Optimism: The Significance of Individual Contribution and Perception
Elsaid, Abdel Moneim; Knight, M.B.;
Abstract
Authors from multiple disciplines have discussed the importance of personality attributes and the
effect these attributes have on group experiences and the overlying impact of personality on
organisational performance. A total of 166 five-person teams performing case analysis using
managerial cases were used in this study. Significant statistical results suggest that the perception
of a group’s optimism is a suitable indicator in measuring a group’s optimism. Results further
demonstrate that individual perception is significant to the actual mean contributions of optimism
and the perception of a group’s optimism is significantly similar to the group mean level of
optimism. Implications of the findings of this study provide value for the hiring practices of
domestic as well as international
