o Conscientiousness correlates with reduced tardiness and absenteeism.
o Agreeableness, Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness tend to predict success in customer service positions.
o In general it makes sense that important work behaviors such as willingness to stick with a job, absenteeism, honesty, and general fit to a job are correlated to personality variables.
