 Przedzialowy styl pracy jako predyktor osi¹gniec zawodowych (Interval Working Style as a Predictor of Professional Achievement)Mariola Majchrak ()
Research Reports, 2023, vol. 1, issue 38, 96-112 Abstract: Purpose: The conducted analysis aimed to examine the relationship between compartmental work style and professional achievements (at university and work). The role of achievement motivation was also tested. Methodology: Study 1 involved 188 students from the Faculty of Management. Study 2 involved 609 employees – respondents of the Nationwide Research Panel. In both CAWI surveys, the Activity Styles Survey (SSA) was used, which allows for the measurement of both the compartmental activity style (PSA) and achievement motivation. To assess student achievements, (1) points obtained from one subject (5 knowledge quizzes + presentation grade) and (2) the average grades over two years of study were used. Results: In the student study (N = 188), the compartmental style was a significant predictor of both the average grades from the period of two years and the points for the subject. In comparison to point students, interval students had better grades and obtained more points. In the employee study (N = 609), the compartmental style was not a significant predictor of professional achievements. Achievement motivation was a significant predictor in both studies. Limitations/Implications: The study only examined students from one field of study. In the future, it would be worth checking whether the observed relationship “better results for point scorers” will not be stronger in fields such as pharmaceutical studies and change direction in artistic studies to “better results for interval scorers”. In the employee study, the profession they were performing was not known. It can be assumed that the lack of matching of interval style to the specifics of the profession performed (e.g., interval accountant) will affect lower professional achievements. Originality/Value: These are the first studies in which the relationship between interval style and grades in studies was analysed. For the first time, the relationship between interval style and professional achievements of such a large group of employees was analysed.
