- Title
Personality, Individual Differences and Incentive Schemes.

- Abstract
Working adults completed a personality test (NEO-PI-R) of the Big Five traits and rated the perceived efficacy of 20 work-related incentive schemes. Factor analysis of the different schemes revealed four factors which were labelled: time/benefits: status; money and long term offers. Regressing the big five onto each factor score showed that less open, less conscientious, stable individuals rated the importance of time/benefits most. Further, extraversion was a hypothesized and significant predictor of the status factor. Demographic variables (sex, age, education) and religious and political beliefs were poor predictors of the factor scores. Results are discussed within the limited research in the area.
