Evaluating employees through situational workplace behavior

I. Corporate culture.

Employee behavior influences and contributes to the overall culture of a business. It greatly affects the working environment and the quality of work as a whole.

It can be said to be corporate culture the shared standard for behavior, beliefs, and communication between people within a business. It influences how employees behave, while employees' own behavioral culture also affects the business in return.

Large businesses often have distinctive working styles suited to their industries or shaped by the leader's approach. New members who join are assessed to some extent for the suitability of their professional personality. This helps determine whether they fit the industry and the corporate culture.

The early stage of establishment is often difficult for defining and building a shared culture. Many people begin building a business together around a common idea. However, personal conflicts and differences in personality can lead to divisions that affect the business, making it difficult to establish a common corporate culture.

Situational cultural behavior

Situational cultural behavior refers to actions that are not specified in written regulations. Such behavior reveals the nature and personality of a candidate or employee because there is no clear standard for how it should be performed or evaluated.

Therefore, employees need to be assessed. The results will help leaders and managers gain a clear understanding of their employees' individual skills and teamwork skills.

II. Applying Big-five factors to measure employees' behavioral culture.

Based on the psychological process a person goes through when a situation arises, the following factors are measured to assess the corresponding skills.

1. Observe: 

Observation skills help people understand situations involving both work and people in the workplace. They enable individuals to recognize and respond to others' emotions. This factor reflects an employee's level of subtlety and attentiveness at work and in situations that arise in the workplace.

2. Calmness: 

Calmness reflects how a person responds to a situation. Does the employee remain calm under pressure, or do they become overly anxious when situations arise? Calmness involves recognizing situations and problems from multiple perspectives to gain an overall view and reduce the influence of emotions.

3. Confidence:

Many people are shy and therefore unable to express their opinions or thoughts. Assessing confidence in social and unfamiliar situations reveals their actual level of confidence. Leadership, public speaking, presentations, sales, and social communication all require confidence.

4. Persuasiveness: 

Persuasiveness is reflected in how a person discusses, debates, and persuades others through speech. It can reveal the logic and structure of an employee's thinking.

5. Optimism:

This refers to how a person responds when a situation is resolved. An optimistic response to problems reflects how that person tends to receive and learn from them. A high level of optimism can positively influence the activities of those around them. Above all, everyone makes mistakes at times. How they improve their shortcomings is strongly related to their motivation, future performance, and work quality.

6. Enthusiasm: 

This is expressed through a person's level of humor and liveliness in social interactions. It can be observed through tone of voice, body language, and emotional expression in communication.

This trait is highly important in all roles that require “attracting people.” It supports the rapid establishment of personal relationships, especially in networking, entertainment, and sales.

7. Competitiveness: 

Consider whether they tend to be competitive and enjoy competition. An appropriate level of competitiveness is necessary in many roles. Competitiveness is often clearly displayed in group discussions. Greater ambition, participation, and strength of argument—or a stronger tendency to prove that they are right—indicates higher competitiveness.

8. Collaborating: 

This factor reflects the extent to which a person sacrifices their own interests for harmony or solidarity. Cooperation leads to an understanding of the other party’s perspective and increases internal harmony and unity. Cooperation is closely related to internal conflict. This may involve a tendency not to compromise or frequent confrontation between employees, or between employees and managers. This can cause difficulties in communication and task completion. Conflicts should be managed systematically, with the most appropriate method selected according to the situation.
