Intelligence, personality, and Interests - Determinants of individual inventory management performance?
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of four personal traits (intelligence, knowledge, personality and interests) on performance in an inventory management task. We base our model on PPIK theory from cognitive psychology and ground the experiment we conduct on the tradition of dynamic decision making research. Findings are that intelligence and knowledge are good predictors of inventory management performance, while the analysis shows no relation or only partial relations between personality and interests, and performance. Implications for research comprise investigating the relationship between the four traits and accounting for different task complexities. The value of this paper lies in the adaptation and the application of psychological theory on inventory management.
