Why personality traits describe dispositions


Problem: Please summarize the following text.

Personality traits describe dispositions influencing individuals' behavior and performance at work. To date, research in selection settings has focused uniquely on predicting task performance, missing the opportunity to exploit the potential of personality traits to predict non-task performance. Further, personality is often measured with self-report inventories, which are susceptible to self-distortion. assessing broad personality traits in selection seems promising given that personality traits are relatively stable in the working-age population (Cobb-Clark and Schurer, 2012; Elkins et al., 2017) and-outside of the scope of selection research-personality traits (such as the Big Five; Goldberg, 1992) have been found to relate to diverse performance criteria (e.g., Barrick and Mount, 1991; Hurtz and Donovan, 2000; Judge et al., 2013). personality traits have often been questioned as valid predictors of performance in the selection context, as past research found "that the validity of personality measures as predictors of job performance is often disappointingly low" (Morgeson et al., 2007, p. 693). Looking at current practice, selection research on personality traits has neglected two important points that might explain these findings. First, selection research usually focuses on the prediction of task performance, but personality traits have been shown to be better at predicting non-task performance (Gonzalez-Mulé et al., 2014).
