. This experiment explores the effect of these judgments in stereotyped career settings.
Introved is always my clearest results when it comes to tests like these, I received 66% in this category. I am a very shy and quiet girl.; at social gatherings I tend to do more observing than socializing. For my future career in couples therapy I can see how my introversion will both help and hinder me. On one side my silence helps me to be extremely focused and observational, so I am able to catch things that others might not. But, on the other hand, my quietness might be perceived as coldness and make others uncomfortable. I am aware my personality can come off as harsh at times because I am very straight to the point.
Personality has been inherently defined as possession of a particular set of characteristics possessed by people which influences their behaviour and reactions in different situation along with their motivation level to react to difficulties at the workplace. However, understanding personality traits and their development has been a contentious matter. Nonetheless, various theories have been forwarded to rather contribute to this contentious debate. For example employers set goals and encourage involvement with the company to have a better employee performance, which would result in higher motivation level subsequently leading to increased efficiency. Studies regarding the relationship between personality traits of a particular employee
In the clearest sense a covenant is a special type of relationship. Normally practiced in the ancient Near East, covenant making allowed two parties, who were not related by blood, to enter into a special bond. There is considerable evidence to suggest that the concept of covenantal relationship was common in the ancient Near East. J. Arthur Thompson believes that one should keep the idea of covenant sacred, “In translating the word it may be helpful to use different terms such as agreement, alliance, league, or treaty, according to the sense, and to preserve the term “covenant” for the berîṯ between God and man.”
An organization is an entity comprising multiple people, who work interdependently to achieve a collective goal. Management is the process of achieving these organizational goals by working through people and other organizational resources (McShane, Olekalns, & Travaglione 2013). A necessary criteria for an organisation to operate at peak efficiency is to maximise employee job performance. A clear understanding of the personality that comprise their employees is quintessential for employers. Personality is the unique and relatively enduring pattern of thinking, feeling and acting that characterizes an individual and it can be explained by the Five Factor Model (Hurtz & Donovan 2001). By interacting with employees and analysing how they act
To understand how personality has consequences and influences it has on performance, it would be vital to contrast organisations and a psychologists approach as well definition of personality in an accurate and detailing understanding. Personalities can play a vital role in employee performance, as psychology attempts to distinguish the differences between individuals. "Personality is the psychological qualities that influence an individual 's characteristics behaviour patterns, in a stable and distinctive manner" (Huczynski & Buchanan 2013). It would also be necessary to consider the performance of employees which would affect the needs and expectations of stakeholders '. Organisations and employees would be required deliver satisfying results which would benefit in profit and an exceptional reputation for the organisation, however not all organisations seek to earn profit. This would be classified as performance management, "performance management is a process by which the company manages its performance in line with its corporate and functional strategies and objectives" (Bitici, Carrie & McDevitt 1997. This essay will investigate how personality predicts employee performance and explore factors which organisations need to scrutinize in order to accomplish certain tasks.
The past three years of my life feel like the only part of my life where I have truly lived. The massive majority of my most cherished memories and greatest challenges have taken place within the last few years. On December 26th 2015 my mom surprised me with a intro flight at my local flight school as a Christmas present; it was a simple flight up and down the Miami coastline at five hundred feet right as the sun was setting, and I was hooked the instant my instructor Rudy gave me the yoke. Seeing the city lights ignite the coast as we calmly trekked over downtown Miami was an image that incited a sense of wonder and longing in me that I had never experienced before. That short one hour flight went by in an instant, and before I knew it I was back one week later to begin my journey to where I am today. Over the course of two and one half months I balanced sophomore year of highschool with my private pilot training, finishing two weeks after my seventeenth birthday on March 31st. The next week I started my instrument and breezed through it in two months, and I quickly moved onto my commercial. The biggest obstacle of my commercial training was Time. By the time I was done with my instrument and ready to knock out my next stage of training, I learned that one needed to be eighteen in order to take the checkride. This happened to work out nicely, as it allowed me to focus more on school and enjoying my accomplishments with some relaxing cross-countries to build time.
