The following thesis explores personality as a predictor of teamwork competencies. What personality traits should one individual possess in order to be a good team player? What are the personality traits that have an impact in specific teamwork competencies? Which ones are more relevant in predicting a certain competency? The resultant findings can be applied in several Human Resources systems such as performance appraisal, selection and recruitment, as well as the efficient design of work teams. The presented literature review provides an overview of teamwork models and competencies. Further on, one instrument to measure teamwork competencies (CATME) is discussed, as well the personality model that supports the independent variables of the study. Lastly, hypotheses are suggested according to several research findings and theoretical assumptions. The outcomes of this study can be used to understand the influence of personality on teamwork. Future research and practical implications in organizational settings are posited.
