However, Creed and Evans (2002) found that personality accounted for an additional significant amount of the explained variance in well-being over and above that contributed by the latent and manifest benefits of employment. Despite the converging evidence that personality characteristics make significant contributions to the experience of occupational stress, much of the research has been atheoretical or exploratory, and it is difficult to formulate workplace practices or occupational stress interventions based on findings that a small or even moderate amount of variance in the experience of occupational stress is accounted for by a particular personality characteristic.
Researchers working within this framework would perhaps recommend that interventions be aimed at increasing humour, optimism and tolerance of ambiguity and decreasing negative trait affectivity, neuroticism and dependence.
