Discuss the issue being studied and the reasons.
The issue discussed here is personality trait assessment precisely honesty-humility with its influence on individual performance. This research seeks to find the interaction of honesty-humility and situational conditions in bringing out counterproductive work behavior.
What type of research is conducted? Describe how the research was conducted ( i.e., apparatus, material, or procedures were).
Descriptive research was carried out. The study was conducted among 148 employees. The results showed that employees low in honesty-humility were affected by situational circumstances while those high in honesty-humility showed lower counterproductive work behavior.
Describe the participants of the research. How were they recruited for the study? Why did the author choose these particular participants? Were they paid for participation?
Participants were employees of the company, and they were sampled out. Out of the total employees, only 148 employees were chosen to participate in the research, and they were not paid.
Describe the most important hypothesis. What does the author hope to demonstrate the research?
The hypothesis was to find the relationship between honesty –humility and a person’s work performance. The author wanted to prove that the performance of employees at work correlates with the quality humility and honesty they posses.
Describe some of the results of the research and discuss the implications for these findings.
The results showed that employees low in honesty-humility found it challenging to work while these with high honesty – humility had low difficulties compared to the prior group. The results mean that employees’ honesty and humility level impacts their work performance.
What are some of the limitations of the study, as described by the author? Do you have suggestions for how these limitations could be addressed in future research?
The honesty-humility measure should not be used to determine a person’s performance at work. According to organization psychology, an employee’s work performance is determined by the organization’s motivation. In the future, this research should focus on separating personality and ethical employee surveillance.
Would you have participated in this research as a subject?

How does the research apply to your daily
This research shows how our moderation affects our performance in everyday activities. How you react to a particular situation, whether through discussion or speeches, determines the honesty level we possess.
