Abstract

DELGADO-RODRIGUEZ, Naira et al. Contextual performance in academic settings: the role of personality, self-efficacy, and impression management. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.63-68.  Epub June 14, 2021. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/jwop2018a8.

The main purpose of this paper was to analyse the predictive role of personality, self-efficacy, and impression management on contextual performance in academic settings. A sample of 223 university students voluntarily answered a battery of tests on-line. Results showed that conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness, as well as self-efficacy, predict contextual performance self-evaluations. Furthermore, the significant interaction between conscientiousness and self-efficacy multiplies their influence. Besides, impression management contributes to predicting contextual performance, but did not interact with the remaining variables. Results related to personality and self-efficacy are consistent with those found in work settings.

Keywords : Contextual performance; Personality; Self-efficacy; Impression management; Academic context.
