| Summary: | Just as people can be described by traits, situations can be described by the
“Situational Eight” DIAMONDS (Duty, Intellect, Adversity, Mating, pOsitivity,
Negativity, Deception, Sociality) (Rauthmann et al., 2014). Based upon the common
occurrence of situations in combinations unique to different occupations the current study
sets out to (1) map the DIAMONDS dimensions into the workplace and (2) examine the
relationships between the DIAMONDS dimensions and other measures of work contexts
(Skill, Abilities, Knowledge, etc.). Through the use of a modified version of the S8*
(Rauthmann & Sherman, 2014), the DIAMONDS dimensions were correlated with
scored responses of either individuals in the profession, or professional experts, on
important worker characteristics and occupational requirements for 954 individually
identified occupations (n = 954) compiled by O*NET (National Center for O*NET
Development, 2016). === Includes bibliography. === Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2017. === FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
