It has been repeatedly hypothesized that job characteristics are related to changes in personality in humans, but often personality models still omit effects of life experience. Demonstrating reciprocal relationships between personality and work remains a challenge though, as in humans, many other influential factors may interfere. This study investigates this relationship by comparing the emotional reactivity of horses that differed only by their type of work. Horses are remarkable animal models to investigate this question as they share with humans working activities and their potential difficulties, such as "interpersonal" conflicts or "suppressed emotions". An earlier study showed that different types of work could be associated with different chronic behavioural disorders. Here, we hypothesised that type of work would affect horses' personality. Therefore over one hundred adult horses, differing only by their work characteristics were presented standardised behavioural tests. Subjects lived under the same conditions (same housing, same food), were of the same sex (geldings), and mostly one of two breeds, and had not been genetically selected for their current type of work. This is to our knowledge the first time that a direct relationship between type of work and personality traits has been investigated. Our results show that horses from different types of work differ not as much in their overall emotional levels as in the ways they express emotions (i.e. behavioural profile). Extremes were dressage horses, which presented the highest excitation components, and voltige horses, which were the quietest. The horses' type of work was decided by the stall managers, mostly on their jumping abilities, but unconscious choice based on individual behavioural characteristics cannot be totally excluded. Further research would require manipulating type of work. Our results nevertheless agree with reports on humans and suggest that more attention should be given to work characteristics when evaluating personalities.
Yes, I believe that work affects personality. While there is no bad work that is ethical.
Work builds different types of personalities and behaviors.
Basis for Action
It is personal
When choosing a new employee of a company should pay attention to personal assessment of the employee
What can make the work of sincerity and loyalty
And the dedication and performance
I fully agree with the answer been added by MR Vinod Jetley ..............thanks
Yes Yes Yes, simply i know from myself. Thank You.
Definitely, different type of work will make you using your brain in different aspects. Seeing something from different angles. Your personality reflects you and how you think and the appearance of your personality will come back from your thinking. They are inter-correlated
yes, both affect each other and can also be keep away if one has to wish.
i think it adds some features or corrects some other features, i think it gives you a true perspective of what it is, regarless what society thinks of that sort of work
yes, work affects individual's personality. it is also called environmental factors (internal and external) and work is considered as one of internal factors affecting an employee's behavior. The working place condition, manager and co-workers, technologies and more are samples of internal factors that could affect worker's personality.
Yes.................. work has a direct impact on employee's personality & traits.......
Those who enjoys their job are showed that the nature of of job had a positive impact on their personality and similarly work load has a negative impact on employee personalty.
