BERRIOS-MARTOS, M. Pilar e GARCIA-MARTINEZ, J. Miguel A.. Effect of congruence between Type A Behavior pattern and type of task on performance and satisfaction. Rev. Latinoam. Psicol. [online]. 2006, vol.38, n.2, pp.271-284. ISSN 0120-0534.
This paper is an experimental study whose basic aim is to check whether the congruence between personality characteristics and task characteristics has positive effects for performance and satisfaction in individuals. The results reveal that Type A Behaviour Pattern individuals get better results in cases of adjustment or congruence than in cases of disadjustment or incongruence, whereas the performance of Type B Behaviour Pattern individuals is not related to the adjustment or disadjustment between personal needs / aims and the tasks demands. In addition, we have found that Type A Behaviour Pattern persons also have greater levels of satisfaction in cases of congruence than in cases of incongruence. However, Type B Behaviour Pattern persons show the same level of satisfaction in both cases.
