Abstract
We commend the focal article by Dupré and Wille (2024) that introduces personality development goals at work. Yet, to many organizational researchers, this may strike as a bold proposal given its novelty and provocative nature. Seeing the potential of this proposal, we offer discussions on potential theoretical and methodological challenges that researchers, who are eager to advance this line of research, may encounter. We encourage future research to tackle these issues in order to further advance theoretical developments and practical applications of personality development at work.
