Which concept concerns ability, personality, and cultural values that influence job attitudes, stress, motivation, trust, justice, ethics, learning, and decision-making?

• A. Individual Characteristics
• B. Group Mechanisms
• C. Organizational Culture
• D. Time-Driven Model

Answer: (A)

Internal attributes of a person—ability, personality, and cultural values—shape how individuals think, feel, and behave at work. These characteristics influence job attitudes, responses to stress, motivation, trust, perceptions of justice and ethics, how they learn, and how they make decisions. In other words, the focus is on the individual and how their unique traits drive work behavior. Group mechanisms describe how teams interact, organizational culture covers shared norms across the organization, and the Time-Driven Model refers to a framework not centered on personal traits.
