By understanding these relationships, recommendations for navigating the changing work environment can be developed. Design/methodology/approach A total of 443 people, comprising a mix of remote, hybrid and nonremote workers, completed an anonymous online survey in which they were asked to provide their Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI) type preferences, demographic information, views about their job and (as appropriate) information about their home working environment and views on remote working and/or their workplace environment and views on nonremote working and/or on issues specific to hybrid working. Findings Differences between employees’ preferred amount of remote working and the actuality of their job was a key determinant of whether they were thinking of leaving, suggesting that mandating a return to the workplace...

Ces deux etudes se sont deroulees a quatre ans d'intervalle, dans des organisations britanniques de differents secteurs industriels. Les resultats de la premiere etude de validation ont servi a predire les resultats de la seconde etude. Cette procedure de validation croisee permet de s'assurer que les resultats de la seconde etude reposent sur des hypotheses a priori, claires et ne peuvent pas etre imputes au hasard. Dans chacune de ces etudes, les cadres ont eteevalues suivant un ensemble de competences professionnelles definies par chaque organisation, independamment l'une de l'autre. Cinq des competences presentes dans la premiere etude sont directement comparables a cinq de la seconde etude. Les dimensions de l'OPQ/PPE qui predisent la reussite sur chacune des competences de la premiere etude ont ete utilisees comme hypotheses dans la seconde etude. Les resultats confirment que l'OPQ/PPE predit la reussite dans un poste (au-dela de la mesure d'aptitudes) d'une maniere coherente a travers differentes organisations et a des moments differents, et montrent que les relations mises en evidence ne relevent pas de simples effets de hasard dans les donnees. This article presents the results of two separate validation studies of the Concept Model of the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ). The two studies were separated by a four-year interval and the organisations came from different industry sectors in the UK. The results from the first validation study were used to predict the results in the second study. This cross validation procedure ensured that the results in the second study were based on clear a priori hypotheses and were not merely the result of chance. In each of the studies the managers were assessed against a separate set of job competencies which each organisation developed independently. Five job competencies were present in the earlier study which were directly comparable to five in the later study. The scales of the OPQ that predicted success on each of the competencies in the first study were used as hypotheses in the second study. The results confirm that the OPQ predicts job success (over and above measures of ability) in a consistent and predictable fashion across different organisations and over time, and demonstrates that this relationship is not merely a reflection of chance effects in the data.
