An important developing field is the study of how personality traits (PTs) influence occupational results. While previous theories like situationism focus on the impact of situations, the role of situations as a catalyst for personality in the context of IB has not been explored. Theories like person-job fit have also established the personality-job resemblance for performance measures. This paper aims to conceptualize the activation of PTs for IB responses from employees using trait activation theory (TAT).\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000The TAT explains the personality-triggering effect in diverse situations for performance measures. Plenty of research studies have established IB of employees as a performance measure at the individual level that further rejuvenates organisational performance measures. The current study aims to conceptualise how personality and situational factors interact to affect IB outcomes in firms using the TAT. Employees in different occupations utilise personality coherent conflict handling styles (CHS) to manage conflict situations, which might serve as situational cues to activate personality effects in employees engaged in IB.\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000A theoretical framework for understanding how situational cues activate PTs for IB development has been proposed in this study.\u0000\u0000Practical implications\u0000The findings of the study have repercussions for pedagogy and the practices that are currently used in human resource management.\u0000\u0000Originality/value\u0000The study concludes with a series of propositions by arguing and supporting literature on existing conceptions of the trait activation process.

Gbadago","doi":"10.1108/ijis-04-2023-0084","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/ijis-04-2023-0084","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose\u0000For a public servant (PS) to be innovative, he or she needs to gather and process enough vital information from budget setting processes. However, research addressing how budgetary participation (BP) can trigger innovative behaviour (IB) in PSs and eventually foster task performance (TP) is rare, which is why the authors conduct this research. The purpose of this study is to understand how BP shapes TP through the IB of PSs.\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000The authors develop and test a mediation model with 860 responses from public sector workers across 25 government agencies using the PLS-SEM technique of Smart PLS 4. Possible control factors were addressed for both the mediator and target-independent construct. In particular, the authors use sex, age and tenure as control factors for IB. Also, the authors use job satisfaction, job engagement and perceived fairness in the budgetary system as control factors for TP.\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000The authors find a favourable and significant relationship between BP and TP; BP and IB; and IB and TP. The authors also find that IB partially mediates the relationship between BP and TP, such that BP fosters TP through the innovativeness of PSs. This finding suggests that PSs who participate in budget preparation are able to innovate, which, in turn enable them to perform tasks effectively.\u0000\u0000Research limitations/implications\u0000The authors call on forthcoming researchers to test the mediation model in other public sector settings worldwide. They may also consider other variables that can possibly mediate the positive impacts of BP on TP.\u0000\u0000Practical implications\u0000Lessons are discussed for governments, human resources directors and managers, management accountants, budget officers, procurement officers and other public sector workers and consultants.\u0000\u0000Originality/value\u0000The authors show how BP fosters TP through the innovativeness of PSs, since there is much more to know in this regard.
