===============================================


APPLICATION :

As a manager, when we have a job to fill, we need to know what kind of personality (best on the 5 dimension) will best fit the job we have.

so that the person selected will be able to perform.

In addition to personality theory, we also look at the person's knowledge, skill and abilities.

INTERACTIONIST THEORY :

- people can change their behaviour to fit into a job situation, but they may not be happy or take lots of effort.

eg : an introvert can do a sales job, but they need to change their behaviour to fit in a sales situation.
