AB  - The occupational personality profiles of 101 redundant senior
executives were related to their job‐hunting success using psychometric
tests (16PF and a management interest inventory). Job‐hunting success
was defined in terms of time taken to get a new job, new salary package,
and increase over last benefit package. Average age of the sample was
42.4 years and executives had spent an average of 11.8 years with their
last organization. Time to get a new job ranged between 1 and 12 months
and averaged 3.9 months. Findings suggest that executives who were more
intelligent, assertive, sensitive to others, resilient, well‐motivated,
and who were relatively more experienced were significantly more
effective at getting better jobs.
